I wouldn’t say it’s not “normal”, but it’s above typical. The common minimum of queries would go like: main query (set of posts) functionality (menus, widgets, etc) data (terms and such) On a WP test data that would make something under 50 queries on home page. With object cache it will fall under 10 on … Read more
If you look towards the end of the query process (which starts with the pre_get_posts filter), there is a filter called the_posts (not to be confused with the_post). This allows you to modify the output of get_posts completely, as you asked. Beware that this only works if there is no plugin or so that suppresses … Read more
It does not. Some functionality actively uses HTTP API and is cached – feed fetching, updates checking. But caching is always implemented at wrapper’s level. Making HTTP request without context is too unspecific to make educated guess about caching needs (one minute or one hour).
Make sure your hosting provider offer mod_expires. Because many shared hosting providers doesn’t offer mod_expires . Just contact your hosting support.
So any suggestions are welcomed. Suggestion #1 – Whenever Memcache is available in the server, I prefer Memcached Object Cache and Batcache, unless I have a specific reason to use W3 Total Cache. Whatever, W3 Total Cache offers, can be achieved without it too. For example, for minify, we have Better WP Minify, For Varnish, … Read more
wp_nav_menu() doesn’t return anything by default, it just echoes out formatted html. For wp_nav_menu() to return a value you will need to pass ‘echo’ => false into it’s arguments, like so: $housemenu = wp_nav_menu( array( ‘menu’ => ”, ‘menu_class’ => ‘sf-menu’, ‘menu_id’ => ‘nav’, ‘walker’ => new description_walker(), ‘echo’ => ‘false’ )); It should be … Read more
Based on the authentication documentation here – a nonce key needs to be passed with each request. So if the nonce key is being cached on the frontend beyond its lifespan, you will need to hook into the API request before the authentication step and replace the cached nonce key with a valid one. WordPress … Read more
@Tal, Generally speaking you should only be using one caching plugin. WP Super Cache, W3 Total Cache, Hyper Cache and DB Cache Reloaded all drop files directly in your wp-content directory and they would conflict with each other and cause errors if you were using more than one. I would recommend using W3 Total Cache … Read more
You can use transient cache to cache your custom query. Here is a simple code to set_transient cache for your query for 12 hours. In 12 hours WordPress will not make new query but fetch posts from transient. On expiration, it will save new query in transient again for next 12 hours. I have been … Read more
Yeah, use ‘nopaging’ => true http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Pagination_Parameters $Poz = array( ‘posts_per_page’ => 3, ‘orderby’ => ‘date’, ‘order’ => ‘DESC’, ‘update_post_term_cache’ => false, ‘update_post_meta_cache’ => false, ‘nopaging’ => true, ); $the_query = new WP_Query( $Poz );
