Issue with voting/polls plugin…

  • Using Democracy polls plugin (unfortunately not very active dev involvement) which is a great plugin, but for some reason WP Fastest Cache has issues w/ it. The poll plugin uses cookies, etc to track when visitors vote so they can’t duplicate vote. But, WPFC keeps old cache that causes conflicts w/ the Democracy Poll plugin.

    Is there simply a way to tell WP Fastest cache to completely ignore/exclude any data, etc that is from a specified plugin (like Democracy Poll for example?)

    The cache makes it seem like user has not voted, so the poll looks open to voting, but if user tries to vote, plugin says woops an error occured you already voted.

    If we clear the WPFC cache then the poll shows to same user as completed already voted so as it should.

    Please advise. Thanks.

    are you sure that it is compatible with the cache pl?ugins?

    Hard to tell. The developer is not very active on support. If I had to guess, no, the Democracy Poll plugin is not compatible with cache plugins. I had same problem using Litespeed plugin too.

    So I guess my original question still applies… is there any way to tell WP Fastest to completely ignore all data from a specified plugin like Democracy Polls, or any other plugin for that matter.

    I tried creating an exclude rule …/democracy/… (any url with “democracy” to be excluded from cache) but that does work.

    Seems like would be a great option in WPFC settings if there were an exclude rule for plugins. It would show a drop-down of active plugins and admin selects desired plugin to add to list of excluded plugins.

    In theory that would be a great but not knowing the back-end code stuff perhaps that’s easier said than done.

    Is the problem resolved after clearing all the cache, and does it recur after 8-9 hours?

    That is correct.

    Back to the original question… is there a way to have WPFC ignore data from a specified plugin like Democracy?

    The problem is caused by the WordPress nonce security system. To resolve this issue, you should add a cache timeout as below.”
