Reset directory and file permission for WP installs

Adrien

It would be convenient to have an option on the "File manager" page of Enhance to reset WordPress directory and folder permissions.

644 for .htaccess, wp-config.php and files
755 for the folders

Thank you.

+1 for this

Agree, but I'd prefer to see it in Websites > site.ext > Apps > site.ext/app > Manage > Security section moreso than Websites > File Manager.

When is this ever needed (on Enhance)? I've not had to reset file/folder permissions yet (across 100's of sites) on Enhance.

Very useful when website gets hacked.

Spend more time securing sites so they are not compromised?

I'm not trying to be smart.. but honestly don't you want to fix the hole in roof instead of worrying about a rain sensing bucket that can move under the hole when it detects rain?

Yes well, we have experience with ten thousands of web developers and site owners.
As a web hosting company, you can't fix everything for everyone.
These tools suggested come very handy to site owners, developers and web hosting companies that come to a point where they want to fix a hacked website as fast and easy as possible.

Resetting permissions is already presented on every major control panel for a reason.
Shit can go wrong when the user is not experienced enough. And it happens daily unfortunately when you scale.
