Title: Random posts with page cache Last modified: July 4, 2018 --- # Random posts with page cache * Resolved [wpkiller](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpkiller/) * (@wpkiller) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/random-posts-with-page-cache/) * Dear Nick, * Thanks again for a great plugin. I’m using it on a client’s front page set to show 5 random posts. * The thing is that with W3TC using page cache – the random won’t work. I had to instruct W3 to not cache the frontpage all together in order for the random to work. This results of course in higher response times for the frontpage. * Any easy workaround maybe? I understand there’s a solution using jQuery or something, but I’m not a full stack programmer unfortunately. At least not yet. 🙁 * TIA.

I didn’t say it’s a problem with the plugin. Thought you might have a workaround. Maybe excluding a js file or something. Thanks anyway. * Plugin Author [oceanwp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oceanwp/) * (@oceanwp) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/random-posts-with-page-cache/#post-10466519) * Ah ok 🙂 Try to exclude this script: /wp-content/plugins/ocean-posts-slider/ assets/js/main.min.js * Thread Starter [wpkiller](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpkiller/) * (@wpkiller) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/random-posts-with-page-cache/#post-10468336) * Unfortunately, there’s no way to exclude a js under page cache. 🙁 I’m using Autoptimize for minification. Tried to exclude the js there, but then the whole posts slider was gone. * Plugin Author [oceanwp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oceanwp/) * (@oceanwp) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/random-posts-with-page-cache/#post-10470204) * Hi, can you send me the page url where you have the problem? * Thread Starter [wpkiller](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpkiller/) * (@wpkiller) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/random-posts-with-page-cache/#post-10473602) * Sure. here: [https://www.thebp.co.il](https://www.thebp.co.il) * Plugin Author [oceanwp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oceanwp/) * (@oceanwp) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/random-posts-with-page-cache/#post-10477505) * Hi, your caching plugin is activated? Because it works on my side. * Thread Starter [wpkiller](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpkiller/) * (@wpkiller) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/random-posts-with-page-cache/#post-10477840) * Sure. 🙂 As I said, I’m turning off the page cache for the front page (there’s such a feature in W3TC). * Plugin Author [oceanwp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oceanwp/) * (@oceanwp) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/random-posts-with-page-cache/#post-10481771) * Hi, I reloaded the page several times, there are no issues, the slider is displayed every time. * Thread Starter [wpkiller](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpkiller/) * (@wpkiller) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/random-posts-with-page-cache/#post-10485304) * Sure. I’ll say it for the 3rd time – I’ve disabled the page cache for the front page. That’s why you don’t see any problem. * If you want, maybe we should set a time frame for me to bring the cache back so you can see it. * Plugin Author [oceanwp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oceanwp/) * (@oceanwp) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/random-posts-with-page-cache/#post-10485309) * You need to activate it, otherwise, I don’t see if there is a problem. I have some minutes now, if you activate it, maybe I can see if there is a JS error in the console. * Thread Starter [wpkiller](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpkiller/) * (@wpkiller) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/random-posts-with-page-cache/#post-10485321) * Great, I’ve activated it now. There are indeed several errors for onloadwff. js file. * Plugin Author [oceanwp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oceanwp/) * (@oceanwp) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/random-posts-with-page-cache/#post-10485323) * It doesn’t work on your side? I checked your site, it works, the slider is displayed. * Thread Starter [wpkiller](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpkiller/) * (@wpkiller) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/random-posts-with-page-cache/#post-10485327) * It is displayed. But it’s set to random. So every page refresh should show different posts. But iot will always show the same posts while cache is on. * Plugin Author [oceanwp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oceanwp/) * (@oceanwp) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/random-posts-with-page-cache/#post-10485331) * Ah yes. Have you tried another caching plugin? Like WP Fastest Cache? Or I recommend WP Rocket, which for me the best caching plugin ou there.
