 * Been running into problems in WordPress with permissions.
 * I pretty much need someone to tell me what WordPress files need what permission
   modes.
 * I’m installing WordPress in my base directory (public_html for example), so should
   I change the public_html folder (and all sub-folders and files?) to permission
   mode 755 for instance?
 * I just want the site to be generally secure, but not run into any problems with
   permalink changing and general moving of files within my site’s directories.
 * Any help is appreciated. A point in the right direction would be great. Thanks
   guys.
