[Plugin: WP Super Cache] Set it so it does not cache the index.php?

You can’t. Sorry.

Ouch ??

Create a nocache-home.php in the wp-super-cache/plugins/ directory

Put this in it…

<?php
    if($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/') $cache_enabled = false;
?>

Should work.

donncha can you please address this? There are a ton of posts about this problem on this board, and the problem of the newest versions of supercache substituting a category page for index.php at random.

Also, would you say that you cannot use supercache if you use a static page as the home page? Also what do you think about Murmatron’s solution?

I’d like to join the club:

I’m unable to figure out how to exclude the home/index.php from cache. The front page shows ‘random posts’ from archive; therefore the cache should be turned off there.

As the “index.php” ist not shown in the URL, I can not exclude it in the “Accepted Filenames & Rejected URIs”-Box.

Any idea?

Try this in the rejected URI textbox:

^/$

Does that work for you? That should match a single /. If your path is different, add it in if necessary.

Hi donncha,

thank you for your quick response and support.
Placing the exact string ^/$ in the rejected URL box seems to have no effect: the front page still goes into cache.
When I replace ^ with the path of my blog it actually does block the cache … unfortunately of the entire blog pages.

Is there any chance to place a string directly into the index.php to keep it from cache?

Thank You again.

Hi all,

I’ve tried the solution, proposed by Murmatron 2

Create a nocache-home.php in the wp-super-cache/plugins/ directory

Put this in it…

<?php
if($_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’] == ‘/’) $cache_enabled = false;
?>

Should work.

This works perfectly for me (having a start page as a static page and using secondary loop).

Thanks!

UPD: If it might be of use, before testing I “refreshed” the page by editing to renew it’s caching. Now it doesn’t get in cache.

Yes. It works – Great!

How come I missed Murmatron2s solution? Well, it was late.
Thank you shoo_ash for your ‘reminder’.

It works… thanks guys ??

Works here ??
