Preload caching too often

Still happening, any ideas?

For 4 or 5 days it was fine, now in the last hour it’s done a full preload about 4 times. One just finished and it says:

Full refresh of cache in 0 hours 30 minutes and 12 seconds.

Despite it being set to 10080 minutes it seems to start much sooner, I still get emails saying preload has completed and the next will be in 10080 however when I check the preload tab the time to next preload is much sooner. I am not making any changes at all to anything to cause a recache.

After the above ~30 mins preload started again, and the countdown changed to “Full refresh of cache in 0 hours 3 minutes and 33 seconds.” then after that time was up preload kicked off again and showed “Full refresh of cache in 0 hours 3 minutes and 50 seconds.”.

Now after that it’s “Full refresh of cache in 22 hours 52 minutes and 11 seconds.”, better than every 3-30 mins but still not the specified 10080 mins.

Thanks for posting this. I’ve spent some time trying to understand the logic behind the interval timing, too. But it continues to be a mystery ??

Currently I’m receiving preload messages, and I’ve set the preload to “0” a couple of hours ago ;-).

I suppose that may be an option, at 0 it wouldn’t auto preload and would just keep the preloaded cache.

I assume that having the setting enabled to do the preload if you edit a post or post something new would be enough to trigger it when required.

Edit: Nope it did not start a preload, it did delete the cache files though as the setting stated but it doesn’t start generating them again, so 0 might not be an option for me.

Is setting to preload every 7 days perhaps too long or something and what causes this problem?

I’m also seeing the same.

I’ve set the ‘Refresh preloaded cache files every’ to 1440 minutes and yet it refreshes every 50 minutes or so.

Has anybody tried to uninstall/reinstall the plugin?

I’ve managed to get it working, here’s how:

Change ‘Use mod_rewrite to serve cache files. (Recommended)’ to ‘Use PHP to serve cache files.’

Edit your .htaccess file and remove the WPSuperCache entry:
# BEGIN WPSuperCache
delete everything
# END WPSuperCache

Go back to WP Super Cache Settings and reconfigure/enable your Preload settings and click on ‘Preload Cache Now’.

It should then work correctly, it did for me ??

I also enabled the ‘Use mod_rewrite to serve cache files. (Recommended)’ again and it’s still okay. My guess is that there was something wrong with the .htaccess configuration.

Interesting, I don’t have a .htaccess as I’m using Nginx, I’ve basically transferred the configuration into my Nginx configuration though.

This is still a problem I have, over the weekend I get around 10 instances of preloading as previously outlined before it will eventually be fine for a few days, but still not the full week specified.

Same problem. Preload started again just a few minutes after finishing scheduled preload process. Probably it was because I changed preload schedule and hit “preload cache now”, but the original schedule was still there and executed.

Tried to resolve it by changing the preload setting to 0, updated, and kept that way until more than 2 days (2880 minutes, my scheduled preload settting). It’s similar to “flushing period”.

Then I set preload schedule again to run at 2880 minutes, updated, without hitting “preload cache now”. Two days later preload process started as scheduled, and the problem disappeared.
