    Hi, after installing and setting the W3T plugin I get this message in the top of my dashboard:

    /var/www/jakob-koch.dk/public_html/wp-content is write-able. When finished installing the plugin, change the permissions back to the default: chmod 755 /var/www/jakob-koch.dk/public_html/wp-content. Permissions are currently 775.

    Is this a serious error? And what am I supposed to do to change the permissions back to the default?

    Hope you can help me out

    Regards

    Hello @intuitivweb,

    W3 Total Cache needs the write permission to your wp-content to complete the installation. In order to be able to finish W3 Total cache needs the permissions to be set to 755.
    This is what the notification is telling you and it appears that 755 was your default permission to wp-content.
    This is not the error message so you can simply hide this message.
    You can find out more about the file permissions here.
