# Problems on admin side

* Hi Salvatore,
* We just tested your plugin yesterday. Everything seems to be working perfectly
fine from what we tested. Every URL is well purged after editing, adding a comment,
etc.
* But we had some trouble :
* 1 – My webmaster tested the plugin. He installed it as he was connected as Admin.
This morning, I tried to connect to my login URL, and it was impossible, I tried
several time, but it keeps redirecting me. Here [what I was seeing](https://ibb.co/p4r1Nmk).
My webmaster tried to log out and his side and when he tried to log in again,
the problem was the same. We had to deactivate the plugin with FTP to be able
to log in again both. Could it be related to some settings, the page rules we
set-up, etc?
* 2 – When we tested the plugin, we tried to edit a post and save the edit. On
the visitor side, it’s working perfectly and the cache was purged. When on the
admin, we couldn’t see the edit right now. We have to reload the page to see
the change.
* If I may ask 3 other questions :
* – As there is an admin bypass, is this necessary to hide the admin bar when login
or not?
– Before trying your plugin, I had set-up 3 rules inside Cloudflare (
Cache Everything rules, preview rules, and /wp-admin/* rules). Do I need to set
up again this page rules? I guess not?
* – I’m also using this plugin ([https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/cloudflare/](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/cloudflare/)).
Do I really need it now with yours or can I delete it ?
* Thanks for your help,
* Sylvain

* Hi [@lesdeuxpiedsdehors](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lesdeuxpiedsdehors/),
* 1. The “redirect_to” is not added from WP Cloudflare Super Page Cache. Maybe
the wp-login page was cached? I need the link to verify with cURL.
* 2. You should see a cache-buster parameter – swcfpc by default – that allows
you to see always a fresh version of the page when logged in. If not, you are
seeing a cached version of the page that, for a little time, is cached also on
client cache
(60 seconds by default, reason why you had to force the refresh).
Maybe I forgot to add the cache-buster in some link on admin panel, so please
tell me what link you click after editing a post 🙂

by this plugin.

> Do I really need it now with yours or can I delete it ?
* If you use it only for cache-purging, you can disable ’cause this fuctionality
is already part of this plugin.
* Let me know, goodbye!

* Hi again [@lesdeuxpiedsdehors](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lesdeuxpiedsdehors/),
about the second question, I forgot to add the cache buster for the link into
the little popup you see after clicking on the publish/update button, so if that
is the link you click to see the edited post, I already fixed. You have only
to wait the next update I hope to do this week

* Hi [@salvatorefresta](https://wordpress.org/support/users/salvatorefresta/) !
* Thanks for your answer. We tested what you said, and seems to be working at first.
we tested the cache at first inside your plugin and it worked. Thenafter, don’t
know what happenned, I tried to verify the cache again and, I had [this error](https://zupimages.net/up/20/18/ebjt.png).
* I tried to check the HTTP response headers and I hadn’t found anything like x-
wp-cf-super-cache and x-wp-cf-super-cache-active.
* I tested the page on GT Metrix, and there wasn’t any leverage caching. Here the
report: [https://gtmetrix.com/reports/lesdeuxpiedsdehors.com/8P5tA1cZ](https://gtmetrix.com/reports/lesdeuxpiedsdehors.com/8P5tA1cZ)
* For now, I have deactivated the plugin to be sure. Can you help with this?
Thanks,
Sylvain

* If you didn’t found any of these response headers, the cache is not enabled or
something strips out the headers. Can you activate the plugin so I can test with
cURL?
* Are you using also W3TC?
* You said in your first post “Everything seems to be working perfectly”. It’s
strange that all works fine without these two headers.
* Regarding leverage caching problem, it’s normal (there is also a FAQ in the main
page on WordPress respository), infact there is an option to add the browser
caching rules into your .htaccess file or as alternative you can use another
performance plugin to doing this (wp-rocket or many others).
* I’m here to help you 😉

* HI [@salvatorefresta](https://wordpress.org/support/users/salvatorefresta/) 🙂
* I’m here. I just activated right now the plugin. Her’s [my website](https://lesdeuxpiedsdehors.com/).
* Please let me know 🙂
* If you need admin access, i can give you or settings from cloudafre ?
* PS : for now, I haven’t deleted the page rule in CF.
PS 2 : I’m not using W3TC
but WP Rocket

* What’s weird is I tried to enable caching now. I’ve got [this error](https://ibb.co/K9Hsb49).
* Is it because I didn’t delete the page rules in CF ?
* Plus, I got a weird bug, I activated the plugin with API etc. but every time
I try to go to the settings again, I have to redo again everything (API, choose
the domain). Strange

* Ok, quick follow up on my matter.I have activated the plugin
* 1) The error above was there because I haven’t deleted my pages rules in CF account(
sorry it was in your FAQ!)
2) Since it’s done, i got [this](https://zupimages.net/up/20/18/370o.png).
3) Then I tried to “test cache” and I got [this message](https://zupimages.net/up/20/18/0mqd.png)
so everything seems fine 4) The problem I had before (that I needed to enter
again all the information) is gone so it was related to the fact that I was having
an error message 5) I now just checked my HTTP response headers in incognito
mode but I can’t see x-wp-cf-super-cache and/or x-wp-cf-super-cache-active 6)
A small thing I found too. If I click to start preloader it’s working fine. There
is a word in Italien [here](https://zupimages.net/up/20/18/jh10.png) 😉 7) About
browser caching, I use Wp Rocket, but I’m not sure it’s handled by it for sure.
In your plugin, I guess you’re talking about [this option](https://zupimages.net/up/20/18/iel2.png)?
So, I guess, I can use this option on your plugin and delete WP Rocket?
* What I found strange is that, with your plugin activated and the browser cache
option ON, is still have this error “leverage browser caching” on [GT metrix](https://gtmetrix.com/reports/lesdeuxpiedsdehors.com/atvwztdp).
ANd I’ve got an “expired cache from AO”. With the option off, it’s working fine(
Hit status on AO). But before, i tried to deactivate the plugin and only use
Cloudfare and my [browser cache handle](https://gtmetrix.com/reports/lesdeuxpiedsdehors.com/K3iLoID1).
I need to found a sure way to handle browser caching with/without WP Rocket and/
or CF and/or your plugin. But so far, I don’t know how with your plugin.
* Speak to you later. If you want to have a more closely look at my set-up, let
me know.

* I also noticed some bugs on the preview mode inside WordPress, when logged in.
Even with the option “Bypass the cache for logged-in users” it seems not working
properly.
* – If I work on a layout as a draft in WP and I click Preview, I can’t see the
change, even I refresh the page.
– Plus, I also noticed if I save the draft,
all the changes that I’ve made aren’t saved at all and every time I go back to
the old draft version. I don’t understand what’s happening.
* Any help would be much appreciated 🙂

the cache is correctly bypassed:

* Yes for the first question. If you use WP Rocket only for browser caching, you
can deactivate it. If you use it for other optimizations, such like css minification,
lazy loading etc., keep it active.

* When you click on Preview, did you see the cache buster (swcfpc=1 parameter)
on link?

* Uhm.. if on your bachend the cf-cache-status is not HIT, this should not be a
problem to be attributed to WP Cloudflare Super Page Cache.

* Hy,
* Thank you for taking the time to answer me on a Sunday 🙂
* It’s been weird what has been going on since yesterday, suddenly everything is
going well and 2/3 hours later, I have the problems above. Has this site happened
to others this type of error?
* I did a cache test and I got a message “Cache status: EXPIRED – Try again”
Do
you know where it comes from?

* **Cache status: EXPIRED** means that the resource was in the Cloudlfare’s cache
but is expired. If you try to visit the resource again, it should be served again
from Cloudflare’s cache.
* The expiration time depends from the s-maxage value (seconds) you can setup from
the settings page of the plugin.
* However, it may happen that Cloudflare prematurely deletes from its cache infrequently
accessed content. In this case you can use another page caching plugin as fallback
if Cloudflare deletes content prematurely.
* I’m developing a fallback page caching system to integrate in next releases 😉

* HI Savtaore,
* Maybe I didn’t explain myself very clearly 🙂 My webmaster and I both tried to
install the plugin. I personally tested yesterday afternoon and at first, it
was working fine at first and the correct Http response in the header. I even
did a test on gt metrix to be sure and its was ok : [https://gtmetrix.com/reports/lesdeuxpiedsdehors.com/UnAHrCiI](https://gtmetrix.com/reports/lesdeuxpiedsdehors.com/UnAHrCiI)
* Later, I did another test as I was having a major bug in my admin panel. I couldn’
see any more what I was doing. I mean I’m sure my admin wasn’t bypassed as I
couldn’t see the change in the preview (the swcfpc was gone). If tried to saved
a draft, it’s saving and then going back to an old cached version of my admin
panel a few hours later. I was working on another plugin (Ninja tables) and it
was the same, it was not working at alt. I couldn’t add data and save. Every
time I refreshed the page, all the modifications I just did was gone and I only
can see an old version of my admin page. I was stuck. I checked my gt metrix
and your cache wasn’t working anymore, no response in the header : [https://gtmetrix.com/reports/lesdeuxpiedsdehors.com/OIGTV0R0](https://gtmetrix.com/reports/lesdeuxpiedsdehors.com/OIGTV0R0)
* Here’s a quick video of what happened : [http://www.grosfichiers.com/pS9Wt2miWHF](http://www.grosfichiers.com/pS9Wt2miWHF)
* It has happened to us two times: first, it’s working fine a few hours, and after
it seems that the cache isn’t working and the admin isn’t bypassed anymore. I’m
then stuck inside my own admin panel as it’s showing me only an old version of
the admin cached. So in my humble opinion, there is something wrong.
* Can you have a look more closely at it?
* Thanks,
Sylvain

* I have surfed your website and I see that ajax requests and wp-admin pages are
regularly bypassed. From the video it’s not clear if the problem is due to the
cache or to a possible PHP conflict with the plugin you are using or something
else.
* As guest I see everything working regularly and I cannot replicate this problem
on any of my over 150 websites.
* I have no in-depth information to help you more than that. I should see it from
the inside but by WordPress regulation I can’t ask you to access the backend

where the problem was but it was impossible to work for me sadly.
