 * Hi, while the plugins worked relatively fine in my first tests, I encountered
   quickly some caching issues.
    With W3 total cache, despite the creation of a 
   Cookie groupe as explained
 *     ```
       pda_protect_password
       wp-postpass-role_*
       ```
   
 * I still see the “not well configured” red flag.
 * I finally disabled this password plugin totally because I had too many caching
   issues. Even after deactivating all custom cache plugins I saw some issues. Maybe
   is the cache hold on server side without any ability to clean this up (it’s a
   shared hosting) ?
 * I changed of strategy to show a blank page at homepage instead for now.

 * Hi [@tdechangy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tdechangy/),
 * Thanks for reaching out to us last night.
 * Actually, the latest Free version of our Password Protect WordPress (PPWP) works
   nicely with W3 Total Cache without any extra cookies configurations.
 * Our team has just done another test and it works correctly on our side.
 * It could be a cache issue on yours.
 * Can you please drop us an email to hello(at)preventdirectaccess.com with some
   sample URLs so that we can take a look and troubleshoot the issue quickly for
   you?

 * Thanks for the quick reply.
 * For now I switched to another solution and couldn’t take time to reactivate this
   very specific feature/plugin.
 * I’ll write back if someday I have to address the same problem.
 * Regards.
