Caching refuses to start

    Despite working previously, when I go to the atec plugin page via the admin, it shows the object and page cache are inactive. This is after previously working fine. Here’s the error messages:

    atec Cache APCu: Another „object-cache.php“ file exists. Please deactivate it first.
    atec Cache APCu: Another „advanced-cache.php“ already exists - please deactivate it first.

    The other error message says:

    The cache settings are inconsistent (OC is not active).
    Please save again to auto-fix it.

    I save again, and it still gives me the first two error messages. I’ve tried disabling the plugin, reinstalling it, but nothing works. The only other caching plugin I use is WP Rocket, which doesn’t have a page or object cache (at least I’m unaware of any).

    My hosting company installs the Endurance page cache, but I keep it disabled. I’m at a complete loss as to what to do.

    Also, when I flush the APCu object cache under the APCu tab, when I come back to it, it’s filled up again with items. It’s like nothing is working. I’d attach screenshots but for whatever reason I can’t.

    I need more info.

    You can work on your site and also load the site to trigger the PC and then send me the log via email, to info@atecplugins.com

    Hey Tom, totally get how confusing cache stuff can get, especially when the Page Cache tab just sits there blank after you’ve made changes. Usually that means nothing’s being cached yet, even though the setting’s on. Sometimes it’s just one little thing blocking the process.

    One thing that’s tripped people up: the advanced-cache.php file left behind by WP Rocket. Even if you’ve deactivated the plugin, that file hanging out in your /wp-content/ folder can keep other caches from working. If it’s there, try renaming or removing it (and good call to keep a backup, just in case).

    Themes and plugins can sometimes block caching too. If you’re up for it, try switching to a default theme like Twenty Twenty-Four for a minute, if the Page Cache tab suddenly comes to life, you’ll know it’s a theme conflict.

    You can also flip WP_DEBUG to “true” in your wp-config.php file to see if any errors pop up. The “unclosed buffer” message you mentioned could be a clue, especially if something’s not closing out cleanly.

    Since you’re on Bluehost, double-check that Endurance Page Cache is off. Server-side caching can sometimes get in the way, even if you think it’s not running.

    Hope this helps untangle things a bit. Always wild how sticky these caching issues can get, but most of the time it’s just a stubborn file or setting somewhere.

    Why does Bluehost leave Endurance plugins in MU-plugins folder – when Endurance Page Cache is off?
