 * My site is [http://www.DishragDiaries.com](http://www.DishragDiaries.com).
 * After activating WP Super Cache I got this warning message. Please advise:
    Warning!/
   data/19/2/14/55/2340707/user/2569946/htdocs/WordPress/wp-content is writeable!
 * You should change the permissions on /data/19/2/14/55/2340707/user/2569946/htdocs/
   WordPress/wp-content and make it more restrictive. Use your ftp client, or the
   following command to fix things:chmod 755 /data/19/2/14/55/2340707/user/2569946/
   htdocs/WordPress/wp-content/
 * What do I need to do to fix this? (I am clearly not a techie in any way.)
    THANK
   YOU in advance.

    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions)
 * basically you need to use an ftp client
    or go to your host’s file manager – 
   there should be a way to change the folder permissions

 * Ok. I have verified that permissions to wp-content are 755, yet I still get this
   message. Any ideas?

 * I’m afraid not. It’s something on your server. I wouldn’t worry too much about
   it.
