Plugin updates – need to re-save permalinks and clear cache every time

Hi

I’ve been using a workaround for over a year, and I was wondering if there was a way that I can set things up on my website http://www.hibiscusmassage.com, without having to go through this.

I was advised to update my plugins, then go to Settings > Permalinks and “Save Changes”, then purge all caches so that all the pages display properly. If I do not do this, filler pages appear in place of my actual website pages.

The plugin page has the following alerts flagged in red:

FTP credentials don’t allow to write to file /homepages/12/d250206909/htdocs/app251497432/.htaccess

W3 Total Cache Error: Files and directories could not be automatically created to complete the installation.

Please execute commands manually
or use FTP form to allow W3 Total Cache make it automatically.

The required directives for fancy permalinks could not be detected, please confirm they are available: Creating and editing

Any ideas how to fix this please?

Thanks in advance, Tanya
