possible Clash with total cache 3

    Good morning JS, Sorry to bug you. I have been experiencing a strange problem. Overnight for some 15 days the loading of the site oceanswardrobe.xen.co.za fails to complete upload in Edge and Firefox. I have tried various methods to find the cause but the only way to get access was to modify the wpsso folder name eg wpsso 1 on the server.

    Once the Folder name is changed the site opens as normal. I then empty the WPtotal cache Caches reactivate Wpsso and all is fine for 12 hrs. Then the problem repeats.
    If I reactivate Wpsso without emptying Total cache the site fails to load.

    To my mind either Wpsso is causing the problem or it is Total cache 3. Both have a cache but Wpsso appears to have control over Total cache inasmuch that one can empty Total cache’s cache from Wpsso. Ergo I thought there may be a problem between the two plugins.
    You may recall that some time back you suggested that I alter the theme Functions Folder filter to accommodate DIVI. I do not know if this has something to do with the problem.

    Your advice is appreciated.
    kind regards
    Hugh.

    WPSSO does not have any known issues / conflicts with any caching plugins or services – it only outputs HTML in the head section (meta tags and JSON) and caching plugins / services cache the page – with or without the WPSSO HTML should make no difference.

    WPSSO uses the WordPress transient cache, which may reside in the database (by default) or in another memory based cache like APC, Xcache, Memcache, etc.

    WPSSO calls w3tc_pgcache_flush_post( $post_id ); when updating a post, along with w3tc_pgcache_flush(); w3tc_objectcache_flush(); when saving its settings *if* the SSO > Advanced > Cache > Clear All Caches on Save Settings option is enabled.

    W3TC is – unfortunately – one of those plugins that has several known bugs / quirks that never seem to get fixed. :-/ They also use a caching technique they call “fragment caching”, which seems to do more harm than good. 🙂

    WPMU has a good tutorial on setting up W3TC, so you may want to review their suggestions: https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/w3-total-cache-settings/
