   Your wp-content directory is NOT writable!

   That pretty much sums up the problem.

   Thank you whooami.
   I read this and did not understand it.
   I reread it and do not understand it.
   I'm an idiot.
   Any way to help in English?
   I need a step-by-step as I am a beginner and don't read code or know anything technical.
   Thank you for your help, Kristin

   you need to make the directory wp-content/ writable.

   that means you need to chnage the permissions on it.

   changing permissions == chmod

   does that help?

   I do not use that plugin, so I dont know exactly what permissions are required, Im guessing its the dreaded 777 though.

   Read the above then go back and re-read that page keeping in mind what little ive said here :)

   Thats a good page to get to know intimately, theres a lot of info, but its good info and necessary.
