   What do I do because of this warning? Make what exactly, read only?

   WARNING! /home2/rareexc/public_html/rootdomain/ is writable. Please make it readonly after your page is generated as this is a security risk.

   folders chmod 755
   files chmod 644
   for security

   samboll,

   That means WP Super Cache will no longer work right?

   I am very concerned about the number of security issues related with this plugin. I had to lower the security of several files and folders to get it to work.

   After about the fifth one I didn't think it was worth the risk.

   Am I being overly precasutious?

   Warning! /home/content/x/x/x/xxxxxxxx/html/ is writable.

   yea, thats mine. I looked at the root folder ( / )and permissions are literally "xxx" which filezilla is telling me

   you can use an x at any position to keep the permissions the original files have

   so do we still go ahead chmod the entire folder, and then chmod 644 to all the loose files in that folder? or which folder?
