Wordpress file permission.I've googled it

10-22-2016, 08:07 AM

Hi guys,

I've google about adding file persmissions for wordpress folders and files but it still wasnt cleared.

I just want to make sure

Do i just set the 3 folders
wp-conteont - 755
wp-admin - 755
wp-includes - 755

BUTTTT

1. What about the subfolders and the sub sub folders inside those folders??????
2. Do i add 644 persmission to EVERY SINGLE file in these folders and sub folders?

tnx

Unless you have changed permissions on subfolders yourself then you should be OK...

When you complete the installation WP the first time, that should take care of all the file permissions.

So you shouldn't need to change/set any permissions.

manual install (when u upload files yoruself) = you have to set each file persmission

auto wp install (simple click ) = all files and folders automatically have right permissions

SO the lesson here, and let me save u time. My wordpress sites have been getting XSS/hacked, etc

Just found out, after all these months of installing my wordpress MANUALLY, that they've all had the wrong permissions set on them. LESSON IS

install the core files AUTOMATICALLY so the persmissions will be all set automatically.

Bots will start leaving comments which will make your database so big your server will come to a screaching halt.

Didn't I tell you it was folder permissions? All you have to do is get FANTASTICO on your Cpanel hosting and it installs it for you. And WordPress is pretty easy to install yourself without that anyways. Like I said before I've had issues with scripts requiring server to be DSO php HANDLER and not SUPHP which is apache crap. Which has made my life hell when trying to keep costs down without having to dick around. It's a pain in the ass which had me researching nonsense to get things working when I could have been making websites.

These damn folder permissions, scripts, and server setups are a enough to give me explosives diahrhea.

Actually that's not correct. How will you upload the additional content like post images into the /uploads folder? It must be writable to the script.

Wordpress folders should be 755 and files should be 644.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions
https://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress

On command-line you can use:

find /path/to/your/wordpress/install/ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;

find /path/to/your/wordpress/install/ -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
