"There are two ways that you can fix this problem. The first option is to chmod using a command. This is what the plugin suggests that you do. If you have SSH access to your server, ssh in and run the command: chmod 777 WP_DIRECTORY/wp-content where WP_DIRECTORY is the directory that your WordPress blog is installed in. You can also find the exact command that you need to run on that WP Super Cache error page that you see. You will see something similar to this when chmoding with FTP. Make sure that all boxes are checked. The other option is to chmod using an FTP client. This is probably easier for anyone that hasn’t used terminal before. Connect to your FTP server and find your /wp-content/ folder. It’s in the folder where you installed your blog. Now you have to find the option to chmod. In most FTP programs, you have to right click on the folder and then select Chmod. It really depends on your FTP program. On the chmod box that pops up, make sure that it is either set to 777 or that all of the boxes are checked. If there are any special boxes, like there are on the right, just leave those empty." - From <a href="http://gulati.info/2009/01/using-wp-super-cache/" rel="nofollow">http://gulati.info/2009/01/using-wp-super-cache/</a> Sometimes you need to change the write settings of the wp-content folder so it can save the cached files.

Is there something in particular you need to do when activating the plugin on Thesis? I see an alert to change the permissions on wp-content because it is writable but I'm not sure... Thanks for the help man. Hi Jon, maybe I’m a bit late with this comment but I wanted to ask you, since you are using Thesis and recommending WP Super Cache.

I think anything that takes longer than a few seconds could potentially lose someones interest. I would say under 5 seconds is safe, under 3 seconds is safer :) Thanks for the comment @blaineblogger … I think anything that takes longer than a few seconds could potentially lose someones interest.
