I know how to chmod, chown, etc.<\/p>\n<p>I still have a question though. When the owner:group is set to user:user as unfotunately is done on my shared host, I have to have the execute permissions set for public (775 or rwxrwxr-x).<\/p>\n<p>But if I&#8217;m on a vps or dedicated server and can set the owner:group to user:www-data would I be able to change the permissions to 774 (rwxrwxr&#8211;)? Would wordpress still be able to let users upload images and still be able to create new monthly sub directories without public having write or execute permissions?<\/p>\n<p>Thanks<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2788938","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/2788938","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/2788938\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2788938"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
