Fatal error no such file exist

Hello @pad1

I am sorry about the issue you are experiencing and I am happy to assist you with this.
It seems like the /w3-total-cache-api.php is missing. Can you please completely remove and re-install W3 Total Cache?
1. Purge Cache
2. Deactivate and Delete Plugin
3. Check .htaccess File (make backup)
W3TC will create many directives in .htaccess file to control the caching behavior. Each section will start and end with comments like “#BEGIN W3TC Page Cache core” and “#END W3TC Page Cache core”.
Ensure that no residual entries are left over in your .htaccess file after deleting the plugin.
4. Delete wp-content files and folders
– cache folder
– w3tc-config folder
– object-cache.php (if exists)
– advanced-cache.php (if exists)
– dbcache.php (if exists)
– upgrade folder
– delete w3-total-cache folder in wp-content/plugins/ (if exists)
5. Delete Cached Files from CDN (if using CDN)
Besides deleting all the relevant files, if you use CDN then ensure to purge the cached content from your CDN. This is necessary when you enabled minify option in W3TC settings. You should delete the minified and combined scripts and CSS files from your CDN server to avoid the site breaking on the browser.
6. Go to your wp dashboard and re-install W3 Total Cache

Thanks!

Hello, After I update my wordpress version, and updated w3 total cache to the latest version, it shows the error, so I deactivated w3 total cache.

Now It’s deactivated but not deleted.. My MOBILE Homepage is not updating. Desktop is updated. I do try to purge cache from cloudflare, but it doesnt work.

I also tried to “false” wp_debug from wp-cofing.php added by w3 total cache.

I check .htaccess and wp-content folder, it has the files/folders and htaccess w3 total cache. (I never remove).

Is it okay if I update my htaccess and remove the cache files from wp-content?

I also seeing this error?
WordPress database error Can’t find file: ‘./wp_name/wp_redirection_404.frm’ (errno: 13) for query SHOW FULL COLUMNS FROM wp_redirection_404 made by require(‘wp-blog-header.php’), require_once(‘wp-includes/template-loader.php’), do_action(‘template_redirect’), WP_Hook->do_action, WP_Hook->apply_filters, WordPress_Module->template_redirect, RE_404::create, W3TC\\DbCache_WpdbNew->insert, W3TC\\DbCache_WpdbInjection_QueryCaching->insert, W3TC\\_CallUnderlying->insert, W3TC\\DbCache_WpdbNew->insert, W3TC\\DbCache_WpdbInjection->insert, W3TC\\DbCache_WpdbNew->default_insert, W3TC\\DbCache_WpdbNew->query, W3TC\\DbCache_WpdbInjection->query, W3TC\\DbCache_WpdbNew->default_query

Hello @kamsentari

Please follow the steps provided in the previous post. And yes you can remove W3TC rules from .htaccess and manually delete the cache folder.
Thanks!
