# Cache with query string parameters

 * There is a strange behaviour if we activate the “Cache URIs with query string
   variables” checkbox.
    The post is cached correctly with query parameters, but
   if we edit the post in the backend now, it normally should delete the cache for
   this page (with and without the query parameters), but it only clears the cache
   for the page url without query string parameters. It seems that the cache key
   is based on the url in the frontend, but the backend only clears the cache for
   the url without query string parameters. Is there any workaround/fix for this
   issue?

 * This happen because w3tc purge only the canonical url of the page (without parameters).
   You can’t solve this issue, w3tc doesn’t have this feature. Try to suggest this
   features to the developer with the form in the admin dashboard, or on the community
   version on github [https://github.com/szepeviktor/w3-total-cache-fixed](https://github.com/szepeviktor/w3-total-cache-fixed)
