If you are doing a local install and want to be able to update plugins more easily, you can:

`sudo chown -R :_www wordpress`

And the add the following to wp-config.php

define(‘FS_METHOD’, ‘direct’);

The routine it uses for deciding if it can use the direct method relies on owners, but you can be fine doing the permissions part with groups and telling WP it’s going to be okay.

Just curious…Do you see any security drawback(s) by making Apache the owner of the WP directory and all its subfolders and files?

I was struggling with my .htaccess file – add “Options +FollowSymlinks” to the top of the .htaccess file solved it – thank you!
