 * I receive this error in the backend:
 * “Special Recent Posts FREE Warning! The Cache folder is not writable. In order
   to use caching functionality you have to set the correct writing permissions 
   on special-recent-posts/cache/ folder. E.G: 0755 or 0775”
 * Tried with 755 and 775… The error message is still there.
 * Things seems to be working. How can I dismiss this message?
