i suggest to oxwall to allow plugins and theme update like wordpress  without confusing  ftp attribute and for premium plugin only just key . 80% of oxwall users are not able to using ftp attribute to update theme and plugins . It's very lengthy process to download from purchase history then upload to plugin directory then unzip then update database from admin area .. wordpress use a very simple process to update ..

Edward,


Oxwall already has this. 


If you don't see auto updates requests, read this http://docs.oxwall.org/...st-in-my-admin-panel

tammy  i'm  only talking to make the system simple .. assume you have got update notification more than 50 number of plugins  .. how many time you will put the information again and again ... it's not frustrating  it is ? my post doesn't means that ftp is not working ..it's only mean that maximum no of user are not able to use ftp attribute.. when i installed wordpress in a subdomain i have seen that is quite simple..

Edward,


As Tammy said, ftp questions has been answered many times. Usually they are caused by incorrect ftp server setup, when ftp default user's path is not set properly: Oxwall is unable to detect your actually software's location in this way.  Search the forum please. 


Auto updates work in the same way as you know it on WordPress:


- you should put ftp details once for updating all plugins and themes within the one session

Edward,


You say you and your hosting providers have tried logging into FTP to add/update plugins/themes. That isn't a problem on Oxwall, but your specific site. Now, I know that's not your reasoning but you're using that as your base to say that Oxwall should do updates "without FTP" like WordPress. If I recall correctly, WordPress still requires FTP details (though they usually get them by default). They just over skip the step - not only that but on Oxwall entering your attributes for FTP once will usually make them last anywhere between 5~10 hours.


I also believe making an auto-update feature with no FTP check/login would be bad. I don't think it could stop for only commercial items - it would have to function for both free/commercial so people with slight to expert knowledge could use that for exploiting people.
