    Hi.

    When installing/activating WPSC, for some reason the permission of wp-config.php is changed form 644 to 600.

    Same when removing WPSC.

    Why?

    Thanks

    Hi @dimalifragis,

    Thanks for writing in with this observation.

    WP Super Cache automatically adds a couple of constants to your wp-config.php file to allow it to manage your cache before WordPress has been fully loaded. It also cleans up after itself by removing those constants when you deactivate the plugin.

    When updating your wp-config.php file, Super Cache is very careful never to leave your config file in a half-written state, so if something goes wrong it will not break your site.

    It updates your wp-config file by creating a copy with the necessary changes, then it renames the file to switch you to the updated configuration. In doing this, it appears to have modified your file permissions.

    I have filed an issue for us to investigate a fix for this in a future release of WP Super Cache here: https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/issues/27324

    Hi @dimalifragis – just following up to let you know that we released Super Cache 1.9.3, which includes a fix for this issue. Now, when it updates your wp-config.php file it is careful to maintain the same file permissions on it.
