Initial Install – Admin pages flash then white?

  • Hello .. I believe my problem lies w/ my advanced-cache.php page.. I had created it and uploaded to the content folder.

    I also added the line to my wp-config.php file. When I then go back into my admin – anything I click on will quickly flash the contents of the page and then go white?

    The initial error thrown asked to edit permissions or create the advanced-cache.php if it did not exis, replacing CACHEHOME with /home/admin/sites/mysite.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/

    the file that needs to be edited does not have a “CACHEHOME” rather a WPCACHEHOME… 3 instances of WPCACHEHOME as show below:

    <?php
# WP SUPER CACHE 1.2
function wpcache_broken_message() {
	if ( false == strpos( $_SERVER[ 'REQUEST_URI' ], 'wp-admin' ) )
		echo "<!-- WP Super Cache is installed but broken. The constant WPCACHEHOME must be set in the file wp-config.php and point at the WP Super Cache plugin directory. -->";
}

if ( false == defined( 'WPCACHEHOME' ) ) {
	define( 'ADVANCEDCACHEPROBLEM', 1 );
} elseif ( !include_once( WPCACHEHOME . 'wp-cache-phase1.php' ) ) {
	if ( !@is_file( WPCACHEHOME . 'wp-cache-phase1.php' ) ) {
		define( 'ADVANCEDCACHEPROBLEM', 1 );
	}
}
if ( defined( 'ADVANCEDCACHEPROBLEM' ) )
	register_shutdown_function( 'wpcache_broken_message' );
?>

  • Are you seeing anything in your PHP error log? What do you see when you view source any page in your admin?

    There are no errors in my php error log.

    In regards to my question above, can you show me how that code should be edited above ?

    Are you using WP Super Cache 1.4? The constant WPCACHEHOME needs to be fixed in your wp-config.php, not advanced-cache.php.

    @donncha… Here are the following specs of our install.

    Version 1.4

    Step 1. Install plugin
    Step 2. Click plugin settings
    A. First error message:
    “WP_CACHE constant set to false

    The WP_CACHE constant is used by WordPress to load the code that serves cached pages. Unfortunately it is set to false. Please edit your wp-config.php and add or edit the following line above the final require_once command:

    define(‘WP_CACHE’, true);“

    Step 3. Add define(‘WP_CACHE’, true); to our wp-config.php file above the last require_once.

    Step 4. WP Super Cache settings..
    A. Pages flashes with info and then goes blank.
    B. View Source of blank page.
    1. `<p>Warning! WP Super Cache caching <strong>was</strong> broken but has been <strong>fixed</strong>! The script advanced-cache.php could not load wp-cache-phase1.php.<br /><br />The file /home/admin/sites/mysite.com/public_html/wp-content/advanced-cache.php has been recreated and WPCACHEHOME fixed in your wp-config.php. Reload to hide this message.</p></div><div id=”message” class=”updated fade”><h3>Warning! <em>Could not update /home/admin/sites/mysite.com/public_html/wp-config.php!</em> WPCACHEHOME must be set in config file.</h3><div id=”message” class=”updated fade”><h3>Warning! /home/admin/sites/mysite.com/public_html/wp-content is writeable!</h3>
    <p>You should change the permissions on /home/admin/sites/mysite.com/public_html/wp-content and make it more restrictive. Use your ftp client, or the following command to fix things: <code>chmod 755 /home/admin/sites/mysite.com/public_html/wp-content/</code></p>`

    Step 5. Add line of code to wp-config.php under previously added line.
    A. `define(‘WP_CACHE’, true);
    define( ‘WPCACHEHOME’, dirname(__FILE__) .’/wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache’ ); `

    Step 6. WP Super Cache settings
    A. New errors up top via wp debug. Page still blank.
    Warning: include(/home/admin/sites/mysite.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cachewp-cache-base.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/admin/sites/mysite.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/wp-cache.php on line 63 Warning: include(): Failed opening '/home/admin/sites/mysite.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cachewp-cache-base.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php') in /home/admin/sites/mysite.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/wp-cache.php on line 63 Warning: include_once(/home/admin/sites/mysite.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cacheossdl-cdn.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/admin/sites/mysite.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/wp-cache.php on line 80 Warning: include_once(): Failed opening '/home/admin/sites/mysite.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cacheossdl-cdn.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php') in /home/admin/sites/mysite.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/wp-cache.php on line 80

    Step 7. View source of blank page
    A. Error Message in source same as step 4B

    @donncha O Caoimh : please could you focus a little more on this trouble I am also having (perfectly described in the first post above) and of course your plugin can’t work since I don’t know at all how to edit this “advanced-cache.php” file. I am not even sure I am editing the wright file (you wrote: _”Are you using WP Super Cache 1.4? The constant WPCACHEHOME needs to be fixed in your wp-config.php, not advanced-cache.php.”_). Does your install process or troubleshooting informations need to be updated and if yes, when? Please be as precise as possible in your explanations.

    Put a slash at the end of your WPCACHEHOME definition in wp-config.php:

    define( 'WPCACHEHOME', dirname(__FILE__) .'/wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/' );

    You are not answering the question. On the administration page of your plugin one can read this:

    – Could not update /home/www/###/web/wp-config.php! WPCACHEHOME must be set in config file.</p>
    <p>– Attention! /home/www/###/web/wp-content/advanced-cache.php n’existe pas ou ne peut pas être mis à jour.</p>
    <p>1. S’il existe déjà, veuillez supprimer le fichier d’abord.
    2. Permettez à /home/www/###/web/wp-content d’être écrit en utilisant la commande chmod via votre logiciel ftp ou serveur. (chmod 777 /home/www/###/web/wp-content) et rafra?chissez cette page. Il ne s’agit que d’une mesure temporaire, et vous devrez le repasser en lecture seule ensuite. (Passez de 777 à 755 dans la commande précitée)
    3. Rafra?chissez cette page pour mettre à jour /home/www/###/web/wp-content/advanced-cache.php</p>
    <p>Si ?a ne fonctionnait pas, assurez vous que le fichier /home/www/###/web/wp-content/advanced-cache.php n’existe pas :</p>
    <p> 1. Ouvrez le fichier /home/www/###/web/wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/advanced-cache.php$wp_cache_file dans un éditeur de texte.
    2. Remplacez le texte CACHEHOME par /home/www/###/web/home/www/###/web/wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/
    3. Sauvegardez le fichier et copiez-le dans /home/www/###/web/wp-content/advanced-cache.php, puis rafra?chissez cette page.</p>
    <p>Impossible de continuer… Résolvez les problèmes susmentionnés et réessayez.

    My problems:
    – the first point has no explanation at all so I don’t how to fix this precisely. I know that I have to edit the wp-config.php file but don’t know where and how.
    – this drives me to the second point, which has a lot of explanations on the contrary but contains obvious errors indicated by jnnynkdcelebs above (1st post).
    Actually the result is the one described in the title of this thread: Admin pages flash then white.

    Just adopted this plugin instead (more simple):

    Thx.
