Conflict with WP Rocket cache

    Hi, I have noticed that when using External Links in conjunction with WP Rocket, the output of the cached page is incomplete.

    This happens because wp-external-links is using ob_end_clean(); at line 69 of /wp-content/plugins/wp-external-links/includes/class-wpel-front.php

    This function manipulates the buffer causing incorrect output.

    thanks!

    Hi,

    Sorry to hear you are having issues ??
    Did you get an error or how did you conclude that it’s the ob_end_clean() at line 69 causing the issue?

    Hi Alexandru, thank you for your fast answer!
    I work at WP Rocket’s support team and noticed this on a customer site. WP Rocket uses the output buffer to generate the cache files, and the ob_end_clean() function empties buffer.
    I’m sure many other plugins use buffering too. Maybe you need to check if a buffer is active before cleaning it?

    thank you!

    Hi,

    That function containing the ob_get_clean() is actually no longer used. The previous coder probably forgot to remove it. I will remove that code in the next version.
