like this :

Vim
1
2
3
4
...
// define('WP_CACHE', true); // Added by W3 Total Cache
...
// define('W3TC_EDGE_MODE', true); // Added by W3 Total Cache

Use ^ + W in nano to find the lines. save the file. Now, go to wp-content/plugins directory and rename the plugin directory :

/usr/share/nginx/html/wp-content/plugins
Vim
