 * I installed W3 Total Cache (Fixed) v0.9.5.4.2 from here
    [https://github.com/szepeviktor/w3-total-cache-fixed/releases/tag/0.9.5.4.2](https://github.com/szepeviktor/w3-total-cache-fixed/releases/tag/0.9.5.4.2)
 * It seems to be working but having message
    “The Page Cache add-in file advanced-
   cache.php is not a W3 Total Cache drop-in. It should be removed.”
 * What should I do with this message?

 * It means that when W3TC went to open the advanced-cache.php file (located in /
   wp-content) it noticed that the file was not created by W3TC but is/was in fact
   done by a different cache plugin … meaning you have an existing cache program
   still running when u attempted to activate w3tc. You are best advised to disable
   the OTHER cache plugin you are using which by doing should remove that advanced-
   cache.php file, and then activate W3TC which will then create its own advanced-
   cache.php.
