# [Plugin: W3 Total Cache] tinyMCEcomments

 * The plugin TinyMCEComments doesn’t seem compatible and I can’t work out why.
   
   [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tinymcecomments/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tinymcecomments/)
 * If I’m not logged in, like any user, then the little MCE bold/italic and other
   buttons do not appear. When logged in as admin, it does work.
 * I can simulate the effect for admin use by adding its two js files to the Minify
   setting.

       http://pwnwear.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/tiny_mce.js?ver=20081129
       ```
   
 * I have no idea how to solve this, any help would be appreciated. My users really
   like having an MCE editor for their comments.

 * These files cannot be minified (and not all can be. So please remove them from
   your settings. You can contact the plugin author to ask them to update their 
   code so that it stands up to minification, but this is not a bug I can fix in
   the minify library used by W3TC without breaking other things that are working
   fine.

 * Ahhh I see, thank you. I didn’t realise it could just be flat-out incompatible
   with Minify.
 * Is there an ‘exclude this code’ section somewhere I am missing, so I can prevent
   w3tc from trying?

 * Before I assume you were talking about JS minification. If you were, simply don’t
   include the files there. If the problem persists then I have to assume you are
   using HTML minify, so you can try it’s various settings, but in all likelihood
   cannot use it either.

 * Yes, I was talking about JS. I double-checked and have not got the tinyMCEcomments
   being minified nor css combined; it’s not there.
 * Yet, when I am logged out mcecomments do not work, when I am logged in they do
   work. The settings “Don’t cache pages for logged in users” does not change this
   behaviour.
 * Any ideas then on how I exclude it from being effected? Seems peculiar.

 * Can you humor me and empty page cache and then browser cache (using ctrl + shift
   + del for most browsers. Also provide a specific page that shows the issue.

 * I downloaded a new browser (Opera), cleared its cache, then went to this page:
   
   [http://pwnwear.com/2010/02/01/sad-elitism-and-my-own-disclaimer/](http://pwnwear.com/2010/02/01/sad-elitism-and-my-own-disclaimer/)
 * On that page, the tinymcecomments do not appear in the add comment box.
 * Settings, in JS file management I have, in default group:
    `wowhead/js/armory.
   js.php` (footer not blocking) `http://pwnwear.com/wp-content/plugins/use-google-
   libraries/js/jQnc.js?ver=2.9.1`(header)
 * No others. I have a few CSS listed in their section, but not from mcecomments.
   
   Then, when I log in, the mcecomments work again in Opera.
 * Thanks for humouring me; I know it’s not an end-of-the-world problem, but would
   be interesting to solve.

 * Disable minification of all JS files and retest.

 * Deleted all JS files, retested: same behaviour.
 * Disabled Minify altogether, retested: same behaviour.
 * Disabled W3TC altogether…. still broken.
 * Soooooo…. looks like something _ELSE_ changed to break mcecomments at the same
   time as I installed W3TC, so I mistakenly attributed the breaking to the cache.
   Now I’ve got to isolate the problem (again).

 * Here’s an alternative I found that WORKS.
    [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/pretty-comments/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/pretty-comments/)
 * You can edit which buttons it shows by editing jquery.wysiwyg.js, in there look
   for “TOOLBAR”

 * I ahve the same problem since i installed WP total cache. After I disable it 
   it persists and now i cant freaking fix it! It started imediately after installing
   WP total cache and if i click anyhting in the tinymce the requires a pop up window
   like the hyper link or the paste text only window etc it just shows up white 
   and has a yellow java error in the bottom corner… what can i do to fix this? 
   it has to be total cache breaking it cause it didnt start till I installed it.
   I get a java error on my website too but doesnt seem to effect anything so i 
   just ignored it. Only happens after installing wp total cache. please help

 * Can you submit a bug submission report from the support tab of the plugin?
