The solution for FTP Data is easy, it's a problem on Wordpress files (wp-config.php) not in Server

"but i can't add plugins there they ask ftp data" « This is a configuration of wp-config.php file. Just go to WinSCP put the IP of your hosting and password and edit wp-config.php with the instructions on link below.

Here is your solution: https://www.hongkiat.com/blog/update-wordpress-without-ftp/

Make this and you will fix your problem.

Is nothing wrong with your VPS.

Base on what op said. I doubt he can finish importing 2mil posts with Wordpress.

Op, you need to learn about managing vps with linux, lamp stack, etc. first.

Or best way, hire someone to do the initial setup and importing wordpress.

Also, with 2mil posts there comes 2 problems:

- If your dedi server has less than 6 core and 16GB and there is no optimized lamp stack, you will never run your wordpress website with 2mils posts.

- If you somehow manage to make it through, maintaining is impossible because mysql running will eat up all of your cpu resource whenever you do minor tasks relating to mysql.

So, base on my experience of running a Wordpress website with 600k post. My advice is:

- Either hire someone to change your task to php framework only. Don't use Wordpress.

- Or learn yourselve how to manage and optimized lamp stack. (search Centminmod)

- Or hire some experts.

You have vps and there is no ftp created, you need to create one yourself.

He should be able to login to ftp using the SSH credentials. He needs to put "SFTP" for the type of ftp connection. Username would be the SSH username without domain name (e.g. root).

Edit: For "need FTP credentials" error you need to change the ownership of the files. This happens because root is the owner of your files currently (or the ftp user you uploaded the files with). Apache (www-data usually) should be able to access the files in order to modify/upload new.

You need the following command to fix the problem:

sudo chown -R www-data:root /var/www/

Change /var/www to the site root folder.

He's saying when he upload plugin or something, Wordpress asks for FTP details to install, to fix that he needs also to change something in Wordpress Files
https://www.hongkiat.com/blog/update-wordpress-without-ftp/ « If he does this, it will be fixed.

What you are saying is also corrected, but most in times it is done by OVH Default Wordpress Installation.

What I said is how I fix it. Not only wp, but any cms could have this problem. Have you ever noticed the problem that wp-config.php could not be written while setting up wp? Same issue. Incorrect ownership. I am not sure what FS_METHOD does, but by default; wp should be able to install plugin without having to declare some constant. It's good to have correct ownership anyway. Give it a try.

Hi,
I am trying to import 1 million post to my wordpress site using WP ALL IMPORTER -FREE
current batch is 1 million there may be many more posts later.
but when i import about 75000 posts to my site the import priocess got very slow. Currently i am usng shared hosting on namecheap. seems i can't host my site there. may be i need VPS.
Can some one recommend me the ideal hosting plan for my wordpress website with 2 mn +posts
I have a poor budget

holly smokes!! feel free to dm me - would you like to stress-test our hosting? I have tested many heavy sites, have couple 10gb sites myself but noting like this (if not adult or illegal)

If everything works fine - it will be $2.49/month with first 6 month free. Sounds good?

H

p.s. I will try to help you out myself.
