Title: Exclude Dynamic Menu and Shortcode Content Last modified: August 24, 2020 --- # Exclude Dynamic Menu and Shortcode Content * Resolved [Law](https://wordpress.org/support/users/laucoste/) * (@laucoste) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-dynamic-menu-and-shortcode-content/) * Hi, * I need to exclude parts of my homepage from cache. * On my homepage, the elements to exclude from cache are : 1- A dynamic menu : Variable if the user is logged in or logged out 2- A dynamic content placed thanks to a shortcode * 1> For the menu, how to exclude it from the cache ? To manage login status, I use the plugin “User Menus”. May I use the “ESI Nonces” for that ? * 2> For the dynamic content with the shortcode, I know about the ‘esi’ to include in a shortcode ([https://www.litespeedtech.com/support/wiki/doku.php/litespeed_wiki:cache:lscwp:configuration:esi:shortcode](https://www.litespeedtech.com/support/wiki/doku.php/litespeed_wiki:cache:lscwp:configuration:esi:shortcode)), but how to manage it for my use case ? * Thank you for your help, Regards, Law Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * Plugin Support [qtwrk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/qtwrk/) * (@qtwrk) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-dynamic-menu-and-shortcode-content/#post-13304858) * Hi, * 1) you can try to use “cache login user” , that will make 2 caches , 1 for guest user, 1 for login user * 2) what do you mean how to manage it ? ESI shortcode didn’t work ? * Best regards, * Thread Starter [Law](https://wordpress.org/support/users/laucoste/) * (@laucoste) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-dynamic-menu-and-shortcode-content/#post-13305403) * Hi, * 1/ Thank you 2/ Oh I should have misunderstood how it works. So on a cached page, put [esi shortcode …] will not cache the content of ‘shortcode’ ? If it is that, that’s perfect. * Regards, Law * Plugin Support [qtwrk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/qtwrk/) * (@qtwrk) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-dynamic-menu-and-shortcode-content/#post-13305442) * Hi, * Yes, on a cached page * for example you have a block `[something]` , page cached and this code won’t be changing * and then if you make it , `[esi something ttl="0"]` , then this block will no be cached while parent page can still be cached. * and , in other case, `[esi something ttl="3600"]` , then this block will be cached for one hour * and so on. * but currently , ESI shortcode only works with single shortcode, some plugin uses short code like this `[some]xxx[/some]` , in this case, ESI won’t work properly * Best regards, * Thread Starter [Law](https://wordpress.org/support/users/laucoste/) * (@laucoste) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-dynamic-menu-and-shortcode-content/#post-13305574) * perfect, many thanks ! * Thread Starter [Law](https://wordpress.org/support/users/laucoste/) * (@laucoste) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-dynamic-menu-and-shortcode-content/#post-13311922) * Hi, * So I’ve tried : – Activate ESI button – Put my shortcode with `ttl="604800"` * But it made my website incredibly slow, and timeouts in the Admin. * When I removed the shortcode, the site remained very slow. It’s been solved when disabling ESI. * Would you see some incompatibilities of ESI with Cloudflare that I use, or with something else ? * Thank you, Regards, Law * Plugin Support [qtwrk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/qtwrk/) * (@qtwrk) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-dynamic-menu-and-shortcode-content/#post-13313674) * Hi, * ESI won’t effect in wp-admin URL * when you enable ESI, please check in HTML source code , search for keyword “
