WordPress is one of the most favorite cms. and will be very many problems that arise when we use wordpress. usually many users use wp-super cache to speed up access to its website. but what happened instead there is a problem with their website. I was one of those who have problems because of this plugin. if you also have a problem with wp-super-cache?
Problem that often arises is the website that often down. seo problems, problems with wp-seo plugin tags, and other problems. and the biggest problem is, the user can not uninstall the plugin directly, if you want to try it, I assure you, your website will be destroyed. want to try? hahahaha
Found a way to uninstall this plugin is very easy, very very easy, but you must follow the steps that I will give, I’ve tried it on my website and successfully, the plugin has been successfully removed. Please try these steps.
Edit the file uninstall.php in your plugins/wp-super-cache/ directory and set
UNINSTALL_WPSUPERCACHE to a non blank value.
EXAMPLE: `define( ‘UNINSTALL_WPSUPERCACHE’, ’1′ );`
Open your browser and load wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/uninstall.php directly.
You must be logged in, and you must confirm the action. If you do not delete the plugin
immediately, after the script runs, please comment out the define() above to stop
someone else running it.
To manually uninstall:
- Remove the WP_CACHE define from wp-config.php. It looks like `define( ‘WP_CACHE’, true );`
- Clear the cache in the backend page and then deactivate the plugin on the plugins page.
- Remove the Super Cache mod_rewrite rules from your .htaccess file.
- Remove the files wp-content/advanced-cache.php and wp-content/wp-cache-config.php
- Remove the directory wp-content/cache/
- Remove the directory wp-super-cache from your plugins directory.
== If all else fails and your site is broken ==
- Remove the WP_CACHE define from wp-config.php. It looks like `define( ‘WP_CACHE’, true );`
- Remove the rules (see above) that the plugin wrote to the .htaccess file in your root directory.
- Delete the wp-super-cache folder in the plugins folder.
- Optionally delete advanced-cache.php, wp-cache-config.php and the cache folder in wp-content/.
I hope, what I have given can help you. please do not hesitate to ask me if you have a problem.
Thanks for your help. I was finally able to uninstall after finding your post.
@Craig Mische, You’re Very Welcome
A while ago I tried to uninstall wp-supercache and got rid of most of it except steps 1 and 5 of your “manually uninstall”. Now I removed the WP_CACHE define from wp-config.php but I can’t delete the ‘cache’ folder. Any suggestions?
@Gorkreg, Try to delete form cpanel or you can use FTP, just delete it
@Maksum Priangga, I am trying to delete it through my ftp account. There is where I have the problem. How do you do it from the cpanel?
@Gorkreg, find cache folder in wp-admin folder and delete it, you can use cpanel to find it.
@Maksum Priangga, Thanks Maksum. I finally sorted it out. It was a problem with permits so I had to ring the hosting.
@Gorkreg, GREAT!!! Happy to hear that!
hey that was a great help . thanks got rid of that complex plugin . .
@rishi, You’re very welcome
thank you so much, now I remove wp-super cache completely from my blog…
@imantos, you’re very welcome
In manual installation steps , How can we delete WP-Cache after removing the Define(cache True) line from wp-config.php.That’s why step 1 should come later.
thanx a ton!
this helped me uninstalling the wp super cache. now trying quickcache for my blog.
@kyio, you’re very welcome
I am happy to hear that
Thanks, i try the wp super cache but i didnt see any diference and my all in one seo redirect did not works.
@javier, yes, thats why I give Information how to delete it
Thanks, saved my bacon and no mistake. We managed to get rid of this awful plugin which caused us many problems.
1 thing remember to just remove the WPCACHE stuff from your ht access file leave in place anything that refers to your database install like;
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘DATABASE-NAME-HERE_wrdp1′);
which is directly underneath the rogue code in your ht access file if in doubt use a slash star and star slash to surround the code and comment it out without deleting it like thus; /* CODE HERE */
That way you get to see what the outcome of deleting it is without actually reming the code and will allow you to put it back in easily if you break your site.
Thanks for info, I like this.
really,amazing i simply edit uninstall.php with this `define( ‘UNINSTALL_WPSUPERCACHE’, ’1? );` & it get deleted within a minutes.
thanx for sharing

Thanks for the time to write this, I did not see any difference so now I am to try w3 total cahe if you can write a review of this one will be great.
W3 Total cache is better
Hey, sry about my english, im brazilian. After I updated the WP Super cache today (5/december), i got a problem. My blog doesnt open. Show a blank page and not even the favico appears.
The only way that i found to fix the problem was renaming the wp-super-cache folder in the plugin folder.
After that I deleted the renamed folder and downloaded the plugin again, but when I active the plugin, the problem comes back. Showing the blank page when i try to open any page of my blog.
I want to use the plugin again. Any idea? Any way to “reset” the configurations? I cant access the panel with the plugin actived…
