Been upgrading dozens of blogs in the last 24 hours to the latest WordPress 2.5 Final Release. Broke some of the custom hacks I previously done but all in all, it’s a worthwhile update. I just hope they’d find a way to do away with the chmod+777 folder permissions on the uploads as it’s causing people headaches with security issues and hack attempts.

@marvin
any hope you’re marvinsweb? e definitely yan ang problem ko sainyo e, i cannot edit or upload everything because of apache server user kahit pa 777 sa wordpress ayaw pa rin…
Nope.
755 will not do with /uploads/ ?
The WordPress /uploads/ folder requires it to be 777 in order for you to use the built-in web upload feature.
you can change it to 664 as long as you change the group to the apache process owner (some are nobody, some are apache, httpd)
