Issue File Permissions reverting after being changed

[lightingman2003]

Server operating system version

Ubuntu 22.04.1

Plesk version and microupdate number

Plesk Obsidian 18.0.79 Update #2

We have an issue where 3 files are set with wierd file permissions (--w------- / 200), whenever we run chmod to add read permission into 644, chmod accepts the command and appears to run. However, if we then immediately list the files, the wrong permissions are still showing up. These are standard *.jpg file extensions, so we're at a loss as to why

This issue is causing a permissions issue when our backup runs, in that these files are being excluded from the backup set as the system obviously doesnt have the permission to read the file. Granted this is only a warning, and will probably only exlude the 3 affected files.

The files belong inside a WordPress Content upload folder, under a WordPress 7.0.1, PHP 8.3.32 for the Formidable Plugin (v.6.32). Reading back, there was an issue that was fixed in v6.30.2 of the Formidable Plugin related to file permissions: Formidable Forms v6.30.2 - Formidable Forms

Has anyone experienced issues like this, and can advise of a way to set the permissions once and for all?

Thanks

This sounds like an issue with the plugin again, or at least with one of the plugins. You can confirm if that's the case by disabling the plugin and test.

In fact, if you have other plugins installed, disable them all, change the permissions back, and then test and turn back on each plugin one at a time and see which one is triggering it to change to write only.
