 * Hello,
 * Thank you for this plugin, it’s making my site faster,
 * I would like to use the fallback page cache option, when I try to activate it
   I see this message ‘The file wp-config.php is not writable. Please add write 
   permission to activate the fallback cache.’
 * My host doesn’t allow this, but I am able to add lines of code by myself manually.
 * Can you help on this, what should I add?
 * Thanks
    Leurent

 * Hi [@leurent](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leurent/),
    This is odd but
   to use the fallback cache you just need to add this following line after the 
   starting `<?php` tag:
 * `define('WP_CACHE', true); // Added by WP Cloudflare Super Page Cache`
 * And you will be able to use the fallback disk cache.
