bug: “// WP-Optimize: page cache disabled “

    personally i really dislike the ‘one plugin does it all’ approach because this virtually always leads to it doing nothing well – adding page caching is outside the scope of this plugin IMO and so i’ll be dumping it

    after activating the cache to check something, then immediately deactivating it, WordPress is left with a permanent “// WP-Optimize: page cache disabled” in the backend, even when the plugin is disabled, and even after it has been deleted

    really?

    and now my proper caching plugin, LiteSpeed cache, is reporting that “LiteSpeed has detected another plugin using the “Advanced Cache” file.”, again, even after WP-Optimize was deleted

    and so now i have to clean up the mess it left behind

  • Did this get resolved? I just disabled the cache and deleted it and now have
    // WP-Optimize: page cache disabled

    displayed on my banner. Restoring old databases isn’t resolving it

    in /wp-content see if there are 2 advanced-cache.php files, one with a .bak extension – if so, rename the current one (add .old or whatever) and then remove .bak from the other and see if that works

    if you did not have a caching plugin installed, there may not be an advanced-cache.php.bak – in that case i think you can just delete the // WP-Optimize: page cache disabled string from the one you named .old, then just remove the .old extension and you should be good

    appears the developers never bothered to test this very well which is another reason i removed this plugin

    Thank you for the report. Please:

    – update to version 3.0.1

    – then turn the page cache on and then off again; or alternatively, just delete the file wp-content/advanced-cache.php

    You must do the second step, not just the first. Sorry for the inconvenience!

    I’ll try not to bore with too many technical details, but, in theory this bug should have been impossible to occur – it requires WP_CACHE to be set to true by something; but that something has not taken control of advanced-cache.php as it should do when setting WP_CACHE to true. i.e. The occurrence of this bug indicates some other underlying anomaly in the WP installs it occurred on.

    I deleted the string. Back to the list of things to fix. Thanks X100, saved me hours of searching

    I agree with the OP, I really liked this plugin for specific DB optimization. Now it’s got all this other stuff I don’t want junking up my sites. And some of them after this update are now getting a pop up error stating “an unexpected response was received” whenever I load any of the WP-Optimize setting pages on the back end. Messy.

    I really liked this plugin for specific DB optimization

    actually it’s not even great at that – after dumping WP-O i installed Plugins Garbage Collector and it found a bunch of db tables that were left by 4 plugins i uninstalled long ago
