mountainguy2 on "[Plugin: All In One WP Security & Firewall] Weird file permissions recommend 750 to 755"

All in One is telling me the recommended permissions for website root /home/***website/public_html/ is 755 instead of where I've got it set at 750. I thought 750 was more secure, with NO public permission, while 755 allows public read and execute? Please explain, I don't get this...

Thanks, MTN

Hi, please read the following WordPress file permission recommendations this plugin is following.

Thank you

Thanks MBR. So, I'm supposed to change it to less secure permission because plugin is telling me to? I think I'll probably leave as is, and perhaps not use the plugin... MTN

If you don't want to change the permissions to 755 and leave it set to 750 then you are most welcome to leave it as per your request. The plugin is only sharing with you the minimum recommended file permissions settings shared by WordPress.

Kind regards
