wp-cache-config.php file getting Corrupted
-
Recently (starting on the 4th of this month from what I can see), the …/wp-content/wp-cache-config.php file has been becoming corrupted every few days (virtually at random from what I can see). This issue has not happened in the past and I’ve had the WP Super Cache plugin installed and active for almost 2 years.
What I am seeing are parts of the coding in the file being replaced with:
�������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������$wp_Depending on where the corruption occurs in the file it can cause certain parts of the site to not work, or, at times, it can cause every page to throw a 500 error.
The error shown in my PHP Error Log is usually a Syntax Error due to these unexpected strings of REPLACEMENT CHARACTERS. This is only happening to this one file as far as I can tell.
I have not installed any new plugins, nor have I made changes to the WP Super Cache settings.
When the error arises, I remove the corrupted code, clear the cache from the dashboard, and then everything works fine again for a day or so (sometimes it is several days until it happens again) and then the corruption happens all over again (usually in a different part of the file, sometimes affecting 2 areas of the file and with different numbers of the REPLACEMENT CHARACTER).
What could be causing this issue?
Thank you in advance.
