Hey @linushallstrom,
You should be able to login to your site via FTP or cPanel and adjust the perms that way. Duplicator doesn’t adjust permission, it simply inherits the permissions it was given when the archive and installer where FTP upto the server.
Let me know if this helps~
I don’t have cPanel, and I can’t do anything with the files via ftp.
If I try to create or edit a file, I get this:
553 Can't open that file: Permission denied
If I try to delete a file:
550 Could not delete file.php: Permission denied
This did not happen before I used the plugin.
Is this on your local computer or are you using a host? If its a host who is the provider?
I’m making a website for a small business, it’s on their server.
Is there a specific hosting company you’re working with, I may be able to help you check out their documentation to see what is going on. In most cases, if you reach out to their support they can get the permissions setup pretty easily…
In most FTP clients and hosts you should be able to change the permission, but it some rarer cases you can’t. You may have to chown the root wp directory you placed the installer in or have support do it for you unless they offer some kind of ssh connection.
When you FTPed the archive and installer up to the server the permissions were set based on how the host is setup and its inherited rights of the FTP account used. The plugin would not be able to prevent your account from editing the files when the archive is extracted it simply inherits the rights it was FTPed up with.
Let me know if that helps~
