@vmarko it is https://www.franciscanmedia.org/
Error messages:
1.) FTP credentials don’t allow to write to file – I have manually added the line of code to the wp-config file
2.) W3 Total Cache Error: Files and directories could not be automatically created to complete the installation.
Please execute commands manuallyor use FTP form to allow W3 Total Cachemake it automatically. – This constantly pops up during the wizard, I am assuming because it is looking for the .htaccess file to make changes to, but it’s a windows system so I don’t have an .htaccess file.
3.) Could not update configuration. Please reload the page to try again or click skip button to abort the setup guide.

Hello @jtank2
This is not just for .htaccess file. You should allow the W3TC to have write permissions files 644 and folders 755
W3TC needs to create a cache folder in /wp-config/ and other files that will be in that cache folder, along with the drop-in files (depending on a configuration) and the w3tc-config folder with he configuration file also in wp-content.
Please make sure to add permissions to those files/folders.
Thanks!
