    i have a plugin is requiring:

    wp-config.php and /wp-content/ to be chmod 755 or higher.

    on my server 755 won’t allow the plugin to work – only 777.

    my question is: is it safe to have the permissions of wp-config.php and /wp-content/ set at 777?

    wp-config.php should be no higher than 644
    wp-content should only be set to 777 on a temporary basis

    risks for wp-config.php at 777

    SEVERE !!!

    thats why the moderator said: temporary; just for plugin to get installed
