In reply to: [Site Reviews] [Resolved] It doesn’t show up on my websiteHi there, it turned out to be my fault. I had no idea I had to add it to the website from the Widget area. I enabled it and now I can see everything clearly. Very neat and by far the best plugin out there for general reviews. It’s been a while since I used WordPress so I gotta refresh my knowledge.
Big thank you for the very prompt response.

In reply to: Auto Installer VS Manually InstallingCorrect File and Folder Permissions in WordPress
The correct set of file and folder permissions allows WordPress to create folders and files. The following settings are recommended for most users.755 for all folders and sub-folders.
644 for all files.I am aware of that. My question was different.
I uploaded the wordpress-5.2.2.tar.gz file and unzipped it right on the server within my public_html directory.Once I did that, it asked me for the permissions I want to set. It looked like a global permission set, as in it will be setting the SAME permissions for everything once I click OK. So how can I separate files/folders permissions?
My post described my question very well, if you don’t mind reading it again.
EDIT: I JUST CHECKED THE PERMISSIONS AND THE FOLDERS ARE SET TO 755 AND FILES ARE SET TO 644 AUTOMATICALLY BUT I STILL DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY IT WAS ASKING ME TO SET THE PERMISSIONS FOR EVERYTHING WHEN I WAS UNZIPPING IF IT WENT AHEAD AND CHANGED IT AUTOMATICALLY AFTER THAT.

In reply to: Auto Installer VS Manually InstallingThank you so much for all the great info. I attempted using the method I was recommended on here. I opened Cpanel and accessed File Manager. Once I chose the wordpress-5.2.2.tar.gz file and uploaded it to my /public_html directory in order to unpack it there, it asked me which permissions I would like to set.
Can someone explain to me how can I know for sure the right permissions required whenever I upload anything? This time it sets the following permissions by default: 644
Please view this screenshot: https://prnt.sc/olchlj
I am hosted with SiteGround and I read their tutorial: https://www.siteground.com/tutorials/cpanel/file-permissions/
The problem with their tutorial is that I am not uploading a single file but a zipped file which contains many files and folders.
How do I know which permissions to set?

In reply to: Auto Installer VS Manually InstallingThank you so much for this in-depth explanation. I find all the information provided thus far, extremely helpful. I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the Manual methods of installing wordpress.
One method is to unpack the RAR file and upload it VIA FTP and access the install.php and follow the instructions displayed on the page.
There are a couple more methods I am aware of but I don’t have much experience with.
Can anyone describe the best way (To install it manually)?
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Auto Installer VS Manually InstallingIt can be new and outdated in the sense that it was still a new CMS but after a couple more versions were released, the auto installers weren’t up to date. It was still fairly new, it was still the first 3-4 years of WordPress but many versions were released already. Hope that clears up what I was saying.
Thanks for the information and the tips. So what you said is to get the .tar.gz file instead and use the CPanel tools to unzip it?
The way it says to do it here: Upload and Unzipping .zip and .gz files in cPanel
