• Hello,
    I deleted w3 cache but my temp folder keeps filling up quickly. How do i prevent this from happening? It is locking me out of my website and making webpages get stuck in redirect loops. The vps server company thinks that the plugin is making the temp folder fill up and it is overloading/corrupting database tables.
    How do I fix?

  • From here:

    If you need to manually remove W3 Total Cache, here are the steps to take:

    Remove the WordPress drop-ins: Depending on what caching types were active, you may see advanced-cache.php, object-cache.php, and/or db.php in your wp-content directory. You should delete these.

    Delete w3-total-cache plugin folder: Delete /wp-content/plugins/w3-total-cache/ to deactivate the plugin itself. You won’t lose your settings by doing this, don’t worry.

    Edit your wp-config.php file: If page caching was active, you should see a line in your wp-config.php file that contains the following text: define('WP_CACHE', true); — you can carefully delete this line, and it’s recommended that you make a backup of this file before doing so.

    Edit your .htaccess file: For sites running the Apache web server, W3 Total Cache writes rules in the .htaccess file based on your settings. These rules sit between sections that say “# BEGIN W3TC [caching type]” and “# END W3TC [caching type]” — you can carefully delete these sections, and it’s recommended that you make a backup of this file before doing so.

    Thanks, I tried all of those and the error is still occurring. Any other suggestions?

    This is an example of one of the redirect loops… https://tinyurl.com/lmug98c
    After a user signs up he is redirected back to this same page.
    Prior to this the problem was happening on another page and we had to clear out the temp folder to get it to work.
    I went through your 4 suggestions above, but I am afraid that some of the settings might be still stuck in an on mode or something. Do you have any other solutions?

    I’m afraid that’s all I have as far as suggestions. You may have to wait for someone else with experience of this issue to post further advice. Good luck!

    Hi, thanks. Any other suggestions? My website is not working since I installed this plugin.
