 * Hi Support,
 * Sometimes I have faced the permission issue on my cache directory like this (
   We are getting this error ( Autoptimize cannot write to the cache directory (/
   wp-content/cache/autoptimize/1/) Need to know how we can fix this issue, I have
   already given the writable permission on this directory but this issue comes 
   anytime. So can you let me know why this type of issue comes or what I can do
   to prevent this issue ?

 * afraid I don’t have a solid answer on this one avnishsharma; normally when AO
   has write access all should be fine really. the fact sometimes it works and then
   it does not any more, seems to indicate changes at OS level; owner or group under
   which the PHP process runs or changes being made to the permission you set?
