Like, Report, Edit, Delete links only work in Theme Customizer view

    I have posted more extensively on the WPForo site but wanted to put this on www.remarpro.com too because of the Customizer element.

    WPForo links to like, report, edit & delete do not work for any level users (full permissions included), with any theme, and all other plugins besides Akisment disabled – unless accessed while in the Theme Customizer view. This is so weird to me.

    Site is not yet public but is hosted on WPEngine so it might be a cache issue, but I can’t see how that wouldn’t also apply to the Customizer.

    FWIW it *is* a caching issue with WordPress Engine hosting. They are working with me to turn off caching for the pages/areas where this plug in is used.

    Working theory on why things work in the customizer is because query strings like are used there are not cached. In case this helps anyone.

    What WP Engine needs are the the specific cookies, PHP arguments or URI strings from the plug in to stop caching. Does anyone know how to find out what those are by myself? I can use developer tools pretty well but not sure what to look for here.

    Hoping to hear back from plugin authors but trying to get my client to launch so time is of the essence.

    For example if your forum main path is example.com/community/ then you ask them disable WP Engine hosting cache for all pages with this path, it should look like this: example.com/community/*

    Thank you for getting back to me! But sadly, please mark this unresolved.

    We tried to stop caching via URL and used exactly what you have there “example.com/community/*” and it didn’t work so WPE asked me to ask specifically for
    the specific cookies, PHP arguments or URI strings to use instead.

    There cannot be more specific thing as the URL provided above, make sure you’ve not changed the URL. This is the only and correct specific thing. They should use that.

    In any case if they can use PHP code, this function returns true if current page is a wpForo page:

    <?php is_wpforo_page() ?>

    Ok thanks. weird that it didn’t work – we did clear caches but maybe it was stuck.
    Will pass along the php and see if they can do better with that.

    My client loves your forums and would be very sad if we can’t get them working.
