 * Hi,
 * I am newbie and I have a website and I changed my chmod of the wp-admin file 
   to 755. It also said that it recursively would set all files and subfolders to
   755, atleast that’s what I think, because that happened.
 * Is this safe and correct?
 * I am clueless, thought files inside wp-admin folder had to be 644 and the files
   inside the subfolders also had to be 644 and the subfolders itself had to be 
   755.
 * Please advise, coz I am afraid for access by others.
 * Thanks!
