abinidi 1 Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 WordPress tells me that if I want to use Permalinks, I have to change the permissions on my .htaccess file to 777, so it can write the rules that allow the permalinks to work correctly. Here is what I don't understand: Do I have to leave the permissions at 777, or can I switch them back to 644 once the change has been made? Isn't there a pretty big security risk if I leave my permissions at 777? Thanks, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCH-Don 0 Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Me I would reset the permission as soon as it is done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
abinidi 1 Posted August 8, 2005 Author Share Posted August 8, 2005 Actually, the permission is supposed to be 666 not 777. Does anybody know if the permalinks will continue to be created and work correctly if I switch the permissions back to 644? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCH-Bruce 16 Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Paul, yes they do still work when the permissions are changed back. You could always just copy/paste the information into the .htaccess file and then you don't have to change the perms at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
