 * Hello, I need help with a part of the configuration, exactly with the Cache Location
   part, a route appears automatically assigned to me but it tells me this in point
   5…
 * The plugin has detected a naked directory index on the cache directory, which
   would allow visitors to view the cache files directly and could expose private
   posts. Index.html files have been added in home directories, but unless directory
   indexes are disabled, it is probably best to cache files outside of the web root
   of /xxxxx/xxxxxxxxx/domains/indieloopers.com/public_html/
 * I suppose this is bad, what you tell me for security issues, right? Could you
   help me?

 * This is very bad. If you can’t disable that yourself you should contact your 
   hosting support who can help you disable it.

 * Hello, I already contacted my hosting and they changed the route and they told
   me that it is already protected, but the message keeps appearing, is it a warning
   that always comes out or should it disappear? is this what i mean …
 * 1. You must enter the full path to the directory.
    2. If the directory does not
   exist, it will be created. Please make sure that your server user has write permission
   to the parent directory. The parent directory must exist. 3. If the new cache
   directory does not exist, it will be created and the contents of the old cache
   directory will be moved there. Otherwise, the old cache directory will be left
   where it is. 4. Submit a blank entry to be set to the default directory, WP_CONTENT_DIR./
   cache/. 5. The plugin has detected a bare directory index on the cache directory,
   which would allow visitors to view the cache files directly and could expose 
   private posts. Index.html files have been added to main directories, but unless
   directory indexes are disabled, it is probably best to cache files outside of
   the /xxxxx/xxxxxxxx/domains/indieloopers.com/public_html/

 * As long as you’re not seeing the “Your server is configured to show files and
   directories, which may expose sensitive data such as login cookies…” notice I
   think you can ignore that, especially if your hosting provider has moved the 
   cache directory somewhere else. Maybe there’s a bug I haven’t come across before
   there.

 * I am having problems with an acquaintance who is dedicating himself to hacking
   the web, I have put security and I have put several plugins to change the access
   of the url, even so this guy is dedicated to sending me messages by writing me
   the access url that I have changed, as if saying That he is very clever and even
   if I change it, he finds out, could it be because of that cache failure? is that
   as the message indicates that anyone can see the files, I have believed that 
   it could be the fault I have, I have already tried several plugins for it and
   in both I find the access url that changes.

 * If you’re having problems like that I don’t think this plugin can help you. I
   don’t understand what your access url is. Maybe this person has hacked your computer
   and sees everything you type so they can get this access url that way? Maybe 
   they brute force your website, trying all sorts of URLs. Maybe they have an account
   on the website so they can see everything that goes on there?
