 * Hi,
 * When enabling the plugin AutoOptimize, I get the warning: “Autoptimize cannot
   write to the cache directory (/home/360579.cloudwaysapps.com/qberexzmsu/public_html/
   wp-content/cache/autoptimize/), please fix to enable CSS/ JS optimization!”
 * I have pointed the website to my domain “profuzionstudio.com”. Can someone tell
   me where I need to clarify this for AutoOptimize?
 * thank you,
    Lowell
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fautooptimize-cannot-write-to-the-cache-directory%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * this is not related to the domain, but to the filesystem on the server, where
   Autoptimize needs to be able to write files to `wp-content/cache/autoptimize`.
   to make that so, you’ll need to access the files with sftp or install a file 
   manager plugin and adapt filesystems permissions (see [https://wordpress.org/support/article/changing-file-permissions/](https://wordpress.org/support/article/changing-file-permissions/)
   for info) to ensure the PHP-process under which Autoptimize runs can write to`
   wp-content/cache/autoptimize`.
 * hope this helps,
    frank
