Fix WordPress Asking For FTP Credentials On Mac

Credit goes to Justin Kopepasah: Change Local Apache User on a Mac (Mavericks)

Apache permissions on Mac (Mavericks) prevents uploads on certain local environments, particularly updating of WordPress' core and plugins (WordPress will ask for FTP credentials).

To fix this, change Apache's default User and Group.

# /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

User [your_username]
Group staff

Then restart apache:

$ sudo apachectl restart
