So far I used the SSH SFTP Updater Support plugin but that broke so I tried to use the ssh2 FS_METHOD. I now keep seeing the error: Unable to locate WordPress content directory (wp-content). I read about issues #32345 and #33919 and verified that my installation comes with the fix: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/34738 Still, ssh2 is not working for me. I found a remark there: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-update-ssh2-fails-unable-to-locate-wordpress-root-directory/ that says the function exists returns false when it should not, so maybe the fix is broken in certain cases? I use WordPress 4.7.4, Ubuntu 16.04, PHP 7 with SSH 2 (according to phpinfo): {{{ extension version: 1.0 libssh2 version: 1.5.0 banner: SSH-2.0-libssh2_1.5.0 }}} Not sure what enabling verbose did in class-wp-filesystem-base.php, but maybe I see the following info as a result?: {{{ Looking for /var/www/firsttechfirst.com/wp-content in /home/xyz/ Looking for /var/www/firsttechfirst.com/wp-content in / Unable to locate WordPress content directory (wp-content). }}} Wp FS Tester says the following: {{{ Connection Method ssh2 ABSPATH /var/www/firsttechfirst.com/ PLUGINDIR wp-content/plugins FS Errors None FS CWD /home/xyz/ FS WordPress Locator Looking for /var/www/firsttechfirst.com in /home/xyz/ Looking for /var/www/firsttechfirst.com in / FS WordPress Location FS0 WordPress Locator (Old code) Changing to /home/xyz/ FS0 WordPress Location (Old code) Tests Stopped; Error: WordPress could not be located Files in folder }}} Just to check I also tried the suggested change that would take the FTP_CONTENT_DIR into account and I got a different error in that case (something like: ""Error: undefined"") even though base, content and plugin dir were defined. I did check for similar tickets and obviously the support forums as well ... hope it is okay to create this. Thanks! ",defect (bug),closed,normal,,Filesystem API,,normal,duplicate,reporter-feedback,,
