 * Warning! WP Super Cache caching was broken but has been fixed! The script advanced-
   cache.php could not load wp-cache-phase1.php.The file /var/www/wordpress/wp-content/
   advanced-cache.php has been recreated and WPCACHEHOME fixed in your wp-config.
   php. Reload to hide this message.
 * This message is always present on the admin page, even if I reload. Despite this,
   caching seems to be functioning normally.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcaching-broken%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Do you have the plugin installed in wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/ ?
 * I checked the source of your homepage and there’s no sign of the usual comment
   the plugin adds at the end. It might not be working ok.

 * The plugin is in the correct folder. The comments it adds were disabled in the
   plugin settings when I was debugging and I forgot to enable it again. I just 
   enabled the setting again.

 * OK, I still don’t see the comments in the HTML source of your page, so something
   is definitely wrong. It might be worth reinstalling the plugin completely.
 * Also, check that WPCACHEHOME in your wp-config.php points at where the plugin
   is installed.
 * Check that the advanced-cache.php in wp-content looks like the file of the same
   name in the plugin. Some hosting companies don’t allow caching plugins and maybe
   they’re deleting it.

 * Strange. Reinstalling the plugin fixed the issue, thank you.
