Counter's not working with W3 Total Cache

    Good day,

    I’m developing a new site and have used your plugin. I’m currently displaying total post views by using the following in my content.php file

    <span id="tptn_post_count_only"><?php echo get_tptn_post_count_only($id, $count = 'total'); ?></span>

    After enabling W3 Total Cache the count is no longer incremented correctly. If I enable the W3 Total Cache Fix toggle in your plugin settings the total increments by multiples of 2 for logged in users and not at all for users that aren’t logged in.

    Do you have any troubleshooting suggestions? Unfortunately the site is currently running locally on a development system so I am unable to provide you access to it.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi,

    get_tptn_post_count_only is currently not W3C Total Cache compatible. You’ll need to write some conditional code to force W3 Total Cache to execute the function.

    A good way to debug if the plugin is working with W3 Total Cache is to use the Web Developer Network tab in Firefox (Ctrl + Shift + Q) on your page and refresh it. One or more of the scripts will be from top-10 that are included in the page and they will give you the Response.

    Thanks for the fast response. Is get_tptn_post_count_only compatible with W3 Super Cache? I’m not set on either caching engine so I could always switch if need be.

    Not specifically. Because it just pulls the information from the database which the caching plugins bypass.

    If you want to code your own count, you should check out how I have done:

    echo_tptn_post_count($echo=1)

    and the file top-10-counter.js.php
