 * Hi,
 * This is just an FYI. I wanted to try your plugin on localhost to see how it performed.
   After activating it, I get a gray page with the following text:
 * `Path is not valid.`
 * The HTML title of the page is “WordPress > Error”

 * Maybe there is a permission problem in `wp-content/cache/`. Make sure you www
   user has the permission to write in this directory.

 * Same issue for me!
 * No. Its not permission issue. Because I use it with Windows. I can see that there
   is no cache folder in wp-content. Any luck?

 * Have you tried to manually add the cache folder?
 * The Cache Enabler actually requires this directory:
 * `/path/to/your/wpsite/wp-content/cache/cache-enabler/`

 * In `validate_file`
 *     ```
       if (':' == substr( $file, 1, 1 ) )
       		return 2;
       ```
   
 * Does not work on Windows, because the path starts with ‘C:/whatever’

 * Hi, I have same issue. Using wordpress 4.4.2 on windows 7 on xampp (tried on 
   openserver).
 * After log out as admin, can’t see pages and has an error “Path is not valid.”
 * Creating folders “cache/cache-enabler/” doesn’t helps.
 * Is there any solution?
 * Thanks

 * This should now be working in the latest version of Cache Enabler just released.
