Deseja corrigir o erro de permissões de arquivos e pastas no WordPress?
Permissões incorretas de arquivos e pastas podem causar erros em seu site WordPress durante o upload. Esses erros podem impedir que o WordPress faça upload de imagens, interferir em scripts e reduzir a segurança do seu site.
Neste artigo, mostraremos como corrigir facilmente o erro de permissões de arquivos e pastas no WordPress.
Como funcionam as permissões de arquivos e pastas no WordPress?
As permissões de arquivos e pastas no WordPress controlam quem pode ler, executar ou modificar os arquivos do seu site. Sua empresa de hospedagem na Web do WordPress usa um software especial, como o Apache, para gerenciar e exibir esses arquivos nos navegadores.
Essas permissões são essenciais para que o WordPress manipule arquivos, crie pastas e execute tarefas no servidor.
Se as permissões forem definidas incorretamente, isso pode impedir que o WordPress faça coisas como criar pastas, fazer upload de imagens ou executar scripts. As permissões incorretas também ameaçam a segurança do seu site WordPress.
Quando as permissões estão erradas, o WordPress geralmente o alerta sobre problemas como a impossibilidade de editar arquivos ou criar pastas. No entanto, às vezes, você pode não ver mensagens de erro específicas.
Quais são as permissões corretas de arquivos e pastas no WordPress?
As configurações corretas de permissão de arquivos e pastas permitem que o WordPress crie pastas e arquivos. As configurações a seguir são recomendadas para a maioria dos usuários:
- 755 para todas as pastas e subpastas. Isso permite que o proprietário do site leia, grave e execute pastas.
- 644 para todos os arquivos. Isso permite que o proprietário do site leia e grave arquivos, enquanto outros podem apenas lê-los.
Dito isso, vamos dar uma olhada em como corrigir facilmente as permissões de arquivos e pastas no WordPress.
Corrigir as permissões do WordPress para arquivos e pastas
Primeiro, você precisará se conectar ao seu site WordPress usando um cliente FTP como o FileZilla ou o aplicativo File Manager no cPanel. Depois de conectado, basta acessar a pasta raiz do seu site WordPress.
Depois disso, você deve selecionar todas as pastas no diretório raiz e, em seguida, clicar com o botão direito do mouse para selecionar “File permissions” (Permissões de arquivo).
Isso fará com que a caixa de diálogo de permissões de arquivo seja exibida.
Agora, você precisa digitar “755” no campo de valor numérico. Depois disso, você deve clicar na caixa de seleção “Recurse into subdirectories” e, em seguida, selecionar a opção “Apply to directories only”.
Clique no botão “OK” para continuar. Seu cliente FTP começará a definir permissões para pastas e subpastas. Você precisará aguardar a conclusão.
Em seguida, você precisa selecionar todos os arquivos e pastas na pasta raiz do seu site WordPress e, em seguida, clicar com o botão direito do mouse para selecionar “File permissions” (Permissões de arquivo).
A caixa de diálogo de permissões de arquivo será exibida.
Desta vez, você precisa digitar “644” na caixa “Valor numérico”. Depois disso, basta clicar na caixa de seleção “Recurse into subdirectories” e, em seguida, selecionar a opção “Apply to files only”.
Clique em “OK” para continuar.
Seu cliente FTP começará a definir as permissões de todos os arquivos do seu site WordPress.
Se esse método não funcionar, recomendamos que entre em contato com o provedor de hospedagem. Pode haver um erro do lado deles e eles poderão ajudá-lo. Leia nosso guia sobre como solicitar corretamente o suporte do WordPress para obter mais dicas.

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 says
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 says
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 says
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.

Do I have to wait?
Or something wrong happened?

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!

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 says
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.

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 says
Then users would run into an issue trying to view your content.

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!

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 says
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 says
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.
Cody Cortez says
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’

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 says
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 says
@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.
