I’m not sure what happened, but some time between last night and tonight, my site went bad. All of a sudden, it didn’t load my page, nor did it give me any errors to clue me in to what was wrong. On my WP admin page, I noticed that there was an error about my Dashboard Options plugin. Upon further investigation, I didn’t find out what was wrong with the plugin, but I did notice that a bunch of my files were set to 644, and the owner was user number 99. I’m not exactly sure what user 99 is, but my guess is that it’s some sort of anonymous user or process that does stuff. The permissions should have been fine, since they now work after putting a fresh installation of 1.5.1.2 on. Yes, I know, I should be upgrading to 1.5.1.3, but I’ll get to that in time. Anyways, just thought I’d share my woes, since something also happened to Grant’s and Al’s blogs the other day, too.
