I help maintain a site that runs WordPress, but we don’t have ftp access to the box it runs on. So it makes doing WordPress upgrades a little difficult sometimes. I came across a site that had a little work around for this though. All you need to do is add “define(‘FS_METHOD’,’direct’);” to the end…
