THIS PLUGIN IS DESIGNED TO BRICK YOUR WEBSITE WHEN YOU UNINSTALL IT!!
An Optimization framework designed to improve user experience and page speed.
I’m not currently using it, because as I recall I had issues with this and BlogText.
Configuration ∞
General ∞
First, edit your permalink settings. I use:
-
(o) Custom Structure: https://blog.spiralofhope.com/ /%post_id%-%postname%.html
https://blog.spiralofhope.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=w3tc_general
- Page Cache Method: [Disk: Enhanced]

[_] Enable news dashboard widget

-
[_] Enable Google Page Speed dashboard widget
Click one of the “Save all settings” buttons anywhere on the page.
Uninstallation / un-bricking your website ∞
1) Prepare
Before trying to uninstall it, make sure you can ftp into your website.
Don’t just have the login information, try it first.
I also recommend you back up your wp-content directory.
2) Visit your plugins page. For me it is:
https://blog.spiralofhope.com/wp-admin/plugins.php
3) Deactivate W3 Total Cache
4) Uninstall W3 Total Cache
5) Try to refresh your page.
You’ll probably get a big fat fucking error message.
6) FTP into your website
7) Manually move your W3 Total Cache-related files.
These are the two offending things.
a) The plugin file:
wp-content/object-cache.php
b) The wp-super-cache folder:
wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/
I recommend moving them to the root of your website so they’re easy to change.
8) Re-check your website.
Your website should be un-bricked now.
