Question

Answer 1

Try:

chmod 777 /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/
chmod 777 /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/wordpress/wp-content/themes/

Then add these to wp-config.php:

/** Add here*/
define('FS_METHOD','direct');
define("FTP_HOST", "localhost");
define("FTP_USER", “my_wordpress_user”);
define("FTP_PASS", “password”);
/** To here*/

In the line above, my_wordpress_user and password are the ones used in wordpress.
