 * I set the chmod for /morehalloween.com/wp-content/uploads/ to 755 and told it
   to recurse into all subfolders, directories and files.
    all files present at 
   the time were changed to 755 but whenever a new file, mostly images, is uploaded
   the chmod is set to 644. Because of that I experience problems, especially displaying
   featured images on autoposted posts.
 * what do I have to do to make sure that anything uploaded retains or gets the 
   proper chmod 755?
