How to exclude the sidebar from ESI?

Hi @createpop, you can find the LiteSpeed Cache section on each Apperance > Widgets > Widget box.

Hi Stanley,

Thank you for your comment.
Yes, I know we can set ESI for each widgets.
But, I want to exclude the full global sidebar from the cache and want a hole to be punched for the sidebar, if possible.

Thank you for your support!

I see, in this situation, you need to modify the theme’s code and convert the dynamic_sidebar into ESI, please follow this article’s instruction.

Thank you for your info.
But, the instruction is not enough for me unfortunately.
I don’t know how to insert the code into sidebar.php according to the instruction.

Could you share your sidebar.php content with us? (Please put it on gist or pastiebin) We can provide an example for you.

Hi,

Thank you so much for your support.
Gist link for sidebar is below.

Thank you!

1) Please replace row 116 & 122 dynamic_sidebar() function into:

if ( method_exists( 'LiteSpeed_Cache_API', 'hook_tpl_esi' ) && LiteSpeed_Cache_API::esi_enabled() ) {
	// This will echo <esi...> script
	echo LiteSpeed_Cache_API::esi_url( 'litespeed_sidebar_esi', 'Side Bar ESI', array( PUT_SIDEBAR_PARAME_HERE ) ) ;
} else {
	// Fall back if ESI not enabled
	dynamic_sidebar( PUT_SIDEBAR_PARAM_HERE );
}

(Sidebar param is: $cb_sidebar_id and 'sidebar-global')

2) Add the following script to your theme’s function.php

if ( method_exists( 'LiteSpeed_Cache_API', 'hook_tpl_esi' ) && LiteSpeed_Cache_API::esi_enabled() ) {
	// Hook the esi call back script
	LiteSpeed_Cache_API::hook_tpl_esi('litespeed_sidebar_esi', 'hook_litespeed_sidebar_esi' );

	function hook_litespeed_sidebar_esi( $param ) {
		// Print sidebar here with the parameter you put in
		dynamic_sidebar( $param[ 0 ] );
		exit;
	}
}

Thank you for your info.
I’ll try to do it according to your instruction.
Unless fitting to my sidebar.php, then I’ll let you know.
Thank you!

Hi,

Deleting the code from 116 to 122, then insert the above code?
I tried it, but there is an error.
Sorry for my lack of knowledge.
I’d appreciate it if you still support me.

I’ve commented on your gist with the full code sample, please try on it. For the functions.php code you can keep using the above comment’s one.

Hi Stanley,

I tried and tested you code.
Everything is fine so far!
I have done the function what I want.
I really appreciated your support and effort!!!
Thank you so much!!

Your welcome @createpop. Happy to read you solve your issue.
