Should I give a coder access to my FTP or wp-admin account?

    I'm just wondering because I just recently posted a thread here asking for help on my site (in my signature).

    Let me know. Thanks!

    depend on ur needs, if you want him to install 100% working site, then you'll need all details to him, because he will need to add some database, etc.

    but if you only need something like adding theme, only ftp account. if you want him to custom the theme, you'll need wp account.

    i suggest you to change ur password (all of them) before paying the finalized job for such things...

    i hope it will help you... ;)

    You can create a new FTP user and set limitations on it ! However, before doing it - backup everything.

    Check the coder's rep, you can create an another ftp login account for the same folder you want that script installed, its very easy to do if you are using cpanel.

    Thanks.
