Serious Issue on WordPress Permissions.

  • Okay I installed wordpress but I’m confused with files and folder permissions. I read that all directories should be 755, all files should be 644 & wp-config.php should be 600. So, I did as said; changed all directories and sub-directories to 755, changed all files inside directories and sub-directories to 644. And now when I visit my website https://example.com as a guest, all I see is:
    403 Forbidden
    nginx

    What’s wrong?? Please anyone can specify recommended permissions for each and every files(inside directories & sub-directories), directories and sub-directories ??

    Hi @mininguys

    Permissions will be different from host to host. Ask your host what the permissions should be. They could also help you by checking your site’s error logs for more specific error messages.

    Try the following when troubleshooting:
    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
