Thanks Kimberly for your help. I appreciate this soooo much. I’m going crazy over here.
I restored the default settings of the w3 total cache plugin and made sure object & database caching was disabled. I also cleared Chrome’s cache & cookies.
I also installed that “query monitor” wordpress plugin. I don’t really know what to look for though.
But now the home page won’t load at all, completely blank. My current php is 5.5, not sure if that matters, but I tried 5.6 & 5.7 also.
I feel like it’s not clearing and still working for /wp-content/cache/page_enhanced/reneetaglia.com/_index.html.old
