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

[Aaron Bartell <aaronbartell@xxxxxxxxx>]

David, do you recall which profile you specified?  I have tried as many as I
can think of without success (see other post in this thread for the list of
profiles that have FULL authority to the WordPress IFS folder).

Are there are additional things I need to do besides just give authority?
 Like restart servers to clear cached items?  I have restarted ZendServerCE
for some of my attempts but discontinued it because it didn't seem to help.
