File permission set to 644 and wordpress cannot access them?
- by Joel
I'm having problems with WordPress not be able to access files. When installing certain themes and plugins, it comes up with an error saying that it cannot create the directory. When I try to edit style.css it says that I need to make that file writable.
The file permissions were set to 644. It wouldn't work until I changed the settings to 777 or 776. WordPress was installed by our local ISP. Anyone got any ideas?
It seems that WordPress has not been setup properly. Is there anyway I can fix this without reinstalling the whole thing?
