    Again, why should be .htaccess set to 644? And wp-content 777?
    I think that .htaccess should be set to 444 and wp-content to 755, to provide a more secure setup.

    hi fasten,
    thanks for your response! You’re right, I need to extend the cheks and make sure file has same or less rights, but not more.

    I agree people need to have more secure setup, but a lot of ftp servers don’t allow remove write access to files for file owner, so people won’t be able to make those rights and get A grade.

    For now all checks are done according to wordpress article. So you can checkout that article.
