Only detecting Chrome correctly

    Hi,

    I have the following code and only chrome is detected correctly. All other browsers are coming up as Firefox (I guess for Firefox it is working too).

    I echoed the browser name function – that is how I know Firefox is coming up for all browsers except Chrome.

    I have your latest version installed – 3.1.2.

    Am I doing something wrong?

    Regards,
    Angelo

    my code:

    if (is_chrome() or is_opera()) {
echo '<a class="hep-page-subscribe-button eModal-3" href="https://www.americaforanimals.org/category/humane-eating-project/feed" target="_blank">Subscribe</a>';
} else {
echo '<a class="hep-page-subscribe-button" href="https://www.americaforanimals.org/category/humane-eating-project/feed" target="_blank">Subscribe</a>';
}

    We cannot duplicate this issue. We just tested the latest version and it is working correctly on our servers.

    Hi, thanks for checking.

    I’m thinking it is a cache issue. I’m using Quick Cache and when I clear the cache before testing a browser your code detects the browser correctly (for the most part).

    When I don’t clear the cache your code doesn’t detect the browser correctly (i.e., if I open up a Firefox browser your code detects Firefox but than when I open up a Safari browser your code still detects a Firefox browser).

    I guess I have to live with this. Users usually use one browser when surfing the web so it should work for them.

    The only issue I’m still having is that the Opera browser is still showing up as a Chrome browser even though I am clearing my cache. I’m still testing this and will update you.

    Is there any options that allow your code to refresh the cache – just a thought.

    This is not an issue that would have anything to do with our plugin. It’s a question for the caching plugin author. What you are asking is to make sure certain aspects of the page do not get cached. Not sure how that could be achieved. My guess is it isn’t possible.
