A Weblog
I am standing as an independent candidate for election to the Town Council in the May elections. Having spent a lot of time walking around Moreton and enjoying the beauty of this part of the Cotswolds, I’ve become distinctly aware of some of the challenges it now faces as we come out of this latest (last?) lockdown, and rather than just point them out or moan, I felt I could help do something about it.

I successfully moved the cache folder for the Hummingbird WordPress plugin, but you can do it for any other plugin or cache folder, such as wp-cache folder or W3 Total Cache plugin etc. The following commands were used on a debian server so the process should be similar for Ubuntu but may vary for other Linux distros.
