Detected in the HTML source

Hi bulls_shark.
Sorry – I’m not here with an answer. Only to add my voice also to your request. I have WPSC deactivated as a plugin but still when I view my page source code it shows that each page is cached by the plugin. This has caused problems with pages showing out of date content that won’t refresh. Having seen the problems people encounter in trying to uninstall the plugin, I don’t want to do that. But even deactivated, it still seems to be doing its stuff somehow.

Anyone got any thoughts to help us out please?
Thanks!

Just to be sure: Have you uninstalled as described here? (points 1–7)

I tried it on my test site, and I can’t see any traces left after uninstall.

Hi Tom,
No – I’ve not tried uninstalling because other people have had difficulties. I am not very tech minded – so while my site is not currently broke, I don’t want to risk trying this.

Thanks very much for the link though. I have saved the details and will use this procedure if the plugin simply has to go.

Cheers.

I don’t want to risk trying this.

There is virtually no risk involved, since you are only deleting files that belong to WPSC. The only place where you have to pay attention is the .htaccess file. But if you only remove the lines generated by WPSC (which are very clearly marked as such) and not the other stuff, everything will be fine. (And, of course, you’ve made a backup of the file before.)

You are right, your homepage is still supercached. But leaving the caches there without having the caching plugin activated appears way more risky to me than doing a proper uninstall.

Thanks very much.

I’ll go for it!
