Setting issues – need to change wp-php?

    Hi
    I tried to post this comment on the plugin developer’s website – only to see that “this comment cannot be saved – please try again later” – which is not helpful and I’ve tried several times.

    Perhaps someone on this forum will be able to help.

    1. when I change the Cache Enabler settings, I get this message:

    define(‘WP_CACHE’, true) ; is not set in wp-config.php

    so I can’t tell what settings is the plugin working on. I wasn’t aware that I need to make any changes in the php file in order to run this plugin. I’m not a developer, so this is an issue for me.

    2. What exactly is the difference between “Clear URL Cache” and “Clear Cache” options in the top bar in my WP dashboard?

    I would appreciate your advice.

    thanks

    Hi,

    1. This means that Cache Enabler is not bypassing PHP since define('WP_CACHE', true); wasn’t able to be added to your wp-config.php file. This usually results in slightly slower load times. Although it’s not necessary, you can either add that snippet manually to your config file or change the file permissions and re-install the plugin.

    2. Clear URL Cache clears the cache for only the URL that you’re currently on. Clear Cache clears the cache for the entire site.

    Hi
    thanks for your reply.

    Well, it is actually necessary as the plugin does not let me change the settings (they are blocked).

    I’m not a developer – could you explain please where exactly do I need to insert this snippet? or change the file permissions?

    many thanks 🙂

    You need to open your wp-config.php file and add the snippet to the top of that file. I’d recommend asking your hosting provider to help you if you’re unable to do it yourself.

    once I know where to go I can do it myself.
