    I tried to upgrade and got this message:

    “Plugin failed to reactivate due to a fatal error.

    Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘FileOperationException’ with message ‘/home/skymania/public_html/wp/wp-content/w3tc-config/master.php could not be created, please run following command:

    But trying to delete the plugin gives this: W3 Total Cache Error: some files appear to be missing or out of place. Please re-install plugin or remove /home/skymania/public_html/wp/wp-content/db.php.

    Not sure what to do. I’m concerned that so many people are reporting the plug-in as broken.

    Solution:

    Go to /wp-content/plugins/w3-total-cache/inc/functions/
    Look for activation.php and
    Open it in code editor through your Cpanel or FTP access.

    At beginning of line no. 127 type: /* and at the end type */

    it looks like –

    /*throw new FileOperationException($error, ‘read’, ‘file’, $path);*/

    Save the file.

    Now you can login to dashboard, deactivate w3 total cache plugin.

    Now remove the /* and */ you added before,
    save the file again.

    Go to dashboard activate plugin and you’re good to go

    Thanks xgenblogger – great stuff: Fixed my issue. It would be great if someone who knows could explain how the problem came to exist in the first place.

    @peter

    Not sure but i think it happened because while updating plugin it failed to properly activate itself therefor fatal error occurred. What we have done is manually activated plugin.

    That’s all i know, wordpress developer or any geek can explain it well.
