Install
This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.
Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:
wp plugin install https://github.com/wpranger/wp-upload-permissions/archive/refs/heads/master.zipNo built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.
Display file permissions of a WordPress uploads directory tree.
This simple little plugin examines a WordPress uploads directory and displays all the directory and file permissions in octal notation.
I put it together with the intention of helping lost souls in the wordpress.org forums who are struggling to upload media due to incorrect file permissions. Using this plugin will aid debugging.
Install
Upload the plugin to your plugins directory, activate it and view it in action in your Dashboard Media menu.
Wonder at its astonishing beauty.
To take advantage of automatic updates and notifications, install the GitHub Updater.
