       Hi there,
   
       I like to activate your pluging; without any success so far.
   
       In the Overview I get:
   
       Status: Not enabled
       Filesystem: Not writeable
       Redis: Reachable
   
       Which part do I need to make writeable? The whole /wp-content folder ? /wp-content/cache ? Or /wp-content/cache/redis ?
       (see: Filesystem: Object cache file doesn’t exist.)
   
       In Diagnostics:
   
       Status: Not enabled
       Client: relay
       Drop-in: Not installed
       Disabled: No
       PhpRedis: 5.3.7

 * Filesystem access to `/wp-content` is recommended, but not necessary. You can
   copy the `object-cache.php` file yourself if you know what you’re doing.

 * Do you mean placing a copy of object-cache.php (out of the /includes map) in /
   wp-content? That gives a critical error.

 * Enabling the plugin with wp-cli, also gives a critical error.

 * If you want things to be easier, you can make `wp-contents/` writeable to PHP.
 * It would be helpful if you post the critical error.
 * Did you follow the [installation instructions](https://github.com/rhubarbgroup/redis-cache/blob/develop/INSTALL.md)?
