Plugin breaks site

    Hello,

    Firstly I do like the plugin, but there’s an issue. From time to time the plugin breaks our sites.

    I have to manually clear everything in FVM, and clear the page caching.

    I’m assuming it’s due to the remaining of the CSS files. How can we prevent this from happening? Can you prevent the plugin from renaming the files automatically?

    I have Purge Minified CSS/JS files instantly, unchecked.

    Thanks, Stephen

    You would need to use a compatible cache plugin, or a hosting that is supported by the plugin.

    It will depend on how the page cache is running and for how long it’s valid.

    When you update a plugin, theme, or as needed, the code changes so the cache needs to be regenerated and the file names will change. If the file names were not changed, the updates would not be reflected on your users browsers, or it would be cached on the CDN and errors would occur.

    The issue of missing CSS/JS files means, you have purged FVM or the daily maintenance to delete expire files ran, but page cache was not cleared. If you do not clear page cache after deleting fvm generated files, they will result in 404 errors.

    FVM tries to auto purge several hosting providers and cache plugins, however, if your hosting also does page caching in-between and FVM cannot purge it, that may be the reason for the situation to happen.

    Please ensure that whenever you purge FVM, you also purge your page caching.
