WP plugin access
-
R. Anthony Solis
MemberAfter installing several WP sites, I found that some plugins didn't work. I had to wpsafe (www-data) that actual folders where plugin images or caching was located. Access was needed to make the plugin in work.
Is that normal? Assuming I did all my permissions right for my userid who belongs to a group that has been usermod to www-data; what is the ideal permission?
I'm afraid to do wpsafe, for it will kill access to some plugins.

MemberI think this is correct - you may have to individually change permissions on certain plugin cache folders. I had to do this for wp-supercache for instance: it helpfully reminds you to do this from inside the dashboard.
As it stands I have got into the habit of using wpupgrade and wpsafe but do find it a pain when it comes to managing multiple sites (you have to change the domain name in .bashrc for each site).
I hope that at some point that Olly might do some tutorials on automating multiple WP site updates - hint hint!! :)

what plugins Anthony .. (caching, perchance? .. and ..)
Perry, yes, I'm working on a couple of approaches now - using SSH and using mod_ruid2 (kinda like SuPHP but faster) - because the bashrc commands tend to depend on too many variables to be a popular solution.

MemberSounds like Perry hit it! It does this with any cache plugin, Worker (by ManageWP), and some others.
Right now I have my own little guide that I walk through and just do a "replace" all in the editor to change the domain names.
Cool - keep us updated Olly! Thanks for all the awesome work - I'm going to buy your book soon!
