 * I am having the same problem with file permissions. I am on a VPS and logging
   in as the account owner on cPanel and trying the file manager there does not 
   help. I need to go to the Power Panel as root to get rid of the offending files,
   haven’t tried SSH yet but it may work as well.
 * The problem also comes up when I use the WordPress automatic plugin updater. 
   FTP will not remove or chmod the files even though I can edit them in the built-
   in plugin editor.
 * My hosts support provided the following information:
    PHP is compiled as Apache
   module in the VPS. This will cause PHP to run as ‘nobody’ user and PHP scripts
   are able to write only to directories with complete write permission. That is
   why the files/directories need 777 permissions to execute.
 * I can see that permissions need to be looser for the VPS but how can a plugin
   or a built-in part of WordPress lock these files so that FTP can’t be used to
   change them?
 * The problem is that you can’t chmod on FTP as the account owner and you can’t
   have a root enabled FTP account. What else can be done to fix this?

 * I have the same problem after the upgrade. I’ve tried different themes but I 
   still get the “No posts matching your criteria” on the home page. They show up
   okay when I choose tags or monthly views so what has happened?
