• Hi,

    I have the WP REST Cache plugin installed on my site, however, I have an old version in the MU plugins, version 2021.3.0  , which is active.

    And version 2026.1.0 under normal plugins but de-activated.

    How can I update to the latest version without negatively affecting my site?

    Thank you.

    Hi @elmalak

    Thank you for using our plugin!

    It is completely normal that you have a mu-plugin and a normal plugin. The mu-plugin is needed to hook into WordPress very early in order to serve the cache before other plugins are executed. What is not normal is that you say that the normal plugin is deactivated. Deactivating that plugin should remove the mu-plugin automatically. Without the normal plugin activated the mu-plugin will not do anything.

    With regards to the versions: the normal plugin is the one that gets updated frequently, because that holds almost all the logic. The mu-plugin is rarely updated, since it’s functionality is limited to loading very early, so that is why that plugin is still at version 2021.3.0

    Thank you for the quick response.

    So, what is the best course of action now, just enable the regular plugin, and I should be good to go, or do I need to do anything to the mu-plugin manually updating it, or so?

    Thank you.

    @elmalak For now simply activating the regular plugin should be enough. When the mu-plugin needs updating the regular plugin will handle it.
