update file system security conflicting

Hi,

No 644, is not ideal
I am also running the latest version and I have the permissions set at 640 so I think it’s something specific to your configuration.
What are your other Permissions set at, can you take a screenshot?

The wp-config.php file contains database credentials, nonces and salts so, It should not be writable by the web user.

The wp-config.php file permission 640, which means that the owner has read and write permissions, the group has read permissions, and all other users have no rights to the file.

The Permissions of 644 mean that the owner of the file has read and write access, while the group members and other users on the system only have read access.

Well the plug in would not update. We had to change things to let it update. It is on a local host on a Mac.
We got the update completed and went thru the app and the settings. Once we did this the security app said in the file management codes needed changing. The click button on the side did not change this in the app it would not let that occur so we had to manually adjust the config file in the terminal program.
When we got the config file with the changes (which the plug in would not change) completed the app would not work and my site would not work hence why I posted.

There was something to start with that the plug in would not update. We updated it, it didn’t like the setting in file manager. It would not fix these settings in the plugin, we had to manually change these to fix the plugin. The site will not accept 640 and make the site function. Something is not working in the plugin properly. My brains trust has taken my site to discover what is going on. They know Lynix coding.

I will see what my brains trust has got back to me.

@blackbirdandthehun If you are using your site locally, The file permission doesn’t matter much. So, You can ignore it.

It will eventually be on line not on a local host I am building it to work first on local host.

To set file permission in Mac, Right-click on the wp-config file, Click on the “Get Info” menu item, Navigate to the “Sharing & Permissions” sections, and set User and Staff permission to “Read Only” and set Owner Permission to “Read & Write”.
