Hello Word Press users.

I have resolved the issue and implemented the changes on all my sites.

“Issue: Warning: unlink(/tmp/gad_cache_acb4327e27fb243b18900c41c1817a18.dat) [function.unlink]: Operation not permitted in /home1/jiehanor/public_html/wp-content/plugins/google-analytics-dashboard/simplefilecache.php on line 85”

The issue is permissions based with regards to the /tmp directory with hosted websites in which you are not the web server administrator.

The simplefilecache.php file tries to access the /tmp directory and delete / modify tmp files.

If you own your linux server and are the root admin run CHMOD permissions to 0777 on the /tmp directory.

If you are like me and are in a dedicated, semi-dedicated or shared hosting environment the hosting company will not give you access to this directory. The end result is you will need to create your own tmp directory at the root of your hosting account and then modify simplefilecache.php in 14 locations.

You will need to search and replace:
sys_get_temp_dir()

with

‘/SITEPATH/db_tmp’

Be sure to replace SITEPATH with your hosting path on the server (ie. ‘/public_html/YOUR.COM/db_tmp’) etc.

If you are in doubt consult your Web Designer, WordPress or Technology Consulting Company.

If you have questions feel free to contact my company and myself or one of my engineers can assist.

Regards
Don
