Thanks ClaytonJames!

Yeah, I did find that installing manually was what would be needed but didn’t realize that it would always be required. But that’s no big deal.

As for the very last part of your reply:

you should be able to change the wp-content directory permissions back to 0755.

Is that what I want to do, change the permissions back? IOW will I need to? I’m of the old school, “Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.”

Wondering if it will foul up my files if I don’t change them back before transferring to my site. Or if I need to leave them set because the permissions need to stay put.

Thanks for the help. Grabbing BatChmod now.

I will answer my own question:

I am hosting with GoDaddy and called them to see if that file existed and they said it didn’t. I also found a post in this forum that said to do something to the Settings>Permalinks in WP. The post wasn’t specific. But what I did was change the Permalinks settings while I had a FTP client window open. As I saved that permalink setting, I saw a .htaccess file created in my directory.

Once that happened I thought I still might need to edit the file but nope. Just returned to the WP Super Cache Manager page and saw that the message had changed. I needed to click the button to update and it all turned a lovely shade of green.

Now I must move on to all the other settings I don’t understand. But that’s another search in this forum and a possible post. Good luck to you all.
