Permissions & Errors

  • I was having permissions trouble after removing Bulletproof Security. I checked all of my htaccess files and nothing remained from that install. So I thought that a WordPress re-install from the dashboard, and now I’m getting some crazy errors at the top of my pages:

    Can anyone tell me what’s wrong, how to correct it, and also why I can no longer create/move files inside of the WordPress install directory (I’m sure it has something to do with Bulletproof Security)??

    -deactivating ALL plugins (yes, all) temporarily to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s). If you can’t get into your admin dashboard, try deactivating via FTP or SFTP or whatever file management application your host provides. If applicible, also remember to deactivate any plugins in the mu-plugins folder. The easiest way is to rename that folder to mu-plugins-old.
    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems (because the hooks remain unless plugins completely removed or some plugins stick around in cached files. So by renaming the folder, you break them and force them inactive).
    – To rule out any theme-specific issue, try switching to the unedited default theme for a moment using the WP dashboard. If you don’t have access to your admin area, you can switch to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder in wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using via FTP or SFTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

    Ok so I just off the phone with the web hosting company. They said that they’re doing maintenance and that could be the cause of the issues I’m experiencing.

    I’ve tried all of the above steps. The install I linked you to is on the server of another install and not only can I not create or move a file in the WP install folders, but in the actual root directory outside of the WP install.

    That would have to be host related right?
