lost my dashboard, error message instead

  • i lost my dashboard. i get this error message when i try to go there:

    “W3 Total Cache Error: some files appear to be missing or out of place. Please re-install plugin or remove /home2/lewisco1/public_html/wp-content/advanced-cache.php.”

    what i was doing was trying to add “w3 total cache” but after it was installed and i thought i clicked ‘activate” i could not get to other places on my dashboard. (i could click them, but i would then see a blank page, and my web site disappeared)

    so i removed w3 total cache, by deleting the plugin thru my file manager. any ideas?

  • Below is a quote from this thread:

    I had an issue that when I deactivated the plugin; it was still working. I then removed the plugin folder and got the admin errors. However, like Fredrick says, remove ALL the W3 Total Cache files and you should be good to go.

    Remove:
    wp-content/advanced-cache.php
    wp-content/db.php
    wp-content/w3tc/
    wp-content/w3-total-cache-config.php
    wp-content/plugins/w3-total-cache/

    Once those files were deleted, the admin errors went away.

    Sorry for the trouble.
