 * I have just installed the wp-dbmanager, as im following a Webinar replay, and
   on the dashboard now it says this which ive copied and pasted for you :
 * Your backup folder is NOT writable
    To correct this issue, make the folder /home2/
   poppies/public_html/wp-content/backup-db writable. Your backup folder MIGHT be
   visible to the public To correct this issue, move the file from /home2/poppies/
   public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-dbmanager/htaccess.txt to /home2/poppies/public_html/
   wp-content/backup-db/.htaccess To correct this issue, move the file from /home2/
   poppies/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-dbmanager/index.php to /home2/poppies/
   public_html/wp-content/backup-db/index.php Click here to let WP-DBManager try
   to fix it Plugin activated.
 * what does this mean?
    do i have to act on this? if so all of it? or which bit
   and how please? this is extremely frustrating for a newbie like me who is trying
   to follow this webinar replay, and when i told them they said:
 * not our product so we can’t really offer support for
    it, this issue seems like
   a standard file permission setting issue.
 * What you will need to do is to go to those folders and change the file
    permissions
   to make them writable: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions](https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions)
   If you are not familiar with how to do this the best thing would be to contact
   your host and ask them to change the file permissions for those folders.
 * so my other question is , is it wordpress that can help me? or hostgators.com,
   my host site ??? sorry im so confused
