robnalexpress:
First, thank you for your attention. This is my first experience with the forum and I am as grateful as can be for your help.
The wp-onfig.pgp file, when I examined it, contained as its third line of code:
//define('WP_CACHE', true); //Added by WP-Cache Manager
I deleted this line and re-inserted the code required by W3 Total Cache:
define('WP_CACHE', true);
When i saved this change, the code was automatically converted to the former and the error flag persisted.
I again deleted this third line of code in my wp-config.pgp file and I inserted the code on the last line of that file. Both lines of code were automatically restored and now I have the full code on both the third and the last line of the pgp file. Of course, the error message persists. There is no other file "wp-config.pgp" in my ftp site folder.
Thank you for your patience with this member who has limited experience and tech capabilities. I am skeptical of the assertion that "CODE IS POETRY."
