 * I have just changed themes and tried to install several WP caching plugins.
 * Each time I try and activate the plugin I get the following error message
 * Error: Your cache directory (/home4/gotugetme/public_html/wp-content) did not
   exist and couldn’t be created by the web server. Check /home4/gotugetme/public_html/
   wp-content permissions.
 * Help please!

 * Hey Tony,
    As per the error you are getting, you may need to check what permissions
   you folder wp-content has – it should be set on 755 and this is the path to that
   particular folder in your File Manager >>/home4/gotugetme/public_html/wp-content.
   Hope this will help fixing the error!
