                \n
              1. Upload the plugin to \/wp-content\/plugins\/wordpress-package-installator\/<\/code> or install it via the WordPress plugins screen.<\/li>\n
              2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress.<\/li>\n
              3. Configure SSH credentials (host, username, port, private key, or password) in the \"SSH Settings\" submenu under \"Package Installator\".<\/li>\n
              4. Navigate to the \"Package Installator\" menu to manage packages.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

                Permissions Setup<\/h3>\n\n
                `bash\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
                sudo chown -R www-data:www-data \/var\/www\/html\/wordpress\/wp-content\/plugins\/wordpress-package-installator\nsudo chmod -R 755 \/var\/www\/html\/wordpress\/wp-content\/plugins\/wordpress-package-installator\n    `<\/p>\n\n\n
                \n
                Why is it only compatible with Debian?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
                The plugin uses apt<\/code> for package management. Future updates will detect the Linux distribution and use appropriate tools (e.g., yum<\/code>, dnf<\/code>, pacman<\/code>).<\/p><\/dd>\n
                How do I configure SSH?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
                In the \"SSH Settings\" submenu, enter your SSH host, username, port, and choose between private key or password authentication. Ensure the SSH user has sudo<\/code> privileges for apt<\/code>.<\/p><\/dd>\n
                What if a package is already installed?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
                The plugin uses dpkg-query<\/code> to check package status and updates the UI accordingly. If a package is already installed, it will be marked as \"Install\u00e9\" with 100% progress.<\/p><\/dd>\n
                Is it safe to use?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
                The plugin executes system commands via SSH. Secure your SSH credentials and test on a non-production server. Always back up your system before use.<\/p><\/dd>\n
                Can I add more packages?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
                Edit the $packages<\/code> array in includes\/ajax-handlers.php<\/code> to include additional packages relevant to your environment.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n

                  \n
                • PHP session is now opened only<\/strong> on the Terminal and Log pages (via conditional check in admin_init<\/code> hook)<\/li>\n
                • session_write_close()<\/code> is called systematically after every session usage (via shutdown<\/code> hook + manual calls where needed)<\/li>\n
                • Terminal authentication now persists correctly across page refreshes without blocking REST API or loopback requests<\/li>\n
                • Fixed \"Access denied \u2013 Session expired or insufficient rights\" error when running commands after a refresh<\/li>\n
                • Removed global session lock \u2192 Critical issues in Site Health (active PHP session + REST API timeout) are resolved<\/li>\n
