Thanks. I have deleted W3TC and everything is working fine now. I’m reluctant to re-install it until we know all the issues are resolved with IMH.

Thanks and yes, I’m with IMH on shared hosting.

Mine is still having problems. I’ve deleted everything I can find that’s related to W3TC but when I try to use the dashboard, I get this error

W3 Total Cache Error: some files appear to be missing or out of place. Please re-install plugin or remove /home/*****/*****/*******/wp-content/db.php. I can only access the dashboard in recovery mode and it doesn’t allow me to install plugins.

I’m having the same problem. How can I disable the plugin without access to my dashboard?

It is there but as far as I know, it has always been there with no problem until now.

One site works fine and the other one just developed the problem with the dashboard.

Yes.

They are side by side. It’s an HTML site with 2 side by side WP installations, each in their own folder. The site is andrewsamplab.com

Correction, I mean wp-login-php

I took another look at the error log and I think I see the problem but I don’t know how to fix it. The WP installation is in a folder instead of the public root. However, when I try to access the dashboard, it is trying to find login.php in the public html public root instead of the folder where it actually is. Where in the WP files does it point to the login file location? I assume I need to edit that line of code.

The file exists in the path where the error log says it does not exist. The WP installation is in a sub folder in the public html folder. The login file is in the root of that folder. I looked at another WP installation I have on the same site that is working fine and the problem WP site is configured the same way as the one that works.

I have an html site with 2 WP installations within the site. I know that’s not really recommended but it has worked fine for years that way. As far as I know, all that has changed since the site was working fine is the the updating of WP, themes and plugins. Unfortunately, those updates were all done at the same time so I don’s know which caused the problem. I have a backup that was done shortly before the problem but it’s difficult to run the restore without access to the dashboard.

It’s the only line in the server error log. For security reasons, I’m not sure I should post the log line.

Interestingly, I just checked and the file does exist.

I just looked and it says login.php does not exist.

Went into WP-config and changed define(‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, false); to (‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true);

Then tried to open the site again. This is a live site.

I tried enabling the debug log but it caused the site to crash until it turned it back to false. I went back and looked for the log but it was not there.

If I change the theme, will I not loose content or damage the site in some way?

Also, how would I change the theme without access to the dashboard?
