    I am having WordPress issues after installation. I have successfully installed WordPress on my Linux Server with UbuntuOS and ISPConfig installed. WordPress was installed successfully, however, i am unable to do anything with the website when it comes to Themes & Plugins. Whenever i want to make changes
    1. It brings up ftp connection prompt (Which requires me to enter ftp details to be able to make changes like install or delete a plugin)
    2. When i login to ftp, then it still fails to do the necessary changes, still bringing errors.
    I tried following up some chatgpt&gemini instructions tryng to change user permissions to www-var/var-www but this doesnt work as well. I added a direct connect code on wordpress wp-config file still it doesnt help. When updating it says unable to located Wordpress content directory (but i have checked it's there).

    Has anyone faced this issue before and how were they able to solve it?

    Here are other important Details that might help.
    Operating System: Ubuntu OS
    Web Panel: ISPConfig
    Web Server: apache2
    CMS: WordPress (Latest Version)
