I ALWAYS look for the changelog notes of any plugin and new WP versions. Sometimes the risk to update does not worth it. If it is something critical, or related to my server setup I update as soon as possible. If not I usually wait for a version with bigger changes.

It’s really strange: usually PHP runs as CGI/FastCGI or Apache module, so it’s a real unix user. When a unix user create a directory permission are set (or should be set) so that such user can create files inside that folder. I’m not expert maybe PHP can be configured to create directory with unusual permission, but it is a big problem: when you auto uodate wordpress delete the plugin directory and recreate it so on each update the problem will be back again.

What folder you set to 777? wp-content/plugins or wp-content/plugins/hyper-cache or wp-content/plugins/hyper-cache/cache???

Thanks for posting about the new version(s).

I only said something about the chmod thing cause I installed the new hypercache version on my dedicated server trough automatic updates and i had this issue.
I do have to set the the plugins folder’s chmod to 777 that doesn’t mean that it’s recursive…

When I have the time (and usually it’s hard for me to solve bugs, test them, commit new versions to help people as quickly as possible in my spare time) i try to write a version note on this blog. All posts about Hyper Cache versions are tagged and, as written in the plugin page, can be found here: http://www.satollo.net/tag/hyper-cache-versions.

About the CHMOD 777, usually people update the plugin with the automatic update function of WordPress: that grants the folders are created by PHP with its running user and with that user’s permissions. So, usually, there is no problem. Ok, I’ll add a note in the hyper cache page, even if I know no one will read it or insert better tests on hyper cache installation.

Ok so first off great plugin.

Wanted to say you might want to add a check for chmod 777 on the cache directory, or a notice some where that this is needed.
It’s obvious that is would be, but not for every one.
(just to help people who don’t understand why the plugin isn’t working)

On another note, i really like the fact that you keep supporting this plugin, that is in my opinion the best caching plugin available. I does one thing and it does it well.

Aditionnaly it works with ask apache crazy cache and db cache reloaded just brilliant.

Any way i’m getting irritated that there is no CHANGELOG, even a note in the readme would be appreciated.

I know i have no right to request this, but i’d like to know what changes i’m commiting to when doing an update.

Thanks again for a great plugin. But please at least write a line somewhere about what you’re changing. If i mist it please direct me where to find it.
