wordpress importer asking for ftp access on localhost (LAMP)

  • I installed wordpress on my localhost. I’m using LAMP on Ubuntu to run Apache and MySQL. WordPress installed correctly without any problem. But now, when I’m uploading any theme or plugin, it’s asking for ftp details. How do I resolve this issue?

  • I found this here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WordPress#Troubleshooting – just above Troubleshooting. Would it help?

    If you work locally and want to install custom themes manually copying your theme directly in the wp-content/themes folder, be sure you create a symbolic link for it as well:

    sudo ln -s /var/www/wordpress/wp-content/themes/your_theme/ /var/lib/wordpress/wp-content/themes/your_theme

    I did not installed wordpress in the way it’s mentioned in the above linked article.
    I just simply created a folder in /var/www/html/ and unzipped the downloaded wordpress files and folders.
    I’ts working completely fine except I can’t upload any thing ??
