What Is chmod In WordPress?

Chmod in WordPress is a command in Linux and other similar operating systems.

On computer file systems, different files and directories have permissions that specify who and what can read, write, modify and access them.

This is important because WordPress may need access to write to the files in your wp-content directory to enable certain functions.

Changing file Permissions in WordPress

To protect your website from malicious activity, it is recommended to secure your WordPress files and folders by changing their file permissions.

You can change file permissions using an FTP client, or by using cPanel File Manager.
