FTP into your site (or use whatever file management application your host provides) and rename the wp-content/plugins/w3-total-cache folder to wp-content/plugins/w3-total-cache-old.
esmi,
pardon my ignorance, but I don’t seem to have the file you mention. The closet I can come to it is:
wp-content > plugins > w3-total-cache > wp > content > then there are other files but none for
any guidance?
Thanks in advance
Richard
okay, got it renamed, so that takes that directory out of action. Don’t I have to put a new similar directory in its place?
And I am still getting the error stating…
W3 Total Cache Error: some files appear to be missing or out of place. Please re-install plugin or remove /home/content/r/m/m/rmmiles/html/edit30/wp-content/advanced-cache.php.
sorry for being a pain

Rename the wp-content/advanced-cache.php file to wp-content/advanced-cache.php.old
The following have been accomplished
wp-content/plugins/w3-total-cache folder to wp-content/plugins/w3-total-cache-old
and
Rename the wp-content/advanced-cache.php file to wp-content/advanced-cache.php.old
and the error message I get is:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /home/content/r/m/m/rmmiles/html/edit30/wp-content/plugins/w3-total-cache/lib/W3/Db.php on line 190
REALLY appreciate your help with this!
Richard
Ok – let’s approach this from another direction. Download a fresh copy of the plugin, unzip the archive and upload the plugin’s folder to wp-content/plugins. Then rename wp-content/advanced-cache.php.old back to wp-content/advanced-cache.php
thanks, will do.
leave the other two marked .old? Or change them back?
r
Leave wp-content/plugins/w3-total-cache-old as is for now.
Had to be away for a while.
Thanks, but I have no idea which plugin is causing the problem.
Can I delete them from the directory on the server?
r
esmi
how ’bout i just delete total-cache?
r
esmi
I decided to manually delete db.php and, amazingly, that worked.
I don’t know what plugin that was associated with, do you?
Important because I don’t EVER want to download it again.
If you know, please pass the name along.
thanks for your patience.
r
well, duh! talk about thick!
I’ll stay away from that in the future.
thanks for your patience and help.
r
No problem. Glad you got everything working again. 🙂
rmmiles,
can you help me with a similar problem? I am getting this message:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /usr/local/pem/vhosts/261894/webspace/siteapps/134602/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/w3-total-cache/lib/W3/Db.php on line 190
but when I go into wp-content/plugins – I can’t find one that says w3-total-cache. The only one I had was askimet so I deleted that but nothing happened. Thanks.
