    Hi there,

    For the last couple of days, I have been receiving the below message when I go to Settings/WP Super Cache.

    Error: Configuration file /xxxx/xxxxx/xxxx/xxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxx/wp-content/wp-cache-config.php is missing. Please reload the page.

    I have not made any changes to the file so not sure why I am receiving this message. I have deactivated and deleted the plugin and then downloaded a fresh copy and re-uploaded, but I am still receiving the same message.

    Has anyone else experienced the same problem and managed to fix this?

    Are you still having this problem? Is the wp-content directory writeable by the server?

    Hi Donncha,

    Thank you for your message.

    Yes, still seem to be having this problem. I did make the wp-content directory writeable to the server and now I am receiving the following:

    WP_CACHE constant set to false

    The WP_CACHE constant is used by WordPress to load the code that serves cached pages. Unfortunately, it is set to false. Please edit your wp-config.php and add or edit the following line above the final require_once command:

    define(‘WP_CACHE’, true);

    When I place the above code in my wp-config file nothing happens.

    Is there any chance you have added it to a wp-config.php in the wrong directory? Try adding error_log( "in the wp-config.php" ); to the wp-config.php just above or below the WP_CACHE define.
    Reload a page and see if that “in the wp-config.php” appears in your PHP error log. If it doesn’t hen your wp-config.php is somewhere else.

    Is the wp-cache-config.php in the wp-content directory now?

    Yes, I can see the wp-cache-config file now. Should I put the define(‘WP_CACHE’, true);

    the code snippet in the file?

    define(‘WP_CACHE’, true); is supposed to go in wp-config.php, not wp-cache-config.php.

    If you can see wp-cache-config.php then caching is probably working is it?
