Body: <p>My website stopped working due to a CiviCRM problem, all I see is:
  &quot;CiviCRM does not have permission to write temp files in ...wp/wp-content/uploads/civicrm/templates_c/en_US/,exiting&quot;</p>
  <p>My hosting service may have recently updated to php 7.4.
  Seeing old solutions to this problem, I deleted all the folders in wp/wp-content/uploads/civicrm/templates_c/en_US/
  but left .htaccess unchanged.
  That did not solve the problem.
  Should I delete everything in .../uploads/civicrm/templates_c/
  Has anybody had this problem and fixed it?</p>

Comments.Text: You can delete everything under `.../uploads/civicrm/templates_c/ `  Check the permissions look correct to allow the user running the webserver to create files, but you might need to check with your hosting service.
