I cannot seem to find a place to start a new thread anywhere. Since this topic is close to my issue, I’m adding a question here.
Based on the recent hacking, I tried to change my permissions to make my site more secure. That caused the site (and admin) to disappear completely. After much finagling, I got the site to come back, but had to set WPincludes, WPcontents, & themes at 777 (and admin is unavailable at this setting). In order to get admin to come back, I also had to set permissions for WPadmin, WPplugins, & wordpress files to 777.
This does NOT seem right! I shouldn’t have to have everything set at 777 to use WP, should I? This seems far too risky in light of the recent hacks.
Any idea why this is happening? Or how to fix it?
