Wordpress FTP connection setting for localhost to upload and install WooCommerce

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.

Ok I solved the problem by editing wp-config.php in the htdocs folder where I installed Wordpress -> like image 1:

I added the below lines to the wp-config.php like image 2

define('FS_METHOD','direct');
define("FTP_HOST", "localhost");
define("FTP_USER", "admin");
define("FTP_PASS", "1234");

The username and password is the same as the username pass when I installed the Wordpress during the installation.

Just add define('FS_METHOD','direct'); into your wp-config.php.
