      After suffering a malware episode I wonder if there is an optimum setting for the file permissions for a typical Wordpress site?

        Hi Colin,

        Take a look at this page on the Wordpress.org site. The link should take you right to the file permissions section.

        Hope this helps!

          Thanks very much George.

          I had spotted that but wondered if anyone had any other permutation that had worked for them.

          I think I'll follow the settings suggested on that page.

          Cheers,

          Colin
