HTML Validity Test Fails if PHP User Does Not Have Write Permissions

[tedmasterweb]

Summary

HTML Validation fails when the PHP user does not have write access to the plugin's folder (which is a common scenario on secure servers).

Preconditions

• Ratify is installed on a system where PHP does not have write permissions (either in total or for just the plugins folder).

Steps to Reproduce

1. Run the plugin (or refresh the cache)

Expected Result

• HTML Validation runs successfully and the HTML Validation test shows normal output

Actual Result

• HTML Validation fails to run and the test shows "There was an error trying to validate the home page HTML"

Workaround

• Make the Ratify Storage folder writeable (not recommended).
