MySQL user permissions on local directories

Hello :beergrin. I installed PureFTPd and followed this guide on virtual users with MySQL. The user I added is going to be for a website developer. I have chrooted his virtual user into his WordPress directory. However, he does not have permissions to modify existing files unless I change the entire folder and files to 777.

I assume that since it is a virtual user, I cant add him to a group with permissions. I'm stumped. :(

At the moment, the entire WordPress directory and all files inside are 777 but before we go live with the site, it needs to be secured a bit. Take a look at the guide I linked and let me know what you think. :)
