Removed Cache Buster, but Cloudflare Cache Rules not working

    Hey,

    Recently, I’ve added the necessary Cache Rules in Cloudflare and enabled the Remove Cache Buster Query Parameter option in the plugin settings. I cleared the cache. But the website is still using cached copies, which is annoying since the WordPress Admin bar is not present.

    I’m logged in… I verified that. And if I clear the cache again, and reload the page, it pulls a non-cached version with the Admin bar present… but only until a non-logged in browser loads the page, after which I’m just served the cached version again.

    I have a couple other Cache rules in Cloudflare (one to enable serving stale content, and one to disable caching of a particular query string, but even when those are disabled the problem remains, unless I add ?swcfpc=1 to the URL, which I’m not supposed to be able to do… right?)

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @jaredratcliff,
    Can you share the screenshot of the cache rules that you have added so that I can quickly check them and see if you have made any mistakes? Thanks

    Sure thing!

    I only changed two things in the rules: (1) the name of each Cache Rule, to remind me which plugin it was used for, and (2) I added a string to the “cache eligible requests & ignore query…” rule, to have it ignore an additional query my site uses. But I wouldn’t think that either of those should break anything.

    The first two screenshots are my rules, but as I mentioned, even when they’re disabled the problem remains. But here they are:

    And the next four are the ones for the SPC plugin. Number three (default bypass cookies) doesn’t show the entire code, so I added it below the picture.

    (And the full code string):

    (
    http.host eq “example.com” and
    (http.cookie contains “wordpress_logged_in_” or http.cookie contains “comment_” or http.cookie contains “woocommerce_” or http.cookie contains “wordpressuser_” or http.cookie contains “wordpresspass_” or http.cookie contains “wordpress_sec_” or http.cookie contains “yith_wcwl_products” or http.cookie contains “edd_items_in_cart” or http.cookie contains “it_exchange_session_” or http.cookie contains “comment_author” or http.cookie contains “dshack_level” or http.cookie contains “auth_” or http.cookie contains “noaffiliate_” or http.cookie contains “mp_session” or http.cookie contains “xf_” or http.cookie contains “mp_globalcart_”) and
    not http.request.uri.path contains “.”
    )

    Thanks so much for the help!

    Hi @jaredratcliff,
    I think you did not followed the guide properly the hostname should be replaced with your own hostname i.e. example.com will be replaced with www.jaredratcliff.com. I think that is your issue.
