Need help regarding wordpress wp-o-matic plugin.

After succesfully adding and activating the wp-o-matic plugin to my blog the problem i am fascing is that it does not work.

After i add a campaing and press submit it gives me the following error:

Image cache path /home/life/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache is not writable!

I tried checking the plugin/wp-o-matic folder but i dont see any file like cache there.

I think that it does not work cos the cache file isant there? How do i add this file there now?

Or what do i do o that it starts working fine?

 

Logon to your server with your FTP Client, navigate to the wp-o-matic folder. If there isn't a folder called cache, create one. Once its been created, you need to ensure that it has write permissions enabled. With most FTP clients, you can right-click on the folder and select 'permissions' or 'properties': If it gives you some tick-boxes makes sure all the 'write' ones are ticked. If it shows you a 3 digit code, set the code to '777'.

Hope that helps.

 

Ya thanks dude got it right. By the way wow! great to see that this is your first pos on this forum. Welcome and Great going.

One more thing i would like to clear is is it safe to set it to 777. I heard that its a bit unsafe and attract lots of spam. Is it?

 

I don't think so really. All you folders and files will be within a 'user' folder set with permissions of 111 on your server (at least they should be) so any hacker would have to get through that.

(Which, if they really really wanted to do, they probably could. But there isn't much that can protect you from a hacker who really really wants to do something)

So, in short, you should be fine.

 

Hey yeahdisk, thanks. That tip is exactly what I was just searching the net for! Worked.

Hello - quick related question from an absolute noob: I'm going to install wp-o-matic in my ...public_html/wp-content/plugins directory. I've unzipped the wp-o-matic download and now see the wp-o-matic file folder. Do I just drag the whole file folder into above directory - or do I need to open the file folder and ftp all files I can find separately? If the latter: can you please specify which files I need to ftp (if not all)?

Any help appreciated as I'm obviously a total beginner!

 

if you use latest wordpress, you can go to
- plugins > add new from side panel or
- scroll to very bottom after clicking plugins and choose "Plugin Browser/Installer", then search by typing tin wp-o-matic and it'll help you auto install

and to answer your question, yes. upload the whole folder to wp-content/plugins through ftp. But thats after you unzip the folder. But make sure you are uploading the right inner folder because sometimes unzipping give you multiple folders nested before reaching to the last inner folder. You will know if it's last main folder if there're no more same folder name within.

Ex: folder1 > folder1 > folder1 > xcontents

after uploading, go to wordpress admin, plugins and activate.

 

You need to extract the zipped the folder and drag the complete folder under the plugins folder.

/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic

You don't have to place the files separately, just copy the complete folder.

Thanks,

 

Six minutes after I posted the question I already had a reply! Thanks so much to both of you - appreciate your help!
