 * hi
 * After I re-cloned my production site to staging on the same URL, I got a warning
   in Admin dashboard that my WP Super Cache was broken **and fixed** (by renaming
   the file in wp-config.php)
   It then says – **reload to hide this message**.
 * I have reloaded several times, singed out and in – yet this message is still 
   there.
 * How can I get rid of it?
 * thanks

 * Is your wp-config.php writeable by the webserver? I think this is happening because
   you cloned your site, and paths differ.
 * Open up wp-config.php and check “WPCACHEHOME”. Is the path to the wp-super-cache
   directory correct for your staging server?

 * Hi [@donncha](https://wordpress.org/support/users/donncha/) 
   thanks for your 
   reply.
 * I have no idea. I rarely if ever, go to the backend of my website and wouldn’t
   know where to look for wp-config.php let alone find out if it is writable on 
   the server or to ascertain if the path to the wp-super-cache directory is correct.
   I am not a developer.
 * The logic however dictates that you may be looking at the wrong issue. The plugin
   which was broken has already fixed itself. There is no need to re-write anything.
   It’s done. It’s working (I hope).
 * The only remaining issue is a nuisance persistent notification about this development
   which doesn’t go away after reloading – which it says it will.

 * Could you give me a fix that doesn’t require rewriting any files or checks at
   the backend.
   if not- I will leave it. It’s only a staging site.
 * thanks

 * That’s what I’m talking about too. When you cloned your site the WPCACHEHOME 
   was incorrectly set, possibly. That’s why I asked you to do those things.
 * I think the simplest way to fix it is by uninstalling WP Super Cache from your
   site and then installing it again. That will set it up with the right settings
   for your particular site.

 * yes, this is the simplest solution. However, when I opened Admin this morning–
   that notification was gone. I deactivated the plugin and activated again, just
   in case. Didn’t have to uninstall.
 * all good.
   thanks!
