Wordpress 403 forbidden help?
I was working with a backup plugin, that said the folder for my wordpress needed to be writeable. So I chmoded the folder from 644 to 666, and now my site is down. I changed the chmod back from 666 to 644, but the site is still down. Is there a site that says what permissions the wordpress has to be? If I changed the chmod back, why is my site still down?

- Delete the plugin through FTP... then reinstall the plugin. Make sure you follow the steps correctly and carefully. Which plugin is it? Need help, let me know. I do WP a lot, so much I dream of coding plugins unfortunately, lol. Good Luck.
- Write permissions for the guest (Web) user in Unix is 755, not 666. That said, I don't think you would get a 403 error for having a non-writable directory; that should throw a PHP error instead. You get 403 errors when you fail to have default documents in a directory and directory browsing has been disabled, or when a directory requires user authentication and it isn't provided.
