W3 total cache conflict with contact form 7

  • After installing W3 total cache, the contact form 7 dosn’t work properly. We have a field for uploading files in the form. When the W3TC is active the form doesn’t upload the files thus doesn’t send the form.

    Since I don’t want to change my form plugin, is there a way to exclude this plugin from W3TC? or is there a way to fix this issue?

    Note: My Minify setting is on Auto since I don’t know how to make it work with manual!

    Thanks!

    If its using ajax then it shouldn’t be affected by w3tc since js runs
    independently. The problem would be if CF7 is using a static id to
    form the url…doing so will have it cached by w3tc and the first
    person to use it will succeed, but subsequent users will get a fail.
    Does CF7 have alternate submission methods?
    One option you can do is to use w3tc’s other page cache
    mode…”Disk” vs “Disk Enhanced”.
    Also, you may want to try to exclude Contact Form from caching.
    This can be achieved as per the tutorial located at:

    I hope this helps and if there is anything else, please feel free to ask.

    Thank you for using W3 Total Cache!
    Kind regards!

    Thank you Bogdan! it is helpful to have an option to exclude a plugin from W3 Cache.

    The article you sent is also helpful but the file paths to each plugin are different. So how to know what paths should be included for any other plugins, in my case, Contact form 7!?

    It would be super cool and easy if W3 cache had an option in its setting to recognize the plugins installed and give the option to exclude those easily. That would take this plugin a whole level higher!!! :)))

    If you change minify mode to manual you can see what scripts are loaded, so you can see what plugins are using scripts and exclude them from minify.
