Isn’t it supposed to use the parent directory’s permissions? No, according to this file permissions n creation are set by apache. You will need to look at your apache config and OS settings to find the reason and fix it. It it might be that your umask parameter is 003 instead of 002.
The Formidable Form plugin seems to ignore database errors in many places in the code. Setting WP_DEBUG to true uncovered that the forms are not created because some tables are missing (no indication is given to the user). Further investigation has shown that the tables fail to create when the plugin is activated (no indication … Read more
Your local site is on a Mac, which uses a different users and groups system than a production (linux) environment. I would recommend that you change the permissions to what they should be on the local dev environment to what they should be before you upload them to a production/QA environment. Please refer to this … Read more
Problem solved. The issue was tedious WordPress settings oversight. Completely forgot to check uploads folder location after server migration; check for upload folder setting under Settings/Media.
Ok, I found the permission read private posts so I revoked that privilege to the reader group and marked the articles I didn’t want them to see as private. Doing any sort of permissions in WordPress feels kind of hacky, but this is a much better solution than modifying source code.
If you’ve got access to the mysql database, you can change the grant tables directly: UPDATE mysql.user SET Host=”%” WHERE Host=”localhost” AND User=”username”; …and an analogous UPDATE-statement to change it back.

This is more server config question than WordPress. Make sure the www-data group has write permissions in the directory you’re running WordPress from. Assuming it’s in /var/www/ then sudo chmod -R g+rwxs /var/www/ should do the trick.
You’re using the admin_init hook to add menus – use admin_menu instead. The init hook runs early enough for wp-admin/menu.php to add it to the sidebar menu, but not for the plugin page loading in wp-admin/admin.php In other words, when you actually try to load the plugin page, your menu code hasn’t fired and WordPress … Read more
If you care about security you should not install themes and plugins from the wordpress admin. Either install them by uploading via FTP or use WP-CLI for that. There is just no way to change file owners when the script is running in the context of the web server, therefor the only way to maintain … Read more
