    Ok so i was mesing with my settings following a tutorial and i made my whole WP rot folder 777 with my ftp including wp-admin. wp-content, index file, theme files and everything in my blog, and now i got this error https://nerdmodeon.com/

    i think i pretty much ruined my blog and probably gonna have to start all over cus i didnt backup anything..

    Is there any way to get my site back?

    I pretty much gave up all hope..

  • Try chmodding them back to 0755 (standard setting) with your ftp program

    Man u fixed it!

    thanks man u saved my site!

    i really appretiate it

    but the Front page and the dashboard are working but none of the pages of the blog or post are showing

    link

    In which folder are they located and which number should they be?

    all the top level files, the ones next to the three directories wp-admin, wp-content, wp-includes, are 0644

    Roughly, all directories are 0755 (also directories inside other ones) and all single files in any directory are 0644

    Do this first and if it does not bring back the posts then go into Admin and set your permalink structure to default, try your site and after that you can set your permalinks back to what you haven now.

    Good luck

    ty man i was just changing all the files in the root folder and inside every one to 644 i just didnt cahnged a couple of .swf cus i wasnt sure if u should

    all folders are already 755

    gonna try the permalinks ands see if that works

    EDIT: ok so if i change permalinks to default everythign works fine, but when i set them back to month and name, which i had before it mess up again. it says i have to update my .htaccess maybe wordpress is having trouble updating it itself?

    My htaccess is never updated by WP so I copy the settings into it over my ftp program, that is opening the file in ftp and editing it. You also can do that in a local file with NOTEPAD (not in WORD) and uploading that to the root.
    You find the correct htaccess content when you scroll down on the permalink spage.

    For WordPress to update .htaccess for you, it (.htaccess) must be temporarily chmod’ed to at least 666. You can change the permissions easily via ftp client in most cases. Then updating permalinks can be done successfully (no messages) from the dashboard. Don’t forget to chmod .htaccess back to 644 when done.
