Solutions
1. Check your wp-config.php file that reside in the root of your WordPress directory
You have to look for this code section
/**#@+
* Authentication Unique Keys and Salts.
*
* Change these to different unique phrases!
* You can generate these using the {@link https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/ WordPress.org secret-key service}
* You can change these at any point in time to invalidate all existing cookies. This will force all users to have to log in again.

*This have to be added with your credential
define(‘WP_HOME’,’http://domain.xxx/wordpress’);
define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’http://domain.xxx/wordpress’);
/**#@-*/
2. From my personal experience and many try and fail I manually added this
define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/wordpress-directory’);
define(‘WP_HOME’,’http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/wordpress-directory’);
- Replace http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/ with your IP or Domain name
- Also make sure that your ISP is not blocking Port:80
- Also notice that when your IP will change you will have to change it too!
Restart Apache
systemctl restart httpd.service
3. Make sure that the directory is Chown by Apache if you are using Webmin
>others>file manager>
go to …
/var/www/html/ + the name of your installed wordpress directory
Ex:
/var/www/html/wordpress/
And now select the (wordpress)
Go to tools/Chown Selected/
Chown your WordPress directory name to : apache:apache
* This will fix the plugin update problem and also the image upload to your posts or pages of wordpress
Et voilà!

***** Plugin httpd_write_content (92.2 confidence) suggests *************** If you want to allow httpd to have write access on the wordpress directory Then you need to change the label on '/var/www/html/wordpress' Do # semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t '/var/www/html/wordpress' # restorecon -v '/var/www/html/wordpress' ***** Plugin catchall_boolean (7.83 confidence) suggests ****************** If you want to allow httpd to unified Then you must tell SELinux about this by enabling the 'httpd_unified' boolean. You can read 'None' man page for more details. Do setsebool -P httpd_unified 1 ***** Plugin catchall (1.41 confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that httpd should be allowed write access on the wordpress directory by default. Then you should report this as a bug. You can generate a local policy module to allow this access. Do allow this access for now by executing: # grep httpd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp
