admin-ajax.php cache

My site uses WPML. There is an issue with its currency switcher. WPML support said LS cached admin-ajax.php file. I am not sure where I can exclude file. Below is their reply:

We have found that the issue is caused by the configuration of the LS Cache plugin, because disabling it solves the problem. Our 2nd-tier specialists recommended excluding the admin-ajax.php file from cache.

If the LS Cache plugin indeed excludes the admin-ajax.php file (this is something you need to ask them), then you must contact them to get the correct configuration for their plugin so the currency switcher can work as expected.

No, this is different. ajax search is solve after I rebuilt the server which was related to Bricks builder’s ajax search function. This one requested by WPML. This issue didn’t solve yet.

@litetim,

WPML support replied:

The Rest API has no impact on the language switcher. The site/WPML is not fetching any info from an external server via the Rest API when switching currencies.

I’d recommend explaining to them that if LS Cache is deactivated, the currency switcher works correctly, so there must be another configuration causing this behavior.

you are not using WPML’s multi-currency ( WCML ) ? because it supposed to set cookies for currency but I don’t see it , how did you create the mutli-currency ?

I use “WPML Multilingual & Multicurrency for WooCommerce”, because I set show currencies based on site language, not client location, so there is no currency cookie.

huh ? how do you pair 7 currencies over 2 languages

anyway , this will require cookie to differentiate the currency properly

@litetim I think “AJAX Cache TTL” may be more related to what WPML mentioned, but I didn’t see a “admin-ajax.php/?action=*” in browser console, just “admin-ajax.php”.

I am not sure the mechanism WPML uses regarding the currency control.

@qtwrk Thanks. I assume this will create 2 * 7 variations of page, right?

I see. I will check with WPML if there is a way to expose “ajax action” in the url. Then no need for cookie way, right?

no , either way this will require a cookie to set like an “anchor” to properly differentiate the language and currency

in the past I have been spent quite some time and effort on this issue , but due to technical limitation , there is no other way out 🙁
