[Plugin: Varnish HTTP Purge] Incompatibility with WooCommerce

For anyone else getting here via Google: setting CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER to true seems to do the trick.

Thank you Jessor for the info but where to set this option (in wich file ?).
Sometimes it show the purging status from varnish on the frond-end.

With “Varnishh HTTP Purge” plugin deactivated, redirect works perfect.

Thanks a lot, very helpful. The plugin author should probably add this to the plugin core code…

techpriester has given me commit access, so me and a coworker are testing out this and a different possible fix right now. Expect a new version shortly. ??

Hello,

With the latest update on Varnish HTTP Purge v2.0, is the Varnish configuration from WooThemes necessary? Thank you.

I believe yes, it’s still needed, Samantha. All we’re doing is having WP tell Varnish to purge a cache when you have a new page. I’m double checking though!

Cool. Let me know when you’ve had the chance to double check. Thank you!

So my smarter coworker says “The second part you shouldn’t need, but the first part yes, since you need to tell Varnish what to ignore.”

OK. Where should be the code be added?

if (req.url ~ "^/(cart|my-account|checkout|addons)") {
 return (pass);
 }
if ( req.url ~ "?add-to-cart=" ) {
 return (pass);
 }

Wherever your varnish config files live.

Great. Will see how this works. Thank you!
