Server setup not allowing auto updates of themes or plugins

    Hi,

    Is there anything I can add to my .htaccess file to enable auto updates? At the moment they either don’t happen at all, or partially happen and corrupt whatever is being modified. At the moment I’m using the following, which helps dramatically with certain plugins.

    <IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>
php_value upload_max_filesize 256M
php_value post_max_size 256M

    Another problem, albeit related to the configuration/installation of WordPress, is that some plugins can’t run scripts on the server. For example, my Gravity Forms installation won’t allow me to export data as a CSV file. It gives errors such as, “Cannot decode raw data” (Safari), or file not found (Firefox).

    Before anyone tells me to change my permissions, I’ve set everything on the server to 777 in desperation ??

    Change permission back, huge security issue making any file or folder 777.

    Oh it’s an unimportant site at this stage. I’ll be changing them back shortly anyway.
