My /assets/cache is messed up after changing PHP to 8 and then back to 7.4 - seems to have something to do with it, apparently had same problem 4 years ago. Manually deleting everything in that folder brings the whole site down with this error:
When I upload older cache files - only ones I had saved... - I can restore access, but then I get weird messed up old versions of my pages that I can't get rid of with any cache cleaning methods I know about.
How can I reset/clear/turn off any caching and compiling etc. to zero/factory settings? I only want template files to get current database content.
Edit: I guess I had a similar problem 4 years ago, also after changing/messing with PHP version.
I think I fixed it for now by turning off 'Use Compiled File' in Files in the template settings. Still curious what's going on here, so if anyone has any ideas, please post.
