    Hi, looking through the files on my server I notice that a number of aMember files have their permissions set to 664. Is this correct or should they be 644 like all the other files are ? I had one custom file that was causing me problems and I changed the permissions from 664 to 644 and it then worked fine. Just wondering if these other files may be causing problems that I haven't seen yet.

    Regards
    Paul

    Exact permission depends on your server configuration. All aMember php files should be readable by PHP, all aMember assets files (images, styles etc) should be readable by webserver and the following directories should be writeable by PHP:
    • /data/
    • /data/cache/
    • /data/new-rewrite/
    • /data/public/

    Thanks for the reply caesar. I'm on a linux server. All my wordpress files seem to have 644 set and it's only aMember files that have 664 so I wasn't sure if they were set correctly. I'm not sure what the difference is between these permissions so don't know how it will affect things.

    You can leave permission as is.
