Widget Not Updating
-
I’m not the techie behind the scenes of our WordPress use, but I’m trying to use your widget on a government website. However, our tech folks say your protocol for seeking updates is not something that will work for us.
I shared your documentation note with our tech team:
“This widget periodically downloads an XML file from NOAA into the widget folder so it will need the appropriate permissions. Files need to be set to “0644” and folders need to be set to “0755”. See http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions) for more information.”
Our tech folks say:
“What it meant is that it requires public web farm to allow anonymous account to have WRITE permission on web server hard drives in order for this plugin to automatically update itself periodically. Obviously it is not desirable due to our security policy. A well designed plugin should write data into database, NOT onto web server hard drive. Therefore, I’d suggest search for another plugin.”
Is it possible to make this work on your end? Thanks.
