Typically, all files should be owned by your user (ftp) account on your web server, and should be writable by that account.
-
On shared hosts, files should never be owned by the webserver process itself (sometimes this is www, or apache, or nobody user).

- Go to the main directory of WordPress
- Enter
chmod -v 666 .htaccess
If you use Permalinks you should also change permissions of .htaccess to make sure that WordPress can update it when you change settings such as adding a new page, redirect, category, etc.. which requires updating the .htaccess file when mod_rewrite Permalinks are being used.

If WordPress is running as the FTP account, that account needs to have write access, i.e., be the owner of the files, or belong to a group that has write access. In the latter case, that would mean permissions are set more permissively than default (for example, 775 rather than 755 for folders, and 664 instead of 644).

ally, all core WordPress files should be writable only by your user account
-
uire the /wp-content/ f
-
The .htaccess file is one of the files that is accessed by the owner of the process running the server. So if you set the permissions too low, then your server won't be able to access the file and will cause an error.

Stephan MillerWordpress file permissions - You don't need to know these if you use Fantastico or a one click install process for Wordpress. But if you are installing Wordpress manually, knowing these settings can be the difference between being able to do everything from changing file rewrites, installing plugins and themes and doing automatic updates from within the Wordpress admin and doing it the old fashioned way with FTP.

Pali MadraWhat are the rights that are needed specially in the case where you want to use the online theme editor in admin
-
If you want to use the built-in theme editor, all files need to be group writable. Try using it before modifying file permissions, it should work.
