 * I am getting the following message when I try to open my site, [http://www.edit30.com&#8230](http://www.edit30.com&#8230);
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /home/content/r/m/
   m/rmmiles/html/edit30/wp-content/plugins/w3-total-cache/lib/W3/Db.php on line
   190
 * and I have not clue what this means and, therefore, how to fix it.
 * Can anyone help, please?

 * The problem appeared to have been with the plug-in: w3-total-cache. There evidently
   was something wrong with the code, so I just eliminated the plug-in.
    BUT, I 
   couldn’t get to the wp-admin page until I went into the code, which was in a 
   directory on my host’s server at GoDaddy.
 * The instructions esmi gave me didn’t work, however… I modified them.
 * He said “FTP into your site (or use whatever file management application your
   host provides) and rename the wp-content/plugins/w3-total-cache folder to wp-
   content/plugins/w3-total-cache-old.”
 * That didn’t work. So I went to that file and deleted “w3-total-cache” and that
   DID work,
    I reloaded the WP-admin page that was showing the error message and
   bingo, there was my own page.
 * Hope it works for you.

 * This is fixed in the next release.
