May need to change file permissions
(I entered this questions in the comments of the article "Changing File Permissions" but that hasn't been answered, so I'm trying this way.)
I think I need to change my file permissions, b/c I tried to make a widget inactive today and it wouldn't take -- then I saw I had emails saying my firewall prevented a potential attack. I couldn't use the whitelist link in the email because I didn't "have the permission" to do so.
The widgets.php file's permissions are set to 644. This seems to be the problem, b/c it doesn't allow me to execute. But I'm kind of guessing.
I was able to add the widget. I can't understand why I can't deactivate it or delete it.
What would I change the permission to so I can successfully delete this widget and still be safe? (my site was definitely attacked this morning b/c I had about 40 alerts of an executable file upload, so I don't want to leave myself too vulnerable.)
Thanks,
Monica
