• The "temporary files location folder" is a very important option for WassUp because it tells to WassUp where store the php session files for visitors who doesn't accept cookies. If your session path in not correctly setup you could encounter some errors because WassUp cannot save user sessions. If you have problems try to do the following step:
  1. create a "tmp" folder under your blog's root directory
  2. change the permissions to this "tmp" folder to read/write for everybody (chmod 777 tmp)
  3. set the absolute path to the "tmp" folder on "Temporary files location folder" option
  4. save settings
• The other options help you to play with your WassUp database table. This table could grows a lot (especially with popular blogs) and you could have some limit in your web hosting so you can change these options to be able to manage the table.
  • by selecting the "alert me" checkbox WassUp will send you an email when the tables will reach the size (in Megabytes) you set
  • the "empty table" checkbox completely pure the WassUp database table, so take care of this option (it isn't undoable)
  • you could choose to delete automatically or manually old records to prevent an excessive growth of the table.
