Title: Issue after updating W3 Total Cache to version 2.9.3 Last modified: March 26, 2026 --- # Issue after updating W3 Total Cache to version 2.9.3 * Resolved [leandrosilvaarq](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leandrosilvaarq/) * (@leandrosilvaarq) * [1 week, 5 days ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issue-after-updating-w3-total-cache-to-version-2-9-3/) * Hello, * I updated W3 Total Cache today to the latest version (2.9.3). * After the update, the website became “broken”/misconfigured. I temporarily disabled the plugin, and the website returned to normal. I also performed some tests by enabling and disabling it, and the issue appears to be directly related to the plugin. * Could you please advise what might be causing this issue? * Thank you in advance.

Traced this to javascript loading issues in the backend. Payment methods were not loading, and many other js files were not loading. Reverting to 2.9.2 corrected the issue. * Thread Starter [leandrosilvaarq](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leandrosilvaarq/) * (@leandrosilvaarq) * [1 week, 4 days ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issue-after-updating-w3-total-cache-to-version-2-9-3/#post-18864372) * How do I revert the plugin to a previous version 2.9.2 ? * [Dmytro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/azzepis/) * (@azzepis) * [1 week, 4 days ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issue-after-updating-w3-total-cache-to-version-2-9-3/#post-18864377) * Just install it from [https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/w3-total-cache.2.9.2.zip](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/w3-total-cache.2.9.2.zip), it will ask to replace newer version, accept and all works again * Thread Starter [leandrosilvaarq](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leandrosilvaarq/) * (@leandrosilvaarq) * [1 week, 4 days ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issue-after-updating-w3-total-cache-to-version-2-9-3/#post-18864590) * I reinstalled version 2.9.2, everything is working normally.
