WP-Optimize generally works without any issues with the7 WordPress theme and Slider Revolution. The problem you’re experiencing might be due to specific configurations or conflicts. Here are some technical steps you can try:
- Adjust Cache Settings:
- Go to WP-Optimize > Cache and ensure the cache lifespan is set appropriately. Typically, a lifespan of 10-12 hours is a good balance. Increasing the cache lifespan can reduce server load by minimizing the frequency of cache refreshes. However, if you’re experiencing issues with stale cache, try a shorter duration but monitor the server load to ensure it remains manageable. Adjust based on your site’s traffic and server capacity.
- Exclude Specific URLs:
- Exclude the URLs related to the7 theme pages and Slider Revolution from caching. Go to WP-Optimize > Cache > Advanced Settings > List URLs that should not be cached and add the paths of these pages. This is necessary because dynamic content generated by these components might not function correctly when cached, leading to display or functionality issues.
- Disable Minification:
- If minification is enabled, try disabling it. Minification can sometimes cause issues with themes and plugins because it alters the code structure, potentially breaking scripts and styles. Go to WP-Optimize > Cache > Minify and turn off HTML, CSS, and JavaScript minification to see if this resolves the issue.
- Update Everything:
- Ensure WP-Optimize, the7 theme, and Slider Revolution are updated to their latest versions. Updates often include bug fixes and improvements that can resolve compatibility issues.
- Clear Cache:
- Clear the cache manually after making changes. Go to WP-Optimize > Cache and click on “Purge Cache”. Also, clear your browser cache to ensure you’re seeing the latest version of your site.
- Check for Plugin Conflicts:
- Deactivate all other plugins except WP-Optimize, the7 theme, and Slider Revolution to identify any conflicts. This step is important because other plugins might interfere with caching functionality, causing compatibility issues or conflicts. By reactivating them one by one, you can pinpoint any problematic plugins and address the conflict specifically.
- Check Server Settings:
- Ensure your server settings are not conflicting with WP-Optimize. This is important because server-side caching (e.g., Varnish, NGINX) can interfere with plugin-based caching, potentially leading to conflicts or duplicated caching efforts. Make sure these server-side caches are configured properly to work with WP-Optimize. If you use Cloudflare, ensure that it is set up correctly to complement your caching settings rather than override or conflict with them.
- Review Error Logs:
- Check your server’s error logs for any specific errors related to WP-Optimize, the7 theme, or Slider Revolution. This can provide insights into what might be causing the issue.
By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the caching issues. If the problem persists, please let us know for further assistance.
