While beefing up the security on my WHM/cPanel (86.0.21) I switched some switch -- now new WP installs require ftp info for plugin-updates.
This was not the case before: you'd upload the zip archive of WP into the public_html directory, expand it and you were good to go. Updates happened with the click of a button
I was trying to get CSF installed to enable country blocking. While installing it advised a bunch of small changes mostly via tweak settings but I think some Apache stuff as well.
I went through all the settings I remember and even looked at the CSF scan to see if there was anything but I couldn't find anything that would cause this.
I know the issue here has something to do with setting the appropriate ownership for the files - I think WP wants the owner to be apache, but I'd really like to get it back to the state where things just worked as they did.
Any idea what setting I set?
Next time I'll write down all the changes!
