Not caching requests by known users not working right

  • I run the latest of the plugin and WP 4.9.9 under Litespeed server. It seems that when “Not caching requests by known users” is enabled (as it should), ALL users are served dynamic pages and not cached, anonymous also.

    Tested that from several pcs, even from TOR. Same result.

    Disabling that option seems to work BUT it caches logged in users and i don’t want that.

    Any ideas what could be wrong ? Thanks

  • I have the same problem with WP 4.9.8. This worked before.

    I simulate a not-known user on Opera and my pages are not cached.

    I activated the debug:

    Why this line

    20:42:05 201350 /expertises/ Not caching for known user.

    as I am not logged in.

    ok..found the problem. I have a conflict with my cookie notice. When I accept my cookie notice, a cookie will be stored. From that moment on, no page is cached anymore. This explains the error message “cookie found. no cached page used”

    As long as I do not accept the cookie notice, my pages are cached.

    My plugin is “Cookie Notice”.

    @swissspaceboy Dude thanks !!! You are right. It IS because of Cookies privacy plugin. BUT this is a WPSP plugin problem and not of the cookies plugin since i tried 2-3 different, with the same problems.

    I am testing out plugin WPSC Country Caching that handles also the caching problem for country GEOIP and Cookie notice plugin.

    But I get the white screen of death when I activate it.

    Anyway, serious problems with caching and cookie notice ??

    It’s known issue – https://github.com/Automattic/wp-super-cache/issues/620. I’ve created PR – Improves logic for logged in users.
    There is little problem because this PR creates cache for pages with custom cookies (it’s opposite with current behavior – some users use it for reject caching). You could try to apply this PR. It worked in my tests.

    @stodorovic i have tried PR and it seems to work just find for me.

    Many thanks for that.

    Ha I will try it out also as I want to keep my cookie notice plugin. I tried manual patches yesterday but no success.

    Do I need to change my WPSC settings before upgrading? I have enabled the “do not cache for known users”.. I didn’t understand the backwards compat problem described in github.

    Thanks for the fix. I hope it will solve this nasty cookie problem.

    It’s possible that you didn’t apply all changes. I’ve created zip file which you could manually install (you could find link in comment on github). This file contains current github repository with merged PR #631.
    It works with enabled “Don’t cache pages for known users.”. You will see WP cache files (wp-cache-…, meta-wp-cache-…) instead of index.html in cache directories.
