   Hi,

   I'm about to move to a new host, & W3TC is giving me red warning in WP admin stating I need to CHMOD 777:

   /wp-content/w3-total-cache-config.php
   /wp-content/w3tc/pgcache/.htaccess
   /.htaccess

   It seems like I need to leave these files with CHMOD 777. Is this safe? Or am I supposed to make the changes, save my W3TC settings & change permissions back to 644?

   Thanks,
   -David

   You don't want anything at 777 especially config files and .htaccess

   .htaccess should be set to 644 and others can be at 755

   Thanks,

   I figured. It turned out to be some other permissions issue, so I did not need to chmod to 777. I kept it at 644 & 755.
