Based on work by Benedek Nagy at: https://salsa.debian.org/freedombox-team/freedombox/-/merge_requests/2198 Tests: - Install WordPress without this patch. Then switch to code with this patch. Restart FreedomBox. WordPress setup should get executed and the setup version should get incremented to 2. The configuration file should contain the include line for freedombox-static.php. freedombox-static.php should be installed and should contain the line for setting FS_METHOD to 'direct'. - Uninstall WordPress and wipe everything. Install WordPress freshly using this patch. The line to include freedombox-static.php should be present in the default configuration file. freedombox-static.php should be installed and should contain the line for setting FS_METHOD to 'direct'. - Installing a new theme using a URL and setting the default theme to the new theme should work. - Installing a plugin and enabling it should work. - Installing an older version of a plugin and then updating it should work.

FreedomBox Service (Plinth)
The core functionality and web front-end of FreedomBox.
Description
FreedomBox is a community project to develop, design and promote personal servers running free software for private, personal communications. It is a networking appliance designed to allow interfacing with the rest of the Internet under conditions of protected privacy and data security. It hosts applications such as blog, wiki, website, social network, email, web proxy and a Tor relay, on a device that can replace your Wi-Fi router, so that your data stays with you.
This module, called FreedomBox Service and also know as Plinth, is the core functionality and web interface to the functions of the FreedomBox. It is extensible and provides various applications of FreedomBox as modules. Each module or application provides simplified user interface to control the underlying functionality. As FreedomBox can act as a wireless router, it is possible to configure networking. It also allows configuration of basic system parameters such as time zone, hostname and automatic upgrades.
You can find more information about FreedomBox Service (Plinth) on the Plinth Wiki page, the FreedomBox Wiki and the FreedomBox Manual.
