Re: WhoAmI in PHP and getting Wordpress plugins to work without FTP

[Bryce Martin <BMartin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is an FTP server installed in Pase by default?  Could it be that you don't 
have an FTP server running in PASE?  Also, the permissions on your 
wp-content directory could be giving you issues, I would check those.  Its 
not considered safe to have wp-content left open with any write 
permissions, so make sure that they didn't get changed.

Hi Pete,

If I am not mistaken the Akismet comes with the base install so that is
probably why you haven't come across this before.
