 * I updated wp-config.php with the following code:
 *     ```
       /** Enable W3 Total Cache */
       define('WP_CACHE', true); // Added by W3 Total Cache
       ```
   
 * But I still get this error:
 *     ```
       W3 Total Cache Error: Files and directories could not be automatically created to complete the installation.
       ```
   
 * The FTP form doesn’t appear when expanded, so I don’t have any other options.
 * Cheers,
    Oliver
