# Problem removing wp-cache plugin

 * I recently removed the plugin wp-cache. A few days after removing it I started
   getting occasional “error establishing a database connection” errors. These errors
   appear to be random and they happen about every 20-30 clicks.
 * As suggested on the support page for wp-cache ([http://mnm.uib.es/gallir/wp-cache-2/](http://mnm.uib.es/gallir/wp-cache-2/)),
   I removed the following line from the wp-config.php file:
 * define(‘WP_CACHE’, true);
 * I have contatcted my host and they have verified that the database server is 
   fine and I have doublechecked the user name and password settings.
 * I had to remove the wp-cache plugin because my site was experiencing “delays”
   to changes. When I changed something on the site it would sometimes take 30 min
   to an hour before it would show up and it would show up at different times on
   different pages. This still happened after deactivating the plugin, but it stopped
   happening after I removed the plugin and the plugin call from the wp-config.php
   file.
 * I have read elsewhere that it is a bad idea to change the wp-config.php file 
   after the WP installation is complete, but I don’t know of any other way to remove
   this plugin.
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 * The problem seems to have disappeared. I think it was yet another Godaddy problem,
   not a problem with the removal of wp-cache. Although they insist it had nothing
   to do with their servers, after calling them 3 times, the problem magicaly disappeared
   in the middle of the 3rd call.
 * I really need to switch to another host, I’m just dredding the transfer process.
   For anyone starting a new blog, stay away from GoDaddy.
