What a great idea for a plugin. Thank you.

I got a message ‘File Permissions for /wp-admin/ (644 needed)’ but when I do that (instead of 755) I cannot access anything in the admin. Just confirming what others have reported.

Thank you

Just updated the plugin. Same permissions issue :-/

Any chance you could install the “Subscribe to Comments” plugin? It’d make keeping up with this issue a bit easier )

Great idea guys!

I’ve got the same issue as Rarst–changing from 705 to 644 produces the 404 error.

Thanks!

Hm, so it was actually display error with permissions on wp-admin.

Now it shows that I have to change it from 755 to 644… But setting it to 644 kills my admin area into 404 error. You sure about that setting?

Tried it just now. Very nice and informative.

Two issues I noticed:

1. On general security check there is text “ERROR: UNKNOWN CUSTOM FUNCTION: zip” between Run Test and Email Report buttons.

2. For file permissions some of my files show up as failed, when they have more secure permissions than plugin recommends. For example I have 420 on /wp-admin/index.php while plugins says 644.
