    Hi guys!

    I’ve got a little question to wordpress and its plugins.
    Following the description in digging into wordpress, I installed my WP into a custom subdir.
    Now, I’m curious if there’s any "hack" to get my plugins to update by pressing the specific button in the backend. I’m sick of copying the new folder every time into my WP folder.

    Sorry for the noob question :)

    thanks in advance!

    I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking here. You should just be able to click the "upgrade automatically" button if a plugin needs updating.

    I’m sorry for being imprecise.
    Due to the installation of the WP core files into a subdir, the automated upgrade does not find my plugins dir anymore. Thus, the button does not work and I have to copy upgraded plugins on to my FTP manually.

    Hi guys,

    solved it by myself.

    After editing wp-config.php with following code at the end of the file:

    Code:
    if(is_admin()) {
    add_filter(‘filesystem_method’, create_function(‘$a’, ‘return “direct”;’ ));
    define( ‘FS_CHMOD_DIR’, 0751 );
    }

    Now, plugins update despite WP installation in sub-dir.

    Greetz!
