== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= How do I change the file permissions on my WordPress installation? =
From the linux command line (for advanced users):
chmod xxx filename.ext
(replace xxx with with the permissions settings for the file or folder)
From your FTP client:
Most FTP clients, such as filezilla, etc, allow for changing file
permissions. Please consult your clients documentation for your specific
directions.
For more information, please visit http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions
= Why do I need to hide my version of WordPress? =
Alot of attackers and automated tools will try and determine software versions
before launching exploit code. Removing your WordPress blog version may
discourage some attackers and certainly will mitigate virus and worm programs
that rely on software versions.
NOTE: Hiding your version of WordPress may break any plugins you have which
are version dependant.
