W3 causing issues with Recently Viewed products

Hello,

Can you please disable minify and see if the issue persist?

Hey Marko, minify isn’t enabled.

Hello,

You probably have the “Don’t cache pages for logged in users” option enabled in Performance>Page Cache and because of that logged in users are able to see Recently viewed products.
You can use Page Fragment Caching to exclude certain parts of the page from being cached. More about Page Fragment Cache on our FAQ page. This requires the Page cache method to be Basic or any other memory based caching solution. Also, you need to enable late initialization which may increase response times.
You can also use Fragment caching, which is a feature in W3 Total Cache available after the upgrade.

Unticking that makes it so that it doesn’t show up for the logged in users either, is there not a way to make it came for logged out users also? It used to before but it looks like after updating this doesn’t work anymore.

Hello,

I am not sure that I understand your question.
Can you please rephrase it?

Sorry, when i have that option “Don’t cache pages for logged in users” unticked the recently viewed products do not show either for the logged in users. I would like to get the recently viewed products showing for both the logged out users and the ones that are logged in. Is this possible?

This was working in a previous version, but for some reason with the new updates it doesn’t seem to work now.

Hello,
Are you able to see recently viewed products when you purge caches and visit the page from the new incognito window?

Hey, sadly it still doesn’t update the recently viewed products when I purge the cache and view in an incognito window. It only shows the last products that were cached in that list, even after the purge..

Hello,

As said in the previous message:

I would want it being cached though so it remembers the recently viewed pages correct? If I disable for those pages surely it wouldn’t remember. Unless I’m misunderstanding here.

Hello,

No, as that is the dynamic part of your website and it is changing per visit, you should exclude that part from being cached.

Hey Marko, how do i exclude certain pages? Thanks!

Hello,
Are you asking to exclude some pages from cache or parts of the page from cache?

As the recently viewed products are in the store area, would I need to exclude the whole store from cache? There are three pages, so would I need to exclude all of those for this to work?

Hello,

Go to performance>Page cache, scroll down to advanced sub-box. There you will find “Never cache the following pages:”. Add the pages you want to exclude from the cache there.
I.E.:

/store/
/cart/
/product/
