Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about SiteCare – File Permissions Manager

The defaults are the widely recommended values: 755 for folders and 644 for files, and read-only 444 for sensitive configuration files. If you are not comfortable with the numbers, just use the checkboxes - the plugin explains in plain language what each choice does and fills in the number for you.

No, and that is on purpose. World-writable permissions such as 777 or 666 let anyone on the server write to your files and are a common way sites get hacked - there is no legitimate reason to set them site-wide. The plugin blocks them (along with other unsafe values like 000 or non-traversable folders) both in the browser and on the server, so you cannot apply them even by accident.

Nothing happens for them. The plugin only changes files that actually exist, and missing files are skipped safely.

Yes. Processing is done in small batches with a live progress bar, so it does not hit PHP execution time limits.

Only administrators (users with the manage_options capability) can open the screen or run any action.

No. All styles and scripts are bundled with the plugin. Nothing is loaded from external servers.
