# Backup folder warning issue

 * Hello:
 * I’m getting these warning inside WordPress:
 * Your backup folder is NOT writable
 * To correct this issue, make the folder /home/yrostes/johnnysaturn.com/wp-content/
   backup-db writable.
 * Your backup folder MIGHT be visible to the public
 * To correct this issue, move the file from /home/yrostes/johnnysaturn.com/wp-content/
   plugins/wp-dbmanager/htaccess.txt to /home/yrostes/johnnysaturn.com/wp-content/
   backup-db/.htaccess
 * Unfortunately, when I access the site of Filezilla, I can’t locate /home/yrostes/
   johnnysaturn.com/wp-content/backup-db.
 * Not sure how to handle this. It’s like the folders are hidden or something. I
   was also going to clean out the extra themes, but I can’t find them to erase 
   them on this new version.
 * Help?

 * Please try posting in the plugin authors’ dedicated support area. It looks like
   they are rather efficient in resolving issues related to their plugin. It even
   appears they have an answer for this as the last [FAQ here](http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-dbmanager/faq/).
