Title: [Plugin: W3 Total Cache] Random 404 Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: W3 Total Cache] Random 404 * [jmeeter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jmeeter/) * (@jmeeter) * [14 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-random-404/) * I am getting random 404 pages on my site with _Disk: Enhanced_ enabled. A cache refresh usually fixes this problem but in turn cause more random 404s. * I am using the dev release of the plugin (as recommended by the developer) and latest version of WordPress. * Site: [http://electrojams.com/](http://electrojams.com/) * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/w3-total-cache/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/w3-total-cache/) Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * [Julian Fernandes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hitoriix/) * (@hitoriix) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-random-404/#post-2786559) * I’m also having the same issue. Using LiteSpeed as my webserver, with Disk: Enhanced and Disk giving me random 404 from time to time, that only get fixed when i refresh cache. * Things are getting so bad that the 404 page is in the top 5 pages most see on the blog! Using latest version of WP and W3 Total Cache. * First i thought it was something with my server, but on a test VPS i have with Ubuntu 12.04 + Nginx + APC + Varnish + Percona MySQL, i’m getting the random 404 too… * Any help about it? I love W3 Total Cache and i won’t stop using it… but i’m losing trafic because of this error, and it seems W3 Total Cache is the cause :/ * [knightnet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/knightnet/) * (@knightnet) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-random-404/#post-2786565) * I get 404’s on minified JS & CSS if I try to use APC. It seems to work OK with Disk Enhanced. * [Jawillde](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jawillde/) * (@jawillde) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-random-404/#post-2786566) * I’ve encountered the same problem even using MemcacheD. * [toutlunivers](https://wordpress.org/support/users/toutlunivers/) * (@toutlunivers) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-random-404/#post-2786652) * I’m also having the same issue than Julian Fernandes. Julian did you solve your problem ? Thanks * [Julian Fernandes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hitoriix/) * (@hitoriix) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-random-404/#post-2786653) * [@toutlunivers](https://wordpress.org/support/users/toutlunivers/) I’m not using Page cache anymore. Right now i use Nginx with microcache mounted on a RAM partition. * I only use W3 Total Cache for minify, CDN and DB cache. * [nickaster](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickaster/) * (@nickaster) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-random-404/#post-2786688) * This problem has come back for me too… has been plaguing the site for a little over a week and I’ve tried almost every permutation I can think of to get to the bottom of it. * What’s really odd is that the plugin worked great for over a year, then one day just started throwing random 404s… seems most commonly on recently published posts. * Absolutely no idea what’s causing it… and very hard to test because it can be hours after any change that the 404s start popping up again. * [xl32](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xl32/) * (@xl32) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-random-404/#post-2786689) * Please check with a fix for [NGINX config here](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/major-bug-in-nginx-configuration-code-leads-to-404-on-all-pages?replies=1). * [nickaster](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickaster/) * (@nickaster) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-random-404/#post-2786692) * Anyone see this problem while using Yoast SEO plugin? * I’m still having these darn things and am trying desperately to figure out what the conflict is. The most complex plugin I have is Yoast SEO … but it’s a bear to turn it off for the 24-48 hours needed to test. * [nickaster](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickaster/) * (@nickaster) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-random-404/#post-2786693) * Does anyone know a way to write a script that, say, clears the cache every 10 minutes? I’m losing my mind about this problem. I have a truly unusable site because of these 404s and still no solution in site… Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) The topic ‘[Plugin: W3 Total Cache] Random 404’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/w3-total-cache/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=1041806) * [W3 Total Cache](https://wordpress.org/plugins/w3-total-cache/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/w3-total-cache/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/w3-total-cache/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/w3-total-cache/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/w3-total-cache/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/w3-total-cache/reviews/) * 9 replies * 7 participants * Last reply from: [nickaster](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickaster/) * Last activity: [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-random-404/#post-2786693) * Status: not resolved
