problem with plugins

Newly introduced bug in 4.5.8 …

Replace the following line in the better-wp-security/core/content/perms.php file (untested):

if ( ! dirname( plugin_dir_path( $itsec_globals[‘plugin_file’] ) ) || 755 != substr( sprintf( ‘%o’, dirname( plugin_dir_path( $itsec_globals[‘plugin_file’] ) ) ), – 4 ) ) {

with:

if ( ! dirname( plugin_dir_path( $itsec_globals[‘plugin_file’] ) ) || 755 != substr( sprintf( ‘%o’, fileperms( dirname( plugin_dir_path( $itsec_globals[‘plugin_file’] ) ) ) ), – 4 ) ) {

Since this is untested please confirm whether this solves the issue.

Every time I have updated this plugin I have to go an implement this change to fix this problem. It is still happening in 4.6.8 of the plugin.

Correct.

Is it possible to have the developer fix this problem in the perms.php once and for all since its alot easier for them to do it that to have all of their users have to do it.

I totally agree.
If someone from iThemes is monitoring this forum they should be able to pick this up as soon as they notice it.

Fixed in iTSec 4.6.12 plugin update.
