Wordpress new folder and file permissions are not correct

I have read through a bunch of sites, but I could only find the right permission to set to existing files and folders, but I could not find anything related to the new files and folders to be created.

Whenever I create a new file or folder they will be created with permissions 660 and 770, so some of the contents are not accessible. For example if I install a plugin, it will be installed with 770 and 660 permissions, so I get a 403 error through the javascript console for all assets of the plugin.

Is there a way/plugin, to adjust persmissions to the files and folders to be created in the future, not just the existing ones?

Please note:

  • I don't have SSH access (or any access, but FTP) to the hosting server.
  • Disabling all themes & plugins doesn't solve the problem.
Solution

  • Adding these two lines to the wp-config.php file solved the problem:

    define('FS_CHMOD_FILE', 0644);
define('FS_CHMOD_DIR', 0755);
