    I installed w3 total cache plugin and now I can not see the forms in the pages register, login, members, etc. The pages are in blank.
    In the w3 configuration I add those pages in “Never cache the following pages:” but it doesnt work. In the w3TC faqs says: “Note: To disable page caching of specific theme templates or plugin files you need to add define(‘DONOTCACHEPAGE’, true); to it.” but i dont know exactly where I have to add this thing.

    I experienced this as well. Try disabling any minify options in W3TC.

    Please be careful when trying out total cache as some settings may cause issues. For example, a google search will show the amount of problems the minification feature causes with many plugins. I will install total cache on our test site and see if it makes the pages disappear.

    One final thing, I would ask you to consider whether you should use a cache plugin on a member based site as page caching is not designed for sites where some users are logged out and some users are logged in. The cache plugins do not cache pages for logged in users so there is no real speed benefit for logged in users so you may find page caching causes more issues than it’s worth. On our site we use no page caching and our site is very fast.

    Thanks!

    There is WP Super Cache, it’s better and does not cause any problems as well.

    Please also notice that minifcation settings won’t play with many plugins, imagine if it was a membership plugin. It’s not recommended at all.

    Thank you!

    well, I disabled Minify in W3TC general settings, and now the pages are fine.

    It’s not just Ultimate Member that the minify options in W3TC can break plug-ins, I’ve noticed quite a few themes as well.

    I got trouble even after disabling Minify. The login page is loaded correctly for the first time but after submitting the form, it shows the same login page again even though user has been logged in successfully. I have to disable all W3TC caches (disabling just Page cache doesn’t help) and the site works well again. What other cache modules do you suggest for a membership site?

    Cache plugins normally won’t play well with a membership plugin, you’ll need to exclude dynamic pages and content from your cache plugin’s settings

    Same for me. W3TC is causing the conflict.

    I disabled Minify in W3TC general settings, and now the pages are fine.
    Thanks to All.
