Read-Only Wordpress filesystem

0	Hi, I'm trying to make some Wordpress and Joomla installations read-only. I'm using these permissions: dirs: 555 files: 444 .htaccess: 404 php config file: 404 Is that correct? Thank you, security wordpress asked 05 Apr '17, 15:59 Frank Herbert 13●5 accept rate: 0%

Yes, those permissions are correct for read-only.

Note, however, that if you set those permissions throughout your application directories, you may have problems uploading media, installing plugins, etc, as those actions require write permissions.
