How To CHMOD the cache folder

Posted by Magnus Jepson on 04 Oct 08

In order for the image resizer to be able to write resized images to the wp-content/themes/theme-name/cache/ folder you have to CHMOD the cache folder within your theme folder. CHMOD 777 (or 755 depending on your server) means simply setting write permission so the script is able to write.

If you know how to FTP the theme to your WordPress themes folder, it should be very easy to right click the cache folder and set permission to 777.Search the help file in your FTP program or try to google it (ex. CuteFTP how to chmod). There are loads of tutorials available. Here are some tutorials to help you out:

SmartFTP is a free FTP program and it is very easy to do it there:
