Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Filesystem Unlocker

Yes it will. And these plugins will "break". Such scripts are rarely made for writing elsewhere then the webserver's directories. As such, you could midofy the lock script to get it to unlock a specific directory after having locked them all. But what would be the point? A hacker could then use this to hack your site anyways.

Yes you could. Either you get them to write elsewhere (then the webserver's directories) and make sure that they won't update with their respective author's updates or you do this another way since you have cron (thus shell) access. My advice : don't open a door. Hackers like opened doors. Change the way you do things and you'll get results you never had.... Security and protection.

By default, only people with edit_posts permissions and up can do this. This being because if you can edit a post, well, you could need to upload a picture to put into your post.

No known bugs exist at this time. Please notify any and all bugs to the support forums on the plugin's page.
