| I’ve got 5 sites on GoDaddy’s Managed WordPress Hosting all work fine but the latest 4.7 update is not available for any of them. All are currently at 4.6.1 |

| Upon checking here the WordPress version 4.7 is not yet available on your current hosting service. |
01:56:14 pm |
| It is being updated by our system admin for now. But no specific time frame when 4.7 will be available. |
|
|
|
|
|
|

Mark Fayard |

|
|
| Wow never heard of a delay on WordPress update availability |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
John |
01:57:57 pm |
|
|
|
| We apologize for the inconvenience. The reason why it is not yet updated on your current hosting service which is Managed WordPress it takes time to update the version of WordPress manually it will be processed directly from our server. |
|
| Since version 4.7 was just released weeks ago. |
01:58:04 pm |
| But if you really want to use 4.7 I would recommend that you use our Ultimate Linux with cPanel hosting that has the latest version of WordPress realtime. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mark Fayard |
01:59:18 pm |
|
|
|
| I stay on top of WP updates for a number of reasons including compatibility and security |
|
| So you’re steering me away from GoDaddy’s Managed WordPress Hosting to move to cPanel? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
John |
02:00:37 pm |
|
|
|
| That is up to you, it is your preference. But the Managed WordPress version is currently being updated by our system admin right now to have version 4.7 just giving you alternative option. |
|
| Since our system admin did not provide specific time frame when it will be availalbe to your Managed WordPress hosting. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mark Fayard |
02:01:35 pm |
|
|
|
| I think I’d be better off moving to WPEngine, Site Ground or Digital Ocean. I’ve had too many bad experiences with GoDaddy cPanel hosting |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
John |
02:02:18 pm |
|
|
|
| We apologize for the inconvenience. Rest assured that the version of WordPress is being updated and double checked with our system admin. Hopefully it will be updated asap. |

define(‘FS_CHMOD_DIR’, (0705 & ~ umask()));
define(‘FS_CHMOD_FILE’, (0604 & ~ umask()));
Can I remove those? |

|
John |

|
| Please keep a copy of your wp-config.php just to make sure. |

|
|
John |
02:47:08 pm |
|
|
|
| May I know the reason why you want to set the file permission to default 644 and 755 for folders. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mark Fayard |
02:48:38 pm |
|
|
|
| That’s the proper settings for one thing.
Also ManageWP isn’t working and ManageWP support requested I make the change so everything will work properly |
|
| Hello Mark,
Thank you for being so cooperative and providing us with website credentials.
I was able to login to FTP and have noticed that most of the files are set to 444 (read only) permissions
– http://prntscr.com/djjdtt
Could you please change your file and folder permissions to 755 for folders and 644 for files and then attempt to check for core updates?
Awaiting your reply.
Kind regards,
Stefan |

|
| Why all the questions? Have y’all heard of ManageWP? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
John |
02:55:35 pm |
|
|
|
| We are aware of our managed WordPress just checking the complete details here. |
|
| Since they should be able to guide you as well change the file permission. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mark Fayard |
02:56:26 pm |
|
|
|
| I don’t believe ManageWP techs have access to the GoDaddy hosting server |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
John |
02:57:50 pm |
|
|
|
| I see, I just verified with our system admin and the file permission that was set to your current hosting should be the right permission. According to our system admin the file permission 644 and 755 is set for public viewing of files. Now since this is being Managed WordPress hosting that should be the correct file permission. |
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
John |
02:59:28 pm |
|
|
|
| That is why even if we modify or tried changing it to default it is not taking effect. |
|
| May I know the exact error message you are getting? |

03:01:33 pm |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
John |
03:02:16 pm |
|
|
|
| Yes the current file permission should be 444 and 555 for folder. |
|
|
|
|
|

Mark Fayard |

|
| I appreciate that but I’m still stuck with 444, 555, 705s because you’re sysadmin can’t get the job done |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
John |
03:04:55 pm |
|
|
|
| Yes, That cannot be changed according to our system admin that is the default permission for Managed WordPress. |
|
| I tried in my end even reset the server. Then I went to our system admin to process the changes same thing happened. |
03:05:13 pm |
| Only our Linux with cPanel hosting has the option to modify the file permissions. |
