 * Hello, my friend,
 * In wordpress.com you are required to have a paid plan in order to install plugins,
   correct? Since we have never actually tested the plugin there (it is impossible
   to debug things in wordpress.com) nor in any other Multisite setup (this is mentioned
   in the plugin description page) I would like to ask a few questions:
 * 1. Did this happen after the latest update of the plugin?
 * 2. Did the plugin used to work in the past in wordpress.com for you? \can you
   recall the versions you used?
 * 3. You mentioned that this probably happened to all wordpress.com users. Do you
   have any more information on that because we have no statistics on how many wordpress.
   com users might be using our plugin.
 * 4. Finally, could you please send me the output of the Print debug and Print 
   diagnostics buttons in the plugin settings page?
 * We ‘ll try to do our best, but wordpress.com is a closed platform and does not
   allows for much debugging. Let’s see how it goes.
 * Cheers,
    Takis

 * 1. It is my first time to use this plugin.
    2. So I don’t know about the past
   versions. 3. Nearly 37.5 million websites are hosted on WordPress.com 4. **Print

       But this is probably because the cache has not been accessed yet. 
       After accessing your website from a mobile device the directory should be automatically created.

 * Hello again, my friend,
 * Thank you for sharing this information with us.
 * My best guess is that the Adaptive Images plugin never worked in wordpress.com.
   The wordpress.com as far as I know is a Multisite installation and it is a setup
   that we know we cannot support.
 * Also, looking at the debug information you shared, I see that in wordpress.com
   they are using NginX. The only way to make NginX work with the Adaptive Images
   plugin is to have access to your filesystem and add a special bit of code in 
   the NginX server configuration file (in Apache this can be done automatically
   via the htaccess file).
 * Both of the above issues (Multisite and NginX) are explained in the plugin description
   main page in wordpress.org.
 * So, my best guess is that you are the first one who probably ever tried to install
   it there! 🙂 And since wordpress.com is a closed platform I am afraid there is
   not much we can do to fix or even debug the problem.
 * Sorry about that, wish it could have been different.
 * Cheers,
    Takis
