We’ve added a powerful new control to your Pressable dashboard: PHP File System Permissions.
Previously only available by contacting our amazing support team, this feature is now available to adjust on demand in your MyPressable Control Panel—giving you more control over how PHP interacts with your site’s filesystem.
You can now choose from three permission modes:
- rw (read/write) – The default, allowing PHP to read and write freely.
- ro (read-only) – Great for situations like manual site recovery or when you want to lock down your site’s file system.
- loggedin – A smart middle-ground: only logged-in, authorized PHP requests can write. Ideal for enhancing security while keeping things like plugin and theme updates working smoothly.
Whether you’re cleaning up a compromised site, hardening your security posture, or just want more fine-grained control—this update gives you the flexibility to do it.
You’ll find this option in your site’s settings, and it’s also available via our API for full automation support.
Consider it one more switch flipped in your favor. We hope you find it helpful!
