Title: errors generated by — class-itsec-file-change.php Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # errors generated by — class-itsec-file-change.php * [tcloud](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tcloud/) * (@tcloud) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/errors-generated-by-class-itsec-file-changephp/) * I am getting the errors below (but they don’t occur with every access). They don’t cause me any trouble (that I know of) other than printing an error on the public web page, which I think is a security vulnerability. * The web site ( http:siegeofbexar.org ) has wordpress in a subdirectory — public_html/ wordpress/ * I believe the problem may be in the “home” name — the errors reference two versions:“ home” and “home2”.

In my case, that is [http://siegeofbexar.org/](http://siegeofbexar.org/) The “WordPress Address” is the location of the WordPress files, allowing you to move them to a subdirectory, which can aid in limiting hacking and prevents conflicts with other scripts you might want in your home page directory. Also, my wp-config was already 644. * I am ready to accept that this could be a problem at my end — I’d just like a little help finding it.
