I just rebuilt a clients site and moved it over to his existing cpanel when I built it on my dev site all permissions were good  using fix permissions..  Now that I moved it over to where his old site was it won't change permissions..    these are all on the same WHM..  I read the fix for this  but I don't have any issues with any other J4 sites..

Hello,

please note that the "fix permissions" button is not a magic wand. If permissions and ownership are badly configured, there's a chance that you are not even allowed to change the permissions.

Usually there's a feature inside your hosting Control Panel to reset the permissions of all the files, you can give it a try or contact hosting support.

Thank You, yea my host did it very simply.  They think maybe It was a cache issue..  haven't had the problem on new builds.. just had it on my first rebuild from one c-panel to another..   We'll see what happens next time.
