I have been with Dream Host now for over Three Years! That time has gone by so fast. It seems so long ago when I realize it by looking at the post I wrote on May 4, 2005 about Dream Host and the WP One-Click install there.<\/p>\n
All this time I have utilized the One-Click to upgrade this blog. The only problem I ever had stemmed from one install that had the wp-cache plugin, I swear I never installed it myself. I recently solved my problem, not being able to delete the old wp folder once I had upgraded.<\/p>\n
I have a few other blog installs on Dream Host, and had the problem in all of them (and I know I never installed or utilized wp-cache myself, manually or knowingly.) I figured out what to do and now my blog installs are free of that problem folder leftover thing.<\/p>\n
There’s a sym-link that won’t delete in the wp-content folder if you the had wp-cache plugin, and deleted the plugin, and\/or the CACHE folder that is in wp-content.<\/p>\n
The basic theory is that you just need to re-create the CACHE folder. Just put a new folder in there and name it “cache” and voila! The sym-link should look different, alive. It’s then delete-able. Delete it, and the cache folder, and then you are free to delete the wp-content folder as well as the wp folder.<\/p>\n
Now my site root is cleaner. I had taken all those leftovers and renamed the wp folders to “delete 1” etc. Just to get them all lined up outside of my normal folder structure. Hoping to one day be able to figure it out without contacting DH to do it for me. Why? I like to figure things out and time usually pays off. It did in this case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
