Wordpress File Permissions?

What are the permissions do I need to set for wordpress files and folders?

So nobody can upload files which do not belong to me, and that can help me make wordpress safer.

What are your wp file permissions?
Thanks

 

Most should be 644 but ones which require user uploading should be 755.

 

All files are 644 except uploads folder which is 777.

 

what about other folders such as wp-admin?

 

All includes all files in wp-include, wp-admin and wp-content. Only the "uploads" folder should be 777

 

Wp-admin,wp-content folders must me 755.
But when you upgrade,You need to set them to 777

 

So basically I dont have to change any files because Wp comes with these as default.
I checked my folders, they are 755 and files 644,.

Can this stop people from uploading files that do not belong to me?

 

Yes,
it will disallow uploading files by strangers...

 

Only the admin can upload files anyway.

 

So wordpress is unhackable then?

 

What if i had set all the permissions to 777 for the entire thing?

How can somebody possibly upload a file there if I have no file uploading script?

 

use wordpress security plugin it will tell u ur blog is secure or unsecured and it also tells what to do with permissions.

Few tips.

never use default table prefix.
set 403 access to ur themes/plugins/wp-admin folder.
set hard password.

 

Is this the security plugin WP Security Scan?
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-security-scan/
or some other one?

Thanks for your reply

 

Just another tip..

Keep changing the password of FTP and wordpress regularly. FTP is more important as it will give total control.

 

While checking my error logs, i found these errors

Does anyone know what are these errors?

 

if there is file update change to 755 or 777, if the secure file change to 644 or 655 chmod
