• After migrating a WordPress site, everything has been linked back up and is working fine except folder permissions are not being respected and this is causing other problems down the line.

    What’s really strange is that the folder permissions themselves are fine; 0755 and even changing them to 0777 doesn’t work.

    What could this possibly be about migrating that would mess up WordPress’ internal recognition of folder permissions?

    Thanks, Bryan

    Can you quote the errors that you’re seeing?

    Here’s one:

    “xxx.jpg” has failed to upload due to an error
    Unable to create directory xxx. Is its parent directory writable by the server?“xxx.jpg” has failed to upload due to an error
    Unable to create directory xxx. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

    Another problem is that the cforms plugin is not working.

    The first error there are dozens and dozens of threads for, but the situations and solutions don’t apply. After looking into the cforms issue it appears to be permissions related as well.

    So obviously, migrating everything messed up permissions. I remember with old WordPress setups you needed to manually edit permissions, it seems with new ones it automatically sets them.

    Since the folders all have the right permissions, perhaps it is a WordPress file or two that handle actions/functions that may need to have permissions corrected?

    Also, I’ve migrated WordPress setups in the past without this issue, so that could point to something in WordPress 3.X.X.

    Thanks, Bryan
