# Cannot Deactivate Cache Enbabler

 * Hi Folks,
 * I want to deactivate Cache Enabler (CE) to do some testing on a basic Widget 
   HTML error, but I cannot deactivate CE or empty the CE cache.
 * Current case size is 894Mb.
 * When I click “Clear site Cache” it hangs the site for a minute, then I get an
   Error Message: “There has been a critical error on this website. Please check
   your site admin email inbox for instructions.”
 * On recovery the CE cache is still full and unchanged.
 * When I try to deactivate CE and hit the plugin “Deactivate” that hangs the page
   for a minute, then I get an Error Message “There has been a critical error on
   this website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.”
 * However, the CE plugin is not deactivated and nor is the cache deleted.
 * I then get a “Cache Enabler requires the advanced-cache.php drop-in. Please deactivate
   and then activate the plugin to automatically copy this file or manually copy
   it from the wp-content/plugins/cache-enabler directory to the wp-content directory.”
   message.
 * When I copy in the advanced-cache.php and refresh the page, the notice goes, 
   but the CE plugin is not reactivated and cache is not cleared.
 * Each time I click CE “Deactivate” or “Clear Site Cache” the above scenarios repeat,
   again and again.
 * With WP-Debug on and I hit the CE “Clear Site Cache”
 * I get the following message:
 * ‘ Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/hiskingd/
   domains/hiskingdomprophecy.com/private_html/wp-content/plugins/cache-enabler/
   inc/cache_enabler_disk.class.php on line 757 ‘
 * With WP-Debug on and I hit the CE plugin “Deactivate”
 * ‘ Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/hiskingd/
   domains/hiskingdomprophecy.com/private_html/wp-content/plugins/cache-enabler/
   inc/cache_enabler_disk.class.php on line 757 ‘
 * The site health data is copied below. All themes and plugins are up to date.
 * Look forward to a fix quite soon.
 * If there is anything more I can provide, please let me know.
    Regards and thanks,
   Angus
 * The site health data:
