Quick Cache not working

oh i got the same problem..

@ferdienandp I responded to you on your thread.

@eatnabout It sounds like you’re doing everything right. The next step is to rule out a plugin or theme conflict. Can you provide me with a list of plugins that you’re using?

Also, it looks like you’re running the Weaver II theme. Can you open your Weaver II Admin page, and open the “Advanced Options -> Site Options” tab and tell me if you see anything about Quick Cache in there?

Sure, here’s the list of plugins:

Add from Server
Akismet
CloudFlare
Contextual Related Posts
Custom Post Limits
EWWW Image Optimizer
Facebook Likes You!
FitVids for WordPress
Google Analytics Dashboard for WP
Google Analytics for WordPress
Import External Images
iThemes Security
Jetpack
jQuery Colorbox
Link Manager
mobble
No Title Tooltips
Restrict Widgets
Shareaholic
Simple 301 Redirects
Weaver II Theme Extras
Widget Logic
WordPress SEO
WP-Optimize
WPBeginner’s Compact Archives
WP Widget Cache

My Drop-ins folder shows advancedcache.php and the code in there is related to QuickCache. Also the Advanced Options in Weaver II Admin say Automatic support for Quick Cache has been enabled.

Can you try disabling CloudFlare and see if that makes the Quick Cache notes reappear in the HTML? I noticed when looking at the HTML for your site that there are 4 blank lines at the very bottom, exactly where I’d expect to find the Quick Cache notes. That makes me suspect that Quick Cache is in fact running just fine but that something is stripping out the comments from the HTML.

Do you know if your web host is doing any server-side caching or optimization?

I disabled CloudFlare and the Quick Cache notes then displayed in the page source. So I’m not sure what’s causing it but it must be a conflict with CloudFlare. Is there a way to test while CloudFlare is active to make sure Quick Cache is serving cached pages?

It looks like the CloudFlare plugin has a Development Mode option that when enabled will bypass CloudFlare’s accelerated cache. Enabling that should prevent CloudFlare from stripping the Quick Cache notes from the source code so that you can verify it’s working.

Please see https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200168246-What-does-CloudFlare-Development-mode-mean-

Can you try that and let me know if that works?

Yes, the notes display in Development Mode so I take it this was just an issue of CloudFlare stripping what it deems as unnecessary HTML and that Quick Cache is actually still running with CloudFlare enabled. Thanks for all your prompt replies.

My pleasure! ?? I’m glad we got this resolved.

Hello Raam,

I have a similar problem, also using Cloudflare. I enabled development mode, also completely paused its usage, however i don’t see anything unde the </html> tag.

In addition, i don’t think the plugin is working, since load time has not been reduced and page speed still says i should leverage browser caching!

To be honest, I was always using wp-super-cache, however at some point it stopped working! No i am trying to get quick cache to work, with no luck which leads me to believe something is messing with cache on my website! A very similar(not entirely the same..same plugins,same theme, different WP version), backup version of the website i have seems to have no problem caching, however my live one does!

Do you have any idea what i should be looking for? Is there really something that could be messing with website caching?

p.s. If you would like to take a look at my website please let me know

Sorry for double posting, just wanted to add: I have already tried disabling all plugins with no luck.

It sounds like your web host might be interfering here. I suggest opening a support ticket with your web hosting company and asking them about what might be going on.

In the future, please open your own support thread, as this thread has already been marked as resolved.

My server runs PHP Version 5.3.29, but Quick Cache refuses to activate displaying the following message:

“Quick Cache is NOT active; Quick Cache requires PHP v5.3 (or higher). You’re currently running PHP v5.2.17. A simple update is necessary. Please ask your web hosting company to do this for you. To remove this message, please deactivate Quick Cache.”

Please help.

@lengem Your web host needs to fix this for you. Please open a support ticket with your web hosting company and ask them to upgrade your account to PHP v5.3+.

Thank you Raam for your quick reply.

As I mentioned in the beginning of my previous post, my server runs PHP version 5.3.29. I can provide the screenshot of my cPanel saying PHP version 5.3.29, Apache version 2.2.29, MySQL version 5.5.38.

I don’t know why QC detects my PHP version as 5.2.17 and refuses to activate?

Please help.

Hello Raam,

My hosting company just sent me an email saying they have upgraded my account to PHP v5.4.33. I checked the phpinfo.php. It confirmed the PHP version is 5.4.33.

I reinstalled Quick Cache. Activated it. The same message appeared complaining my server is running PHP v5.2.17 !!!

Please help
