WordPress LAMP FTP / FTPS

[kris]

Hello

The reason I'm running WordPress on a LAMP application is because I need PHP version 8.x and the standard WordPress applications only have version 7.4

However, a problem has arisen. When trying to install a plugin or a theme, when updating etc..., a window pops up where I have to enter my FTP / FTPS account details, not my SFTP account. How can I solve this?

Thanks
Kris

@kris you probably need to chown the files in /app/data/public/ to www-data:www-data with the terminal

As @msbt mentioned, that window pops up when WordPress does not have write permissions to the files.
