Plugin Updates change permissions

  • I am noticing that after I update plugins via the plugins menu, the specific plugin folder in the plugins folder losses write permissions for the group ( i.e it goes from “drwxrws—” “drwxr-s—“). Is this normal or is this a bug?

    That may be how you have your file permissions are set in wp-config. The site should work with 750 on directories. Check your wp-config.php to see if there are overrides.

    I had an override defined that was set to:
    define(‘FS_CHMOD_DIR’, (02770 & ~ umask()));
    define(‘FS_CHMOD_FILE’, (02660 & ~ umask()));

    I changed it to
    define(‘FS_CHMOD_DIR’, (0770 & ~ umask()));
    define(‘FS_CHMOD_FILE’, (0660 & ~ umask()));

    and now the permissions change to “drwxr-x—” so it looks like the sgid part of the override is applying correctly but the group permissions always get stripped of the write permissions after a plugin update. Any other suggestions?
