YOP, Total Security and wp-admin permissions
-
People running the Total Security plugin are recommended to change permissions on the wp-admin directory to 750. This has implications on any AJAX plugin, or so I’ve learned. I’m no WP programmer by any stretch of the imagination, but this seems contradictory at best.
What is odd, though, is that I get different results depending upon the circumstances.
In testing both of my current sites, I got the “An error has occured [sic]!” error box. I set the poll for registered users to vote in, but guests and registered users to view. However, guests cannot view it regardless and get the box. No big deal, but the error message is rather generic. I changed the .js script to state “An error has occured! Did you login first?” whenever an error occurs.
However, after uploading, only one site works as intended. On https://www.cogperspective.org, I can logout, and when I try to vote or view results, no error box pops up? It worked on an exact copy I had downloaded, so I’m at a loss at what is going on. Why it would work on one site and not the other is confusing, and the fact that it seemed to work on a test download makes it even more interesting.
If I get time to re-download and remake the local test, I might try it again, but it is tax season. ??
