 * I have an issue with the WPEngine advanced caching plugin
    With the plugin enabled
   the issue is present – With plugin disabled the issue is not present. I am unable
   to 1 – save vendor settings in vendor prodashboard > settings and 2 – unable 
   to upload new images in product management (An error occurred in the upload. 
   Please try again later.) I had, therefore, disabled the caching plugin – having
   updated to the latest version Version 1.3.0 I was rather hoping that this would
   be a fix I have update, cleared cache and retested Unfortunately the problems
   still exists
 * I have also tried in staging area – problem exists still
 * Wp Version 4.9.4
    Woocommerce Version 3.3.2 WPE advanced cache Version 1.3.0 
   WCVendors pro Version 1.4.6
 * Only way to see this would be to login as a vendor, I can send test vendor login
   if required
    (NB – I have the whole site set to basic 3 x plugins and storefront
   whilst this and another issue is debugged) Any further info/help would be much
   appreciated or should I start a new thread for these issues?
 * Thank you
    Iain

 * Hey Iain,
 * These are all things that occur on the admin portal correct? Nothing that would
   be a front end user?
 * Are there any warnings or errors being reported in the logs on the site with 
   the plugin enabled?
 * If possible, could you provide me with the install ID of the WP Engine installation?
   I should be able to dig in some more with that if that is okay. If you’d prefer
   you can provide me that information in an email.

 * It must be a day ending in the letter “Y”… I think this is my 4th one today…
 * Please don’t do that, if the author takes you up on that then they risk getting
   into real trouble in these forums.

 * Admin details. If plugin authors want to share their email (they shouldn’t but
   it is permitted) that’s fine. Regular users? No. 😉

 * Hey Iain,
 * I think I figured it out. It looks to be due to the plugin building out the admin
   class on admin-ajax hits.
 * Updating this line to check if it’s an admin hit but not an admin ajax hit seemed
   solve the problem, which makes sense to me.

 * I’ll run it by Steven and see what I can do to get an update out to prevent this
   sort of thing from occurring.

 * After sleeping on this, the above solution isn’t a good option since it breaks
   the Ajax functionality on the backend.
 * I am not completely sure why creating the class on ajax calls is breaking that
   upload functionality, but I’ll continue seeing if there is anything else that
   stands out.

 * Ok, Thanks for the update
    Fingers crossed for a fix in the near future 🙂 Regards
