Disable cache for logged in users

I also have this issue. Happens with 4.3.0 of the plugin, possibly other versions.

In my case, I have a page set to bypass the cache based on a Cloudflare Page Rule. But when I am logged in as an admin and visiting the page Cloudflare is caching it even thought it says it shouldn’t be.

From the response headers:

Logged in, but passing POST data to the page:
cf-cache-status: DYNAMIC
cf-edge-cache: cache,platform=wordpress

Logged in, but not passing POST data to the page:
cache-control: no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0
cf-apo-via: origin,page-rules
cf-cache-status: BYPASS
cf-edge-cache: no-cache

Logged out, and passing POST data to the page:
cf-cache-status: DYNAMIC
cf-edge-cache: cache,platform=wordpress

Logged out, and not passing POST data to the page:
cf-apo-via: origin,page-rules
cf-cache-status: BYPASS
cf-edge-cache: cache,platform=wordpress

@jorg953 you have two options. If you have a business plan there is a page rule for bypass cache on cookie: https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/236166048-Caching-Static-HTML-with-WordPress-WooCommerce

Alternatively if you use APO, this is provided by default: https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/360049822312-Understanding-Automatic-Platform-Optimization-APO-with-WordPress

@veggroups you seem to be having a different issue. All the headers you provided would mean that Cloudflare is NOT caching those pages. Both BYPASS and DYNAMIC mean cloudflare is not returning a cached response.

Using APO (with W3C Total Cache) and still logged in user page hits are cached and served to non-authenticated users. This was the reason I enrolled to the APO in the first place.
