[wp-testers] Install plugins without FTP

[Shane Lambert]

Actually, you need to change some permissions on the WordPress folders. 
I have found that to use the interfaces to install plugins and themes, 
the folders need to be writable and owned by the apache user. On Ubuntu, 
I set the owner of the folders to www-data and make sure there are write 
permissions. Then you should not see the FTP prompt when installing plugins.
