 * Usually when I migrate a site from one host to another I always completely remove
   any cache plugins and re-install after.
 * I migrated a site with WP Super cache and it does not work, this is despite me
   removing it completely and re-installing.
 * I can see that it is STILL using the old server asbsolute URL.
 * This seems to me to be a major failing as any plugin should look at the current
   directory and relative locations to where wordpress is installed.
 * It should also completely remove all its database entries and files when it is
   removed.
 * Seems very sloppy to me.

 * I understand your concern. However, you may uninstall it in the old host, migrate
   it and then install it in the new host.
 * If it still doesn’t solve, you may edit the wp-config.php file and see if the
   value of WPCACHEHOME is correct.

 * JW555, I have encountered the same issue. Have you found a way to remove the 
   link between the two site?

 * The next release of the plugin should fix this problem automatically.
 * Grab the development build from [http://ocaoimh.ie/y/2o](http://ocaoimh.ie/y/2o)
   to try it out as it will fix your wp-config.php and advanced-cache.php when you
   load the settings page.
