Ok, I think that’s good advice. I’ll give it time and monitor the forums to keep an eye on how things develop. I just hate to see my site speed degrade in the meantime. Thanks!

Thanks. The guy at Blue Host walked me through it. I had to delete the plugin and 4 related caching files – I would not have known to delete the 4 related caching files as well – he told me which ones…

Had the same white screen after updating to WordPress 4.7. Had to remove the plugin file & related caching files via file manager with my hosting company in order to regain access to my dashboard on WordPress. For someone who doesn’t code, this was not fun.

I tried to upload the plugin again and it failed. I’ll have to look elsewhere for caching I guess it’s not compatible with the 4.7 update.

Thanks Alex and Esmi. I was able to rename the w3 total cache plugin and it allowed me to access the dashboard. Then I tried activating the lpugin again and it caused a fatal error. So then I removed the w3 total cache plugin and 4 caching files. The error went away.

I tried to redownload the w3 total cache plugin after removing the old files and it failed.

I now see that w3 total cache is untested with version 4.7 and there are similar problems being reported in their user threads. I still need caching, but don’t want to recreate problems.

any advice?

I have no idea how to do any of that. I need someone to help me.

Same issue – it’s driving me crazy! Please help
