I accidentally changed owner of all files on my plone site to plone, and I don't know how to fix this without reinstalling site, which won't be acceptable.
I have backup version which keeps default owners but it's changed in the meanwhile on the dafault site. Maybe rsync can sync only ownerships between these copies???
Any idea would be precious.
Cheers
chown -R user:group /path/to/Ploneroot

I recently had a PHP syntax error that crashed my server after using the plugin editor on my Wordpress website. It is an AWS Elastic Beanstalk hosted website, so I had to use PuTTY to change the file permissions and allow ec2-user to read/write durring SFTP via Filezilla.
I am not experienced with his sort of thing and followed the information from this question to accomplish this task.
Everything went well, but now I cannot edit or "write" anything via my Wordpress website. No plugin updating, no file editing, nothing. It says I need to change my permissions.
Due to my lack of knowledge on this, I have no idea how to reverse what I did when I entered
chown -R ec2-user /var/app
chmod -R 755 /var/app
How do I set the permissions back so I can edit files and update plugins via Wordpress admin?
EDIT: I found out that all I did was change ownership of the files to ec2-user. SO I guess my new question is how do I find out what username to use for my WordPress site to give it back ownership of the files?
Fixed:
I wound up adding
echo(exec("whoami"));die();
to the top of my WordPress index.php file to figure out the user. Make sure to remove it once you're done.
Lets say my username wound up being "foo".
After I had the username, I went back into PuTTY, and ran
sudo chown -R foo /var/app
and can now modify files through wordpress again.
I recently migrated my Wordpress sites to Bitnami on Amazon Web Services. Everything it up and running from the user's perspective, but I'm struggling with a minor permission issue with the themes folder. When I download (or upload my own) theme, it doesn't have write permissions. Bitnami has this as the default for security purposes but when I had my stuff hosted at GoDaddy, this issue never came up.
The odd time I like to go and edit a theme file directly from Wordpress. I also have a File Manager plugin installed that I'll sometimes use instead of FTP to upload theme files.
I can manually change the permissions, either in FileZilla or using SSH but my curiosity and stubbornness would like to have write permission by default on any themes, new or existing.
Do I need to edit a config file somewhere to make this happen?
You need to connect to your server via SSH and execute the commands below described in order to assign correct permissions definitively:
sudo chmod -R g+w /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-content
sudo chown -R bitnami:daemon /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-content
Then check again if your themes works as you expected.
You can read our documentation to clarify all this situation: https://docs.bitnami.com/general/apps/wordpress/
I've installed wordpress on Centos (apache) and i was having problems to let wordpress automatically perform certain tasks like updating plugins and making changing to theme files in editor. I studied about permissions in wordpress codex and i made changes to the files permission in my /var/www/html directory. I set all the directories to 0775 and all the files for 0664 but the thing is still not working.
I think that it has something to do with the users. I think that wordpress is not set as the appropriate users to do those tasks. Please tell me what to do.
It sounds like it's an issue with ownership rather than permissions.
Login using SSH.
Run the following command:
sudo chown apache:apache /var/www/html
This changes the ownership of your web root to the web server allowing WordPress to write files (perform automatic updates etc).
I am new to drupal, and am trying to help a friend with their drupal site, even though I specialize in Wordpress. i did some research on this and found results saying that by changing the permisions to 777 it would fix the issue. I did that, and it still hasn't fixed it... I'm at a total loss as I havn't changed anything yet and it was working a few weeks ago
You may need to recursively set the permissions on the files directory to 777, since the ctools cache directory is deeper inside there.
chmod -R 777 {files}, where {files} is the path to your files directory. Also, you may need to use sudo before that if your server allows it.
I installed and uninstalled wordpress plugins but they're still showing. Waht might be the problem?
Try deleting the plugin folder directly on the server and also clear your cache.
Might be you have only rights to read/write on plugins directory. Try by making chmod 777 for plugins directory so have full rights on that.
