 * I just updated the plugin and now I’m getting this error “Directory is not executable!
   C:\####\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\php-snippets/snippets Please adjust your
   file permisions”
 * The same thing happens when i tried to edit the snippet directory “The selected
   directory is not executable. Please adjust your file permissions. C:\\####\\wordpress\\
   wp-content\\customphp”
 * I did not change the permissions or anything else. All I did was update the plugin.
   I went and double checked and both directories have full permissions.

 * 2 directories are scanned when the plugin loads: the 3rd party directory and 
   also the built-in directory inside of wp-content/plugins/php-snippets/snippets—
   What are the permissions of the built-in directory?
