Best way NOT to cache specific pages

  • Hi,

    I understand that a WooCommerce site should NOT cache the cart, checkout and my-account pages. But what is the best method?

    [a] Using the Accepted Filenames & Rejected URIs section and adding the following to the strings area:-
    /cart/
    /checkout/
    /my-account/

    or

    [b] Use the secret ?donotcachepage=nnnnnnnnnn code – I tried this by adding it to the slug and it makes an ugly URI and reveals the secret code … so not sure if I did that right.

  • For the poster, or anyone else that keeps coming to this posting because it’s in the top 5 google results for “wp super cache secret key” – (even though this post doesn’t answer that question – ugh, google why does everyone think you’re so fabulous?)

    Adding it to the slug is indeed correct, and since it’s obviously not all that secret (haha, that’s actually the secret)… you can change the secret key to something very easy so you can add it easily to any slug to view the uncached version of the page.

    (I wouldn’t have spent an hour and a half trying to find the explanation of how to use the “secret key” if it wasn’t obviously so not secret by putting it in the slug! I thought for sure I was supposed to put it somewhere on the page or a custom field or something, but nowhere on the web could I find any explanation.)

    lol – my post was almost a year ago … and this is the first and only response. What does that tell you, I wonder?

    That we are the only 2 people on the planet that questioned that secret key that wasn’t all that secret so why is it called a secret key? LOL

    No matter what variety of terms I googled, this post came up in the first 5 results every time. And I’m a bit of a wordsmith for that kind of thing.

    How great would it be if Google could figure out that when we all click the back button within 10 seconds of hitting a website, it probably means that search result was USELESS! Hopefully now this result will be worthy ??
