You’re running debug mode …

Hello @andymiller,

I am sorry about the issue you are having with the debug mode and I am happy to assist you with this.

It appears that you’ve had those enabled before and you also enabled those in Debug. Now as those options are disabled, the debug check-boxes are also greyed out.
Go to Performance>General settings and enable minify and save all settings. Then, go to Performance>General settings, debug sub-box and minify box should be available to de-select. After you de-select that check-box, save all settings. Then you can disable Ominify options if you are not planning to use it.
I hope this helps.

Hi Marko

Thanks for the speedy response. I’ll try that.

I’ve the same issue, but no option in debug box is selected.

Tried what you recommended but also in my case no options in debug box are checked.

Hello @giuseppect and @badknees,

Try enabling all options in Performance>General settings available in Debug.
After that enable all options in the debug section and save settings, and then de-select them and save all settings.

I had actually tried that already. The message still exists.

Hello, @badknees,
Something must have gone wrong during the update.
You should try to re-install the plugin or share your W3 Total Cache configuration (just download current configuration in import/export settings)
To completely remove and reinstall W3 Total Cache:
1. Purge Cache
2. Deactivate and Delete Plugin
3. Check .htaccess File (make backup)
W3TC will create many directives in .htaccess file to control the caching behavior. Each section will start and end with comments like “#BEGIN W3TC Page Cache core” and “#END W3TC Page Cache core”.
Ensure that no residual entries are leftover in your .htaccess file after deleting the plugin.
4. Delete wp-content files and folders
– cache folder
– w3tc-config folder
– object-cache.php File (if exists)
– advanced-cache.php (if exists)
– dbcache.php (if exists)
– upgrade folder
– W3-total-cache folder in your /plugins/ folder (if exists)
5. Delete Cached Files from CDN (if using CDN)
Besides deleting all the relevant files, if you use CDN then ensure to purge the cached content from your CDN. This is necessary when you enabled minify option in W3TC settings. You should delete the minified and combined scripts and CSS files from your CDN server to avoid the site breaking on the browser.
6. Re-install W3 Total Cache

I got it sorted.

The reverse proxy checkbox was checked and grayed out.

I turned on reverse Proxy setting, and then was able to uncheck the reverse proxy box in the debug settings.

Thanks for the help!

Hi Marko

Just to confirm that that fixed my issue: enabling Minify, meant that I could uncheck the debug box.

Thanks for your help.

Problem “You’re running debug mode, it’s using Resources and not recommend to run continuously”

I experienced that same problem as @andymiller, only my greyed-out checkbox was CDN.

I used the workaround of @vmarko only altered “minify” in “CDN” (which was unchecked in my case). This ‘hack’worked like a charm

Thanks for your idea @vmarko!
