# OpenFX plugin is not loading

If for some reason the OpenFX plugin stopped working or displays the below error message in the OpenFX inspector:

> No parameter is exposed to user or OFX Plugin is NOT available.

Please try to clear the OpenFX cache by doing the following:

### macOS

1. Close DaVinci Resolve
2. Open OpenFX plugin cache file location
   * Open a *Finder* window
   * Select *Go* > *Go to Folder...*
   * Type or paste in:\
     \&#xNAN;**`~/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/`**
3. Delete the *OFXPluginCache.xml* file at this location
4. Relaunch Resolve

### Windows

1. Close DaVinci Resolve
2. Open OpenFX plugin cache file location
   * Open a *File Explorer* window
   * Go to\
     \&#xNAN;**`C:\ProgramData\Blackmagic Design\Davinci Resolve\Support\`**
3. Delete the *OFXPluginCache.xml* file at this location
4. Relaunch Resolve

### Re-enabling the OpenFX Plugin in DaVinci Resolve

When the OFX plugin causes a problem or crashes DaVinci Resolve it gets blacklisted and Resolve won't appempt to load it anymore. Even if you re-install a plugin or install a different version of the plugin.

In order to load the plugin again we need to tell Resolve to do so. Go to Preferences and Video Plugins section:

![Re-enable OpenFX Plugins](/files/-Mk7GN8tzE6MPHjTxcvk)

Tick the checkbox next to the plugin, click **Save** and restart DaVinci Resolve. The plugin will be loaded on startup.
