 * Hello
 * We are trying to use a custom cache folder
 * Have added the below snippet before the # BEGIN WordPress section in our .htaccess
   file, as described here: [https://www.keycdn.com/support/wordpress-cache-enabler-plugin](https://www.keycdn.com/support/wordpress-cache-enabler-plugin)
 * Flushed all server caches etc. but the default folder ( cache-enabler ) is still
   created and the custom folder is not created.
 * Test environment Debian 10/Buster, Apache 2.4.38, PHP 7.4.23
 * Many thanks
 *     ```

 * The plugin itself is what creates the directories that store the cached pages.
   When using the advanced configuration the server will just try to find and deliver
   them.
 * Support for overriding this actually just came out in the 1.8 branch, so great
   timing. 🙂 To do this you will need to define the `CACHE_ENABLER_CACHE_DIR` constant,
   like in your `wp-config.php` file (before WordPress sets up). For example:
 *     ```
       define( 'CACHE_ENABLER_CACHE_DIR', '/your/path/to/wp-content/cache/custom-folder' );
       ```
   
 *     ```
       define( 'CACHE_ENABLER_CACHE_DIR', ABSPATH . 'wp-content/cache/custom-folder' );
       ```
   
 * It will need to be the full path and can be any directory that is writable. Do
   not include a trailing slash. If using the `ABSPATH` constant it has a trailing
   slash, so what follows doesn’t need a leading slash.
 * I will be adding some documentation for the new constants here shortly.
