    I know I am messing with the file permissions, I have tried setting the permissions for the files as well. I tried assigning them to various groups/users like apache,root and nginx.

    These are the current file permissions for my wordpress directory.
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 apache apache 3070Jan210:59 wp-config.php
    drwxr-xr-x 12 apache apache 4096Jan123:31 wp-includes
