Hard disk rights for a WordPress website
WordPress website write permissions are easy to set up and can be used to work on your WordPress website without interruptions. However, this comes with some vulnerabilities when you enable write permissions for everything on your WordPress hosting. In this article, we'll explain how to configure write permissions so that you can work safely and easily. Let's get started.
Write permissions at MijnHostingPartner.nl are configurable via the control panel, at the moment we are working on enabling this in the customer panel as well. So in the future it will also be possible to set it this way. The corresponding knowledge base articles will then be adjusted as needed. For now, you can go to the Control Panel and File Manager. The following permissions can now be set to work with WordPress without interruption.
Permissions for WordPress
Setting WordPress permissions on Windows is therefore done through the file manager. But which permissions are the safest to transfer? During the installation and initial setup of a WordPress website, it's easy to assign full write permissions. Once this is done, it's best to enable write permissions only on the wp-content folder and the files below it. This will allow you to work normally in WordPress, uploading and updating themes and plug-ins. You can also create and upload photos and media normally. For a large portion of users, this will be more than sufficient.
These permissions are granted through the file manager, then navigate to the wwwroot. And here, in the wp-content folder, set the write permissions with the folders below. After that, you can work normally with a WordPress website, and your website will be better protected from abuse. However, this is not a guarantee and requires a few more steps, which we will discuss below.
Install WordPress updates on time
To ensure that a WordPress website continues to work properly, is fast, and remains secure, it's important that you install timely updates to WordPress itself, the plugins and themes you use. And that you also make sure you have a good backup strategy in place. WordPress is known to sometimes make mistakes when updating a plug-in. Being able to restore a backup is an easy step to ensure that your site is back up and running properly. So, before you install an update, you should first check if an appropriate backup has been created recently. After that, you can install WordPress updates normally with write permission and continue working with peace of mind.
Backing up a WordPress website can be set up with a plugin or through the control panel with a scheduled task. For example, a backup is automatically created every week. You can then keep it up to date and restore it as needed. We highly recommend setting this up automatically and checking periodically to make sure everything is in order. This can prevent a lot of problems.
Writing content in WordPress
WordPress is an easy way to create a website, which is why it's so popular. With a few quick steps, you'll be on your way to creating your website hosting. Writing permissions is one of them. The day-to-day work on a WordPress website is, of course, mostly editing content. By adding a set of permissions, you can make sure that this daily work goes more easily and without hassle. This way, you can easily upload images and create more content without any additional steps. And that's how you can create content without limits.
