WordPressのファイルとフォルダーの権限エラーを修正したいですか？
ファイルやフォルダーの権限が正しくないと、WordPressサイトのアップロード時にエラーが発生することがあります。これらのエラーはWordPressによる画像のアップロードを停止させ、スクリプトを妨害し、サイトのセキュリティを低下させます。
この投稿では、WordPressのファイルとフォルダーの権限エラーを簡単に修正する方法を紹介します。
WordPressのファイルとフォルダーの権限はどのように機能しますか？
WordPressのファイルとフォルダーの権限は、サイトのファイルを読んだり、実行したり、変更したりできる人をコントロールします。WordPressのウェブホスティングサービスは、Apacheのような特別なソフトウェアを使用して、これらのファイルを管理し、ブラウザーに表示します。
これらの権限は、WordPressがサーバー上でファイルを扱い、フォルダーを作成し、タスクを実行するために重要です。
権限が正しく設定されていないと、WordPressがフォルダーを作成したり、画像をアップロードしたり、スクリプトを実行したりすることができなくなります。不正な権限はWordPressサイトのセキュリティも脅かします。
権限が間違っている場合、WordPressは通常、ファイルの編集やフォルダーの作成ができないなどの問題について警告を発します。しかし、特定のエラーメッセージが表示されないこともあります。
WordPressの正しいファイルとフォルダーの権限とは？
正しいファイルとフォルダーの権限設定により、WordPressはフォルダーとファイルを作成することができます。ほとんどのユーザーには以下の設定を推奨します：
- すべてのフォルダーとサブフォルダーに対して755。これにより、サイトオーナーはフォルダーの読み取り、書き込み、実行が可能になります。
- 644をすべて使用する。これにより、サイトオーナーはファイルの読み書きができ、他のユーザーはファイルの読み込みのみが可能になります。
ということで、WordPressのファイルとフォルダーの権限を簡単に修正する方法を見ていきましょう。2つの方法がありますので、以下のクイックリンクからお好きな方法に飛んでください：
方法1：プラグインでWordPressのファイルとフォルダーの権限を修正する
WordPressのファイルとフォルダーの権限エラーを修正するには、通常FTPクライアントを使用します。このエラーを手動で解決する自信がある場合は、2番目の方法に進んでください。
そうでない場合は、All-in-One Securityプラグインでこのプラグインのメソッドを使用することができます.このプラグインは、数回のクリックで推奨ファイルとフォルダーの権限を設定する機能を持っています.
このチュートリアルでは無料版のプラグインを使用しますが、より高度な機能を使用するには有料版をご自由にお使いください。詳しくはAll-in-One Securityのレビューをお読みください。
まず、WordPressにAll-in-One Securityプラグインをインストールします。詳しくは、WordPressプラグインのインストール方法のステップバイステップガイドをご覧ください。
完了したら、WP Security “ File Securityにアクセスしてください。そして、「ファイル権限」タブにナビゲーションしてください。
ここで、プラグインはWordPressの重要なコアフォルダとファイルをスキャンし、安全でない権限設定を強調表示します。
プラグインが権限エラーのあるフォルダーやファイルを1つでも見つけると、「推奨アクション」欄に「推奨権限を設定する」というボタンが表示されます。
修正するには、それをクリックするだけで、プラグインがファイルやフォルダーの権限を変更します。
そうすると、「推奨されるアクション」の欄が「アクションは必須ではありません」に変わるはずです。
方法2：WordPressのファイルとフォルダーの権限を手動で修正する
まず、FileZillaのようなFTPクライアントまたはcPanelのファイルマネージャーアプリを使ってWordPressサイトに接続する必要があります。接続したら、WordPressサイトのルートフォルダーに移動します。
その後、ルートディレクトリ内のすべてのフォルダーを選択し、右クリックして「ファイル権限」を選択する必要があります。
これにより、ファイル権限ダイアログボックスがポップアップ表示されます。
ここで、数値フィールドに「755」を入力する必要がある。その後、’Recurse into subdirectories’ チェックボックスをクリックし、’Apply to directories only’ オプションを選択する。
OK’ボタンをクリックして続行します。FTPクライアントがフォルダーとサブフォルダーの権限設定を開始します。完了するまで待つ必要があります。
次に、WordPressサイトのルートフォルダー内のファイルとフォルダーをすべて選択し、右クリックして「ファイル権限」を選択する必要があります。
ファイル権限ダイアログボックスが外観表示されます。
今回は、「数値」ボックスに「644」を入力する必要がある。その後、’Recurse into subdirectories’ チェックボックスをクリックし、’Apply to files only’ オプションを選択する。
OK」をクリックして続ける。
FTPクライアントがWordPressサイト上のすべてのファイルの権限設定を開始します。
この方法でうまくいかない場合は、ホスティングサービスに問い合わせることをお勧めします。プロバイダー側でエラーが発生している可能性があります。WordPressサポートの正しい依頼方法については、こちらのガイドをお読みください。

I searched around for other articles and I found this other article which mentioned something about using chmod, it qoutes the following “If you are looking to change the permission for the wp-config.php file, you can use the following command for the suggested change as cited earlier –
chmod 600 wp-config.php”, so I would like to know if this is advisable and where can I find the command line?
WPBeginner Support
That is mainly a different way to do what we cover in the article and is not always a beginner friendly method.

I have a problem with my file manager there’s a folder which isnt either 644 nor 755, it is 600 and whenever I try to change it, I get an error alert saying that permission operation failed, how can i solve that?
WPBeginner Support
You would want to reach out to your hosting provider and they should be able to assist you with the permissions issue.

Hi, great article. Just to confirm, I understand step 1 ” you must select all folders in the root directory” and then its the next step that I’m no sure about: “Next, you need to select all files and folders in the root folder of your WordPress site…” So that would be the folder: “Public_Html? Because that’s where the folders I see in your screenshot reside. And your not selecting all the folders again under the root directory as in step 1 right?
Thanks and best regards
WPBeginner Support
It depends on your host but in the folders selected you would want to see wp-admin, wp-content, and wp-includes to make sure you are in the correct location.

This actually worked with the step one (Permissions and 777). For some reason i wasn’t able to delete two folders from the “Upload”-Folder and then it worked. For some reason i had to re-start Filezilla because it was getting frozen but it worked out. Thanks.

Is there a reason why it is recommended to use an FTP client to manage user permission instead of managing them in the C-panel?

Not all hosting providers offer cpanel access

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Hello, I followed this article, but I can’t connect to my website after changing all permissions.
Do I have to wait?
Or something wrong happened?
it would be great if anyone who know about this help me.
WPBeginner Support
It would depend on if you are seeing an error message on your site, for a starting point we would recommend reaching out to your hosting provider to see if they find any errors.

Does anyone have any idea why, every time wordpress automatically updates, I have to go back in and reset file permissions? This page is really useful for fixing this issue, but I just want it to stop!
WPBeginner Support
You may want to reach out to your hosting provider to ensure there isn’t a setting that could be causing that from their end.

How do you handle the request for FTP credentials when you’re learning WordPress on a local host? I read this article but the sharing and permissions menu on a mac does not show a numeric value field.
WPBeginner Support
It would depend on the specific issue you’re running into but rather than needing FTP for a local installation, you would want to navigate to where the files are on your computer.
Admin

For files you state to give permissions 644 for owner,group,others. Why do you give file read permissions (4) to others. Is there some reason others require file read permissions, why are all files not set to 640 ?
WPBeginner Support
Then users would run into an issue trying to view your content.
Admin

Thanks for the tutorial. I could fix this problem for files already on the website, but everytime new files are uploaded they have the same problem again!

If this issue is constant, we would recommend reaching out to your hosting provider to take a look at possible causes.

having this issue on a locally hosted site that I’m using for test purposes only. So I don’t have FTP access to the files and changing their permissions from Windows Explorer is not working. Any other ideas?
The main WP directory and the Themes directory are both unwritable according to the WP System Tools.
WPBeginner Support
You would want to check with the localhost tool you are using for your site as which one you are using would determine the options you have available and the possible issues.

I’ve made your solution with the permissions 755 and 644, the website works a few seconds and than it breaks agin. And i have to do the permissions again. can you help me?

If the permissions are reverting then you would want to reach out to your hosting provider to ensure that there isn’t a setting on their end that would modify the permissions as well.

Hi, I should change file permission:
/ 755 750 WARNING
Can somebody tell me, where to find this “/” in C panel? To be honest, I don’t know, what this sign / means. Thank you, have a great day! Suzana
WPBeginner Support
If you’re using the file manager on your host’s cpanel then your site’s files are normally under public_html as that is where most FTPs connect to your host.

Thanks for this article! I thought I had completely fudged my site. None of my uploaded media or even CSS styling (I have no idea why that was effected) was displaying properly.
I had tweaked my permissions earlier but must have done it incorrectly. Your fix was the solution to my problem!
Many thanks

Thank you for this insightful article – I will keep it as a ressource for cases of curiousity (and panic, of course :D).
What I am struggling with are “wp GET”-lookups with result 404 when playing around with cacheing.
My wordpress installation is in a subfolder named wp, not in the root folder.
Which rights would I have to give this specific folder?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi
I have wordpress installed on a local server and I’m getting ‘no data could be retrieved from the servers’ when I try to access the slider revolution library.
Is this because of the file permissions error described here? I’ve set all of the user permissions to ‘full control’ in my index.php file to no avail. I don’t seem to have the option to change to the numeric permissions you describe above. Really stuck on this one so any help would be appreciated.
thanks & regards

I changed 755 to all folder and 644 to all file. But still cannot upload images to Media and cannot install new plugins.
PS: I upload whole wp-content folder from another hosting to my new hosting and extract it.
Please give me some advices.
Thank you.

This is because you can’t just copy item from a server to another without tweaking the Database. The database must know that the ones you just copied ‘exist’

Useful but since I’m such a newbie and still learning WordPress, I am stuck. I can’t even seem to log in because of the 500 internal server error. Do you know what I should do?

I’ve a problem after i changed permissions to be like above, this error appears :
“Application error
An error occurred in the website and your page could not be displayed. If you are the website owner, check your logs for details”

This works for all types of PHP applications sitting on a website server and not only WordPress. My host denied me access to all folders and files including login page and registration page.
Little did i know that all my files and folders were still to 777 during local development. After changing folders and files recursively to 755 and 644 respectively it worked.
LB
Hi there, Im having issues in that I dont have sufficient permissions to change permissions through the FTP client… unable to create new folders. very frustrating, have spent ages looking for a solution. Running a WP multisite running on Amazon EC2). Thanks.
Suyog
@LB , you have limited access to your FTP account. Please contact Amazon to get you full access. or if you have server access then change permission in filezilla server.
