Install went fine and wordpress is running fine.
However any attempt to add plugin or theme causes prompt for ftp credentials.
I've tried several users and admin user credentials and created new users specifically for WP but possibly don't have wp-content permissions or ownership correct. Tried various settings including 755 and 777 permissions. Results are errors about not being able to create dirs or write files to wp-content and children dirs.
Manual ftp tools allow me to login as user wp and place files and create directories, but dashboard does not.
Would appreciate any help.
