 * Hi there,
 * On [this site](http://www.thestrandvet.co.nz/), I’m having problems with the 
   cache directory. I’m getting various messages including “Could not delete any
   cached files. Please manually flush the cache directory.”,
    “Warning: Cache directory/
   nas/content/live/strandvet/wp-content/plugins/bwp-minify/cache/ does not exist
   and can not be created automatically. Please manually create the cache folder
   and make sure that it is writable for Minify to perform more efficiently.” and“
   WP Minify was not able to auto-detect friendly url based on Minify’s current 
   cache directory (/nas/content/live/strandvet/wp-content/plugins/bwp-minify/cache/).”
 * I have double checked and the cache folder does exist and is writable, but the
   only file in there is .htaccess.
 * I tried setting up the cache folder in an alternative location – /nas/content/
   live/strandvet/wp-content/cache/minfy – but have the same issue. I got my host,
   WPEngine to double check and permissions are all OK on those folders.
 * I’ve successfully used bwp minify before, but haven’t struck this. Hope you can
   help.
 * Cheers,
 * Sandra

 * Hi Sandra,
 * Is your previous site (on which BWP Minify was installed successfully) also on
   WPEngine?
 * Are Minify path and Minify document root still having their default values?

 * Hi,
 * Yes, I’ve used BWP Minify successfully on WPEngine before.
 * I’ve changed the document root back to the default value, but it broke the site,
   so have the minify options unchecked in General Settings for now. I have set 
   up a staging site [here](http://strandvet.staging.wpengine.com/) where I’m still
   having the same cache folder issues, but the site is working with JS and CSS 
   minified, so that might be easier for you to troubleshoot.

 * What is the Minify document root on your staging site? What did you set Minify
   document root to on the live site?

 * On the live site it is /nas/content/live/strandvet/wp-content/plugins/bwp-minify/
   cache/ (changing the directory didn’t help)
    Staging site is /nas/content/staging/
   strandvet/wp-content/plugins/bwp-minify/cache/

 * Sorry I meant the WordPress document root found under **Minify library settings**.
