 * This plugin is great. Though I have one issue. I did the following steps
 * 1. Create the MySQL db
    2. Upload the zip archive and install.php files to new
   host 3. Run install.php
 * Thatr should be it but I have this problem after install.php extracted the files
   on my server
 * the wp-content folder had CHMOD as 741 which is not right. I had to do the following
   steps manually to make it work
 * 4. Change the permission for wp-content to 745
 * 745 gives the read permission to public access level.
 * The problem is it should be 745 by default and I don’t want to do this manually
   as its counter intuitive and thye person doing the backup and recovery would 
   not be very technical once I hand over the site to the client.
 * How to make the extracted wp-content folder CHMOD 745 by default.
 * Regards,
    Fahd Murtaza

 * Hi Fahdi,
 * I’m currently working on this change for the next release. On some Linux systems
   the permissions are retained on others they are not. I’m going to try and change
   them through PHP, but I may have to shell out to make it happen. Either way it
   is a bit of work to test across the various OS distributions. The [overview page](http://lifeinthegrid.com/labs/duplicator/)
   for the plugin has some videos on how to get around this easily.
 * Hope this helps till I get the next version out…
