 * Hello,
 * We had a really weird issue where we had updated Cloudflare Super Cache plugin
   on our side, and suddenly this returned a white page, once we tried to troubleshoot
   the issue, this was related to an empty wp-config.php with just the following
   content:
 * # pwd && cat wp-config.php
    /var/www/wordpress <?php define(‘WP_CACHE’, true);//
   Added by WP Cloudflare Super Page Cache
 * The plugin was updated to Version 4.5.6
 * Thanks

 * Hi,
    the update in no way changes anything in the WP Config file. I think this
   has happened during the update process at the server level. You can check the
   codes if you want but again, the Update does not make any changes to the `wp-
   config` file in any way.
 * In fact if you search for the string `The plugin was updated to Version 4.5.6`
   inside the plugin code you won’t find it as the plugin update does not add anything
   in the `wp-config`. The update status is written only in the log file.

 * Hello Saumya,
 * I understand your point, but that is why I am escalating this here, as this is
   what happened.
 * Now server side? I don’t understand how are you pointing to a server issue when
   this was something triggered by the “Plugin upgrade” as mentioned, that is the
   only thing that was done, and then wp-config.php was wiped.
 * Regards

 * Hi,
    The reason I am saying something went wrong at the server level is that 
   the string `The plugin was updated to Version 4.5.6` is added by WordPress when
   you update a plugin. Now that string is supposed to show you as a alert message
   but not add anything at the `wp-config`.
 * I’ve also personally updated the plugin on multiple sites across different servers
   and none of them had any issues. I think somehow the message that was supposed
   to show up as an alert message got added to `wp-config` by WordPress but I don’t
   understand why.
 * But you think, if this was a plugin bug it would have been affecting everyone
   across any server if the plugin was making any changes to the WP Config file.

 * Hello,
 * That makes sense, but that is why I am reporting this. Otherwise, I would keep
   this to myself though.
 * I believe we should let someone from their team look into this instead, before
   coming to any conclusion.

 * Also can you try downloading [this build](https://verti-artifacts.s3.amazonaws.com/WP-Cloudflare-Super-Page-Cache-development-1ca1e469/wp-cloudflare-page-cache.zip)
   and updating the plugin via WP admin by simply uploading the ZIP and see if you
   have the problem again?
