Here’s how I would go about doing this: First create a file with a hash for the file name within your theme directory – this one is md5(‘foobar’): 3858f62230ac3c915f300c664312c63f.php Within that file would be something like this: //Use the file name as an API key of sorts $file = explode(‘.’, basename(__FILE__)); $key = $file[0]; //Trigger … Read more
W3 Total Cache is a very advanced plugin that has built in ways to handle almost any situation. To exclude a page from being cached use one of the following commands below: define(‘DONOTCACHEPAGE’, true); Disables page caching for a given page. define(‘DONOTCACHEDB’, true); Disables database caching for given page. define(‘DONOTMINIFY’, true); Disables minify for a … Read more
There several possible scenarios: For some reason W3 is not properly configured or configuration was improperly applied to .htaccess files. W3 is properly configured but has compatibility issues with some part of your setup. This has nothing to do with W3 at all and comes from some other part of your setup or server. From … Read more
As the commenters have alluded to, this is a “feature” of using cookies. Changes to cookies are only enacted on the next page refresh. You could try adding an extra page refresh (which will make the users browser page flash) or you could add some JavaScript to destroy the cookie dynamically.
The following script takes the url that was asked from the client. It checks whether there is a fresh version of a static HTML page on the cache and if yes, it servers that. If the file does not exist at all or the it is expired(I check its modification date) then the request is … Read more
Short answer: You can’t. Getting W3 Total Cache to talk to a non-WP call in manor listed above isn’t (easily) possible. I completely agree with @allenericr comments. The Transients API is very straight forward and quite simple to implement. In addition, @allenericr, comment on using admin-ajax.php is also spot on. It’s not sure it’s best … Read more
Create a file specifically for W3 Total Cache configuration for your site, in a location Nginx/PHP-FPM can write to. Include this file in your site’s Nginx server configuration. Then on the General Settings page, under Miscellaneous provide the full path to this file in the “Nginx server configuration file path” field. W3TC will then know … Read more
Look for a cache folder in the plug-in directory, wp-content directory or the themes directory and delete it.
It may seem a bit of an odd question … but it does have a bit of an easy answer. I’ve been using W3 Total Cache on a multi-server setup for WordPress for 6+ months. For this project we decided to use memcached and not varnish. About WC Total Cache and CDN In W3 Total … Read more
This won’t work if page caching is enabled, I would recommend creating an ajax request which calls this function instead. e.g. add_action( “wp_ajax_nopriv_view_count”, ‘view_count’ ); add_action( “wp_ajax_view_count”, ‘view_count’ ); function view_count(){ update_post_meta($_GET[‘id’], ‘view_count’, $count++); } (then create an ajax call in JS which passes through the page id to this counting function) Ajax shouldn’t be … Read more
