How to delete WP Super Cache Plugin In WordPress

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:

  1. Remove the WP_CACHE define from wp-config.php. It looks like `define( ‘WP_CACHE’, true );`
  2. Clear the cache in the backend page and then deactivate the plugin on the plugins page.
  3. Remove the Super Cache mod_rewrite rules from your .htaccess file.
  4. Remove the files wp-content/advanced-cache.php and wp-content/wp-cache-config.php
  5. Remove the directory wp-content/cache/
  6. Remove the directory wp-super-cache from your plugins directory.

== If all else fails and your site is broken ==

  1. Remove the WP_CACHE define from wp-config.php. It looks like `define( ‘WP_CACHE’, true );`
  2. Remove the rules (see above) that the plugin wrote to the .htaccess file in your root directory.
  3. Delete the wp-super-cache folder in the plugins folder.
  4. 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.

  4. 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?

  11. 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.
