Reset File Permissions

As is often the case with webhosting and copying files across different directories or from different accounts, things end up not under the correct ownership or with the right permissions for WordPress to function properly.

  • This tool fixes many issues related to file permissions, themes/plugins unable to install or create files/directories, or things not working after migrating.
  • This tool should be tried if you have random issues.
  • Go to Site settings > Tools TAB > Reset File Permissions.
