I downloaded WP File Manager because I am receiving a Destination folder already exists error when trying to install another plugin. However, when I go into file manager, I have the wp-admin and the wp-includes folder, but no wp-content folder. Since I’m getting the destination folder already exists error, surely the wp-content folder must exist, but it isn’t appearing in the file manager. Is this a limitation of the basic plan?

Error: Destination folder already exists /www/wp-content/plugins/js_composer_salient/

One thing is I don’t know why it’s /www/ rather than /wordpress/ as the path

Back in the day when you were called ithemes there was a setting that allowed me to change the folder directory structure of the WordPress installation. With always one eye on security I thought this would be a good idea and there has never been any problem with this ever.

However, i have run into an issue and from an initial bit of research, this file directory might be the issue. The issue Im experiencing and assume is being caused by the directory structure is when creating a staging site with softalicious in Cpanel. None of the plugins are installed on the staging site. Some research indicates this is the likely cause.

It appears that the feature is no longer part of your plugin settings. In my case, I think I need to have the staging site set up as I want the live site to be up. Is there any methods to restore in the plugin, workarounds or possibly letting Softalicious know the directory structure when setting up the staging site?

Any help much appreciated.

I’m trying to protect the PHP files in the WP-CONTENT directory but it displays SUCURI: Error hardening directory, check the permissions.

Do you have any idea how to fix this?

When I tried to edit the website’s php code from the database, the changes still never showed up on the front-end.

I am new to WordPress but just bought this business and need to update the website’s contact information ASAP.

I have already contacted my hosting provider, and they claim it is not their error. I have also checked my backups, but the files are not there either. It seems that they are simply vanishing. Could you please assist me in resolving this issue?

today I moved from our old server at server4you to hetzner, onto a dedicated server, which I setup with ispconfig. So the server has the newest PHP version onto PHP 8.3, so I get the following errors, when I select PHP 8.3:

Deprecated: Return type of WPGMZA\DOMDocument::load($src, $options = null) should either be compatible with DOMDocument::load(string $filename, int $options = 0): bool, or the #[\ReturnTypeWillChange] attribute should be used to temporarily suppress the notice in /var/www/clients/client1/web17/web/wp-content/plugins/wp-google-maps/includes/class.dom-document.php on line 92

We had a website that was recently hacked that is running Wordfence. For some reason the guy was able to traverse directories in the wp-content folder and put his files everywhere. Is there a setting we missed in WF?

My suggestion is to add an option for wordpress_logged_in so that hacks are restricted to access via the login creds. I’m not a programmer so I’m not sure if it will truly help but it seems logical.

I use Force Login and I have bypassed several pages without any trouble. I display an embbed PDF (thanks to the PDF Embedder plugin) on these bypassed pages. The problem is that the PDF embbed is locked by Force Login. Instead of being displayed, it is replaced by the login form.

My question is: How can I tell Force login plugin to display this embbed PDF?

The URL of this PDF is like: “/wp-content/uploads/securepdfs/2023/07/name-of-the-file.pdf”

I am sure that the URL of the page is correctly bypassed, because all the page content is displayed, except the PDF.

Thank you very much for your plugin and for your help.

The .htaccess in wp-content/uploads/ keeps deleting the below code, the file remains put the code gets deleted. I have tried both editing the file and uploading a new file, but after less than a minute it deletes the code. Anyone know why?

<Files *.php>
deny from all
</Files>
