    Hi,

    I havn′t downloaded and installed the plugin yet, so this is a pre-install question. I′ve read that when I use the option HDD Cache for caching, it is necesary to create a new folder in wp-content named cache with folder permissions set to 777.

    Now, in my wp-content folder there is already a folder called cache and it contains another folder for my wpml plugin. Its rights are set to 755.

    My question: can I use this folder, changing its permissions to 777, or can there be any conflict with wpml?

    Thanks in advance

    Peter

  • Hi @peterkuwi,

    Cachify stores its data in a subdirectory wp-content/cache/cachify.

    The cache directory must be readable and writable by the user running the PHP process and readble by the user running the webserver (if different). This should be the case already, otherwise several WP functions would complain.

    Cachify creates the necessary structure during the installation. There should be no need to grant extended permissions manually (777 is most likely unnecessarily high, if the server is well configured, 77x or 75x is typically fine).

    Cheers,
    Stefan

    Hi @peterkuwi

    @stklcode is correct with his explanations about permissions. 777 shouldn’t be necessary.

    Although we write this in our documentation:
    https://cachify.pluginkollektiv.org/documentation/#hard-disk-hdd-cache

    There is sentence in a parenthesis after that saying:

    later also more restrictive if the functionality of the plugin is not affected

    So if there is a folder with 755 as permission this will suffice for us too. ??

    All the best
    Torsten
