Also I noticed WP is running as www-data and not my username.. how do I change that? * On my shared hosting server everything in wp-content is 755/644 appropriately under my acct username. I would like to be able to have those same perms in my VPS. * wp-content 775 and uploads 777 are the lowest perms allowed where I can upload. * however, now I get 403 errors on all uploaded files. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Unmanaged Hosting – WordPress transfer](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unmanaged-hosting-wordpress-transfer/) * Thread Starter [GrimPanda](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grimpanda/) * (@grimpanda) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unmanaged-hosting-wordpress-transfer/#post-3832458) * Looking at my own screenshots… I realized I was editing my main wordpress and not the client one… doh (let me see if that was all) * EDIT: Ensuring I am in the right directory now, the problem continues. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Unmanaged Hosting – WordPress transfer](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unmanaged-hosting-wordpress-transfer/) * Thread Starter [GrimPanda](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grimpanda/) * (@grimpanda) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unmanaged-hosting-wordpress-transfer/#post-3832456) * I chmodded uploads/* to 777 for this test. * Using wp-content at 766, 767, 775, and 777 no joy. * relevant screens: * Changing perms: [http://grab.by/npOw](http://grab.by/npOw) * Attempts to upload after each try: [http://grab.by/npOy](http://grab.by/npOy) * O] * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Embeds for YouTube] [Plugin: Artiss YouTube Embed] Override built-in WP processing not working](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-artiss-youtube-embed-override-built-in-wp-processing-not-working/) * [GrimPanda](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grimpanda/) * (@grimpanda) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-artiss-youtube-embed-override-built-in-wp-processing-not-working/#post-2594863) * David, not too long ago (or least I didn’t notice it until very recently) Your plugin began to cause strange behavior on WordPress sites. For instance on 1 on of my posts (not the rest however) the behavior described by the OP began to appear. I use your plugin for a single PAGE on my site, yet this error appears on a single POST un-related elsewhere on the site. I don’t know why. * If you google “preg_match() Delimiter must not be alphanumeric or backslash in media.php wordpress” you will see that is affecting pretty much anyone using your plugin. * Steps to recreate are (at least for me) impossible to determine. Again, I just use your shortcode on a single page on my site, and it affects another post somewhere else (without any shortcode or youtube, etc). * Oddly enough, I opened up media.php in Dreamweaver to debug the $url being passed( Seems like an unescaped literal being passed to the preg_match) and just SAVING my file made my errors go away, which blew my mind…. don’t ask me. * Anyways, this is the best help I can get to you at this time, since my issues went away the second I tried to narrow them down. Hope this helps a bit… sorry brother. Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total)
