A WordPress plugin by Teck Global to check and fix file and folder permissions in the WordPress root directory.

== Description == Teck Global Permissions Checker scans all files and folders in the WordPress root directory and reports on their permissions. It highlights misconfigured permissions in a color-coded table:

• Green: Permissions are correct (644 for files, 755 for directories).
• Yellow: Permissions differ from recommended but are not critical.
• Red: Permissions are too permissive (e.g., 777 for directories, 666 for files), posing a security risk.

Features

• Scans the entire WordPress root directory recursively.
• Reports current permissions, recommended permissions, and status for each file and folder.
• Color-coded table for easy identification of issues.
• "Fix" button to repair individual file/folder permissions.
• "Fix All" button to correct all permissions at once, with a warning during the process.
• Built-in sorting for the permissions report table.

== Frequently Asked Questions == = What are the recommended permissions? = Files should be 644 (readable by all, writable by owner), and directories should be 755 (readable/executable by all, writable by owner).

= Why are some permissions marked as critical? = Permissions like 777 or 666 allow anyone to write to the file or directory, which is a security risk on a web server.

= Why might fixing permissions fail? = The web server user (e.g., www-data) must have permission to modify files. If files are owned by another user (e.g., root), fixes may fail, requiring manual adjustment via SSH.
