Title: Using with Cache Plugin Last modified: July 26, 2020 --- # Using with Cache Plugin * [iSaumya](https://wordpress.org/support/users/isaumya/) * (@isaumya) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-with-cache-plugin-2/) * Hi, While reading the FAQ section I saw that it is mentioned that the plugin doesn’t work correctly with cache plugins. Is that true? We use Cloudflare intensely and also use the WP Cloudflare Super Page Cache plugin to ensure Cloudflare cache everything and then the plugin also has a fallback cache. I was wondering if there is a way to use the power-up with cache plugins. Just bought the expensive subscription now. Also if we setup up manual cron job instead of relying on wp- cron, what should be the time interval after which the corn should be executed?

God knows how much more time it is going to take. I have disabled fallback cache, page cache and even paused Cloudflare thinking as soon as these CSS gets generated I will simply turn then back on. But after 40-50 minutes down the line, still, the queue is exactly as it was before. Nothing changed. 🙁 * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-with-cache-plugin-2/#post-13171009) * that implies you have jobs in the queue, right? in that case the issue is not with (page) cache, but with cron; the job queue processing is not kicking in. how are you doing cron? * Thread Starter [iSaumya](https://wordpress.org/support/users/isaumya/) * (@isaumya) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-with-cache-plugin-2/#post-13171089) * Yes the jobs are in the the queue. I’ve disabled wp cron on the site and runs manual cron job at the server level every minute. * Thread Starter [iSaumya](https://wordpress.org/support/users/isaumya/) * (@isaumya) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-with-cache-plugin-2/#post-13171151) * In my `wp-config.php` I have `define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true);` and enabled CRON at the server level to run the `wp-cron.php` every minute. Is there anything else that needed to be done in order for the plugin to work? * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-with-cache-plugin-2/#post-13171809) * well, did (or can) you install wp crontrol and do [the checks mentioned in the FAQ](https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize-criticalcss/#i%20only%20see%20(one%20%E2%80%9Cp%E2%80%9D%20and%20multiple)%20%E2%80%9Cn%E2%80%9D%20jobs%20and%20no%20rules%20and%20i%E2%80%99m%20getting%20%E2%80%9Cwordpress%20cron%E2%80%9D-warnings%2C%20what%20should%20i%20do%3F)? * Thread Starter [iSaumya](https://wordpress.org/support/users/isaumya/) * (@isaumya) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-with-cache-plugin-2/#post-13171813) * Yes I did. I have been using that plugin to monitor. The crazy thing is that despite having system level wp corn setup as soon as I add disable cron line in wp config the css queue cron job is automatically getting repoved. The only way to get that cron job back is to disable and enable the power up plugin. 😟 * Thread Starter [iSaumya](https://wordpress.org/support/users/isaumya/) * (@isaumya) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-with-cache-plugin-2/#post-13171842) * I think there is some bug in the plugin after running the css_queue corn job for couple of times it is simply getting auto removed from the corn even list no matter what I do. * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-with-cache-plugin-2/#post-13171843) * but the power-up is deprecated, critical CSS is now entirely part of AO as of 2.7.0? try with the power-up deactivated and if need be add the cron job manually on tools -> cron events -> add cron event? * Thread Starter [iSaumya](https://wordpress.org/support/users/isaumya/) * (@isaumya) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-with-cache-plugin-2/#post-13171924) * [@optimizingmatters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) After getting rid of the power up, I can see the the `ao_ccss_queue` Cron job is always stuck at now for some reason. * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-with-cache-plugin-2/#post-13172323) * ok, can you enable “debug logging” and provide me with your site’s URL so I can have a look at the logs? * Thread Starter [iSaumya](https://wordpress.org/support/users/isaumya/) * (@isaumya) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-with-cache-plugin-2/#post-13172371) * Can I share those details via the email we are having conversation?
