as I said, turn off the caching of forum page... we have no facility for a post to not show up immediately... Its always immediately available (unless moderated in which case it shows up when approved)

Super cache has been deactivated due to some server error issues that it was causing. Forum still delaying posting replies.

If super cache was disabled, you wouldnt be seeing this at the bottom of every page:

<!-- Cached page generated by WP-Super-Cache on 2013-11-10 17:04:20 -->
<!-- super cache -->

remember, you disable it, you must disable the plugin, turn off caching in wp-config.php and remove the advanced-cache.php file from wp-content...

and I assure  you, there is nothing we could possibly do to delay showing a post...  the post gets made, we add it to database, it shows up...  There is now way (short of the moderation I said before) in simple press that we can delay showing a post...

For now, why don't I just delete the  Super Cache plug in.

Well first, of course, it may be useful for other pages although personally i have never foumnd it really makes much of a difference.

But - and this is important - it does have to be removed as per the instructions. Deactivating and deleting the plugin files does not get rid of al what needs to be removed. Last time I checked it did have good details on how to properly uninstall...

Prior to activating Super Cache, my site was faster than 42% of websites; after, it rated at 82%, so at least in load time it made a distinct difference though whether or not that difference shows up in ranking is something I do not know. Is that significant enough to want to get it to work?

However, I also received server errors when it was activated, so I deactivated it. I am glad you told me that there is more to removing the plug in than simply deleting. I will look up the documentation and remove it. Then we will know whether or not it is the plug in. Thanks.

Have been trying to manually uninstall WP Super Cache according to these WP directives:

To manually uninstall:

  1. Turn off caching on the plugin settings page and clear the cache.
  2. Deactivate the plugin on the plugins page.
  3. Remove the WP_CACHE define from wp-config.php. It looks like

    define( 'WP_CACHE', true );
  4. Remove the Super Cache mod_rewrite rules from your .htaccess file.
  5. Remove the files wp-content/advanced-cache.php and wp-content/wp-cache-config.php
  6. Remove the directory wp-content/cache/
  7. Remove the directory wp-super-cache from your plugins directory.

I turned off caching and deactivated the plug in. But I cannot find wp-config.php. How would I navigate to it? And then how to navigate to the .htaccess file? Once these files are removed, when they say "remove" the directory wp-supercache, where is the plugins directory?

I will appreciate your helpl.

wp-config.php is in the root folder of your WordPress site. It is the one that was set up with the database name and password etc/. when WP was first installed.

By default - WordPress plugins are stored at /wp-content/plugins/

Okay. Does this mean that I find the root folder in Appearance/Editor? (Does not leap out at me there.) And where to find wp-content?
