    Hi,

    thanks for this great plugin, I just want to mention one thing:

    Please do the following steps:
    1. Open a website using WPML (example url provided)
    2. Switch to other language version
    3. Put a product in the cart
    4. Switch back to original website language
    5. Look at the mouseover-box of the cart symbol. This is not shown in the correct language.

    Problem can be viewed in Edge, Firefox and Safari Browser.
    Problem does not exist when caching is turned off. I checked already with WPML support.

    Is it possible, to fix this and check the general compatibility with WPML?

    Thanks a lot!

    Regards
    Matthias

    Unfortunately I don’t use WPML and have very little experience with it. If WPML sets a cookie for the language you could modify the cookie check used by WP Super Cache.

    The searchengine plugin might help you figure this out.

    Hi Donncha,
    thanks for your feedback.

    Is there a chance, to make the super cache plugin compatible with WPML?
    I’ve contacted the WPML support, and they said, that the WPML plugin is already compatible with the supercache plugin.

    If this is not possible, can you please explain a bit more what you mean by “you could modify the cookie check used by WP Super Cache.”

    Thank you!

    You’d have to write a function similar to the one described in the post I just wrote about cookie banners, but substitute the WPML language cookie. That way your site will have separate cache files for each language supported. Have a look here:

    Ok, unfortunately I am not able for doing that. So it have to stay like that, if you cannot change the plugin.
    Thanks for help anyway.

    Hi,

    I’ve contacted the WPML Support and explained them also the problem. I send them this thread and your detailed explanation.
    They are checking this issue on a test environment we set up together to reproduce the problem.
    Within the next hours they are contacting you. I hope this helps to make this important cache plugin compatible with WPML. I think this is very important for many businesses.

    Please have a look at this page from WPML, which they gave me to pass it over to you as the plugin-owner: https://wpml.org/documentation/theme-compatibility/go-global-program/

    Best regards,
    Matthias

    @flipstar99 – This patch I’m working on will make checking for the cookie a lot easier.

    It’s in the development version of the plugin you can download from http://ocaoimh.ie/y/2o

    If https://wpml.org/documentation/support/browser-cookies-stored-wpml/ is right I think you could create wp-content/mu-plugins/wpml-cookie.php with:

    <?php

function add_wpsc_cookies() {
  if ( function_exists( 'wpsc_add_cookie' ) ) {
      wpsc_add_cookie( '_icl_current_language' );
  }
}
add_action( 'init', 'add_wpsc_cookies' );

    And that will make the plugin cache the page correctly. If “_icl_current_language” isn’t the right cookie, you might need to add “_icl_visitor_lang_js” as a second wpsc_add_cookie below the first one.

    Can you test that?

    But unfortunatley the caching is not working since the last update.
    The test failed and I see no pages in the cache. Also the sourcecode of the page says, that the caching is not active.

    Can you please check the compatibility again?

    In the sourcecode of my site it says at the end:

    <!– Dynamic page generated in 2.196 seconds. –>
    <!– Page not cached by WP Super Cache. Check your settings page. Not caching requests by known users. (See Advanced Settings page) –>

    @flipstar99, that wording means that you are currently logged in, and you have the checkbox checked to NOT cache pages for logged in users. Log out and test again.

    It’s related to adding extra cookies. More details – Adding extra cookies make users known and Uses is_user_logged_in() if it’s possible.
