 * Hello,
 * since the last update, I have two diagnostic errors involving “Temp dir readable”
   and “Temp dir writeable”.
   Except that I haven’t touched anything and I don’t 
   understand where these errors are coming from… is it possible to get some help?
 * Thanks, have a nice day,

 * Hey [@jeanphilippegrasse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeanphilippegrasse/),
 * thanks for reaching out!
 * You’ve upgraded from a pretty old version of Simply Static, right?
   We don’t store
   the temporary files inside the plugin’s directory since.. 3.0. 😅
 * You can quickly fix that by going to Simply Static -> Settings -> Utilities -
   > Migrate Settings and clicking the button called “Migrate Settings.”
 * It will set the temporary files directory to the new location.
 * You can also change the path manually in Simply Static -> Settings -> Misc ->
   Temporary File Directory.
 * The new default location for these files is in wp-content/uploads/simply-static/
   temp-files/

 * Hello,
 * The error keeps coming, and even if you press the “migrate” button, it still 
   appears…
   And I can’t find the “Misc.” menu…
 * The application is normally up to date (Free: 3.2.5.1/Pro: 1.6.4.1)
