Template Issues

Updated on September 16, 2021

In this article we cover some of the common issues which you may face during or after template installation.


FS_METHOD (Ownership of wp-directory)

This issue occurs when WordPress does not have permission to modify the file systems correctly. To solve this issue on 99% of web hosts, add following codes in the wp-config.php file and modify all three FTP details based on your own details.

define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');

In case after adding line above, a form showed up on your page and asked for FTP credentials, please also add these codes:

define( 'FS_CHMOD_DIR', ( 0755 & ~ umask() ) );
define( 'FS_CHMOD_FILE', ( 0644 & ~ umask() ) );
define('FTP_BASE', __DIR__);
define('FTP_CONTENT_DIR', __DIR__ .'/wp-content/');
define('FTP_PLUGIN_DIR', __DIR__ .'/wp-content/plugins/');
define('FTP_HOST', 'hostname');
define('FTP_USER', 'username');
define('FTP_PASS', 'password');


Error 504 (Gateway Time-out)

This issue occurs mostly when the PHP maximum execution time is less than the Jupiter requirements. Read the Jupiter server requirements article and increase your server’s maximum execution time to the recommended value.
