  Hello,
  I need to set write permission for wp-content folder for my staging site. I tried using my SFTP account but I am permitted to set the permission.

  Can you tell me how to change permission?

  Thank you.

  Regards
  Subir

  Why do you want to change those permissions? On the wordpress.com platform, permissions are set as they should be. Changing those permissions sets your site open for hackers.

  I need to use cache plugin. It will always create and delete files and folders. So write permission is important.

  You don’t need a cache plugin on the wordpress.com platform. In fact all cache plugins are incompatible – https://wordpress.com/support/plugins/incompatible-plugins/#caching-plugins
