    Hello,
    I am using WP-Members since long and I am very pleased with your plugin but recently I added a cache plugin (WPfastestcache) and this cache displays other pages than the connection one as if the user is NOT logged in !

    I am not technical but I can easily understand that the cache and your plugin should be compatible to keep my site running as before (with no cache).

    Is WP-Members compatible with any cache plugin I could use ?

    Thanks for your help

    WP-Members’ primary logic of whether a user is logged in or not uses WP’s core is_user_logged_in() function. So from a compatibility standpoint, in general if a cache is compatible with WP, it’s compatible with WP-Members.

    That being said, there is almost no instance where a cache will not need some kind of configuration when you are dealing with a membership site (WP-Members or otherwise). This is because pages and/or content have different states of display – whether for a logged in or logged out user. How you handle that will vary based on the cache used.

    For the most part, you should make sure you’re able to apply exclusions in the cache setup. Exclude any core membership function pages such as login and registration. But you should also be careful about whether cached content is served for logged in users or not. This is because the cache will most often cache the logged out state of a blocked page.

    Hello,
    thanks for your explanations !
    I understand you can’t or doesn’t want to mention a cache plugin that works with WP-Members; I’ll try to find/test some based on info you kindly provided but it looks it will not be an easy way…
