Permissions

[isaac]

I messed up my permissions (ubuntu).

I used this script to fix everything: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=15671

But I still can't edit themes (admin) + allow plugin/theme updates (www-data) at the same time (on Wordpress installs). I'm constantly switching between admin + www-data (e.g. sudo chown -R www-data:www-data public_html)

I've tried almost every example on stackoverflow and nothing seems to work + spun up a new install of vestacp to reverse engineer the permissions.

How can I set both to have write permissions (w/o opening myself up to attacks)?

Please help!

How do I give www-data write access to admin? (guessing that is where I've gone wrong?)

I have a server that works (Sydney) & a server that doesn't (Phoenix) --> I can't upload plugins...:

Could I be missing something obvious?
