A question from David Stembridge via email:

Greetings, I didn't see a place to leave a comment on your blog; but had a question!

I am unclear about the "FTP credentials" being requested to install Xhanch - My Twitter on my web blog. I have it working great on another blog ( http://pinelandbakery.com/ ); but don't remember having to do the  FTP credentials on that one.

Can you advise me on that?
Thanks! David Stembridge

Well, that's because you have a permission issue to access the plugins folder so that WordPress will ask for FTP details so it can upload the plugin folder and files to wp-content/plugins folder.
So, simply fill in your FTP details as requested.

Set the Hostname to localhost and you can fill the FTP Username and FTP Password with your FTP account or CPanel account. As for the connection type, it's commonly FTP.
