Checking the correct operation of the plugin after restricting rights

    Hello!
    I mistakenly restricted the permissions of an already configured plugin to the directory:

    /wp-content/

    I fixed my mistake – I granted the rights, the plugin worked again, but there are questions:

    1. After restoring rights, all plugin settings remain unchanged? At first glance, this is true (I checked it in the plugin menu, in .htaccess), but to be sure, I decided to ask about it here.
    2. On the “Easy Settings” settings page, I do not have a “Check” button to check that the main page caching is working correctly. Tell me, is everyone like this now? (I haven’t touched the plugin for many years and I don’t know if the set of options in it has changed.)
    3. Is it possible to check through the browser that caching is working properly?

    1. Yes. Settings should be the same.
    2. If you have caching enabled there should be a “Test Cache” button.
    3. Otherwise, make sure the timestamp is enabled on the Debug settings page, then load a page, view the source and the timestamp will be at the bottom of the page. Now, reload the page and the timestamp should be the same. You can also enable the debug log for your own IP and it will show you the page being served from cache.

    @donncha, thanks for the quick and informative response.

    1. Thank you for providing protection from user errors.
    2. Yes, yes, I looked carefully – it is inactive, that is, it was, but I did not notice it. Sorry for misleading.
    3. Indeed, the timestamp was disabled for me … I turned it on and the “Check” button became active. The first check failed:

    Then I cleared the previously created cache and checked again – the check was successful (the timestamps match). Using Chrome DevTools, I made sure that the cached version is given by the server and that means everything is OK.
    Thank you for helping me figure it out and find the error! Thank you very much!
    The only thing that is still not clear to me is how the display of the timestamp works? Is there somewhere I can read more about this? During the check – I saw it, looking through the code of the page. But as soon as I left the admin panel, I don’t see it in the code. Is that how it should be?
    And yet, as far as I understand, without an active “time stamp”, the cache does not work correctly? Those. is it not only a debugging tool but also a required option?

    Look in the source code of the plugin. It’s all there. ??

    The timestamp is inserted when the cached page is generated. So it will always be the same as long as the cached page is served. It’s only a debugging tool.
