Yes @mbrsolution, doing regular backups is now part of my routine thanks. (ps: I finally remebered what it was I was working on and took care of that)
@keating, what are you talking about? who is being abusive?

Regardless, I am going to follow the other thread on this issue and wait till all problems are smoothed out. Then I’ll update the plugin.

Until now, I have never had any issues with my site, updating or what have you, it has always gone smoothly (touch wood). But I will continue to promote WP and all the plugins I use, including this one, to anybody asking me about website setup. Plus the support forums have some very knowledgable folks, which is amazing!

Cheers everyone! this topic will now be marked ‘resolved’

Hey all, thanks for your help with this issue. Unfortunately none of what was suggested worked for me. So I ended up calling my hosting and they restored to a previous date. Now I know the procedure on how to do this if any shit happens again. I only lost a few posts, and what I was working on at the time.<scratchin my head trying to remember what that was>
Now I am going to make a full backup after any significant uploads and also before I do any bloody updates.
cheers! and thanks!

@josefreitas2. I can’t even go into dashboard to deactivate, or downgrade to a previous version.
Also, I do not see a w3tc-config directory, just a w3tc directory.

I really appreciate all the help. Nothing has worked so far but I haven’t tried the phpmyadmin mentioned above yet. See what that does.

my HTPaccess file has quite a bit more then that in it. It all starts with #Begin W3TC browser cache.
So I should delete all that down to “# Begin WordPress”?
I’ll probably save the file as it is,move it elsewhere and then edit.
that should be okay, right?
thanks alot

I backed up my site about a week ago. So some stuff would be lost, but not much.

Thanks for the help. I didn’t delete them, I just moved them to a new Directory folder. Everything listed. Refreshing only resulted in a HTTP500 error. I refreshed about 10 times.
I was able to access a few pages of my site, just not the home page or admin. When I moved the above mentioned files, I could not access anything.
I’m going to keep trying

which ones did you delete? perhaps it can help me too. thx

@gxt. I can’t even access my admin dashboard to do what you suggested even if I knew how to proceed afterwards.

I attempted a couple things listed there to no avail yet.
Since this happened when I updated W3 Total-Cache, I renamed that folder. This gave me an error and said to reload the plugin.
I then renamed the Plugin folder and I get a 500 error.
Refering to the link above, I can’t tell if I have extra blank lines as I don’t really know what I am looking for.
anybody have any suggestions?
