 * When I attempt to install the W3 Total Cache, I get the following message:
 * /srv/htdocs/wp-content is write-able. When finished installing the plugin, change
   the permissions back to the default: chmod 755 /srv/htdocs/wp-content. Permissions
   are currently 775.
 * Please tell me step by step how to do this.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fw3-total-cache-plugin-9%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hello [@devin104](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devin104/)
 * Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to help!
   As the notification states,
   the wp-content folder permission is set to 775You can change this in several 
   ways depending on the server access you have. [Cpanel is the simplest way](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/cpanel/change-file-permissions/).
   Please check [this article for more details](https://www.malcare.com/blog/wordpress-file-permissions/)
   on how to change the permissions or check with your host.
 * Thanks!
