[Plugin: W3 Total Cache] Object cache breaks my custom archives

The question here is: “How to disable caching for archives”

I’ve tried setting “news/archives/” in “Never cache the following pages” under the “page cache” tab but that didn’t work

The source code: https://pastebin.com/SqPqgXHr

I’ve also couldn’t find information about “Non-persistent groups”. What are those? how can I setup new groups?

The thing is, it used to work fine before… that’s why I’ve decided to check Trac and I’ve found this in the “w3-total-cache-config.php” file:

‘objectcache.reject.uri’ => array(
0 => ‘/news/archives’,
),

Somehow, this information cannot be edited in the “object cache” tab of the current version of W3TC.

Any ideas?

I’ve found the origin of the problem:

The new version “Version 0.9.2.4” deleted the “never cache the following pages” under the “object cache” configuration page.

May I ask why it was deleted? is there a workaround?

I still need an answer to this problem

Still couldn’t find a way to disable object caching for the archives section ??

Any luck with this?

No, the problem still there and I have to keep the object cache disabled ??

You could perhaps add the constant define(‘DONOTCACHEOBJECT’, true); in your archives.php template file?
Check FAQ How can I prevent caching directly in my templates etc? for more settings.

@gazpachu are you all set?

Yes!, the define(‘DONOTCACHEOBJECT’, true); worked.

Thank you guys ??
