What Does this Do When ALL Plugins and Themes are Enabled?

  • We have a single problem where a drop-down menu from a plugin called “Posts Table Pro” isn’t populating our custom (CPT UI) taxonomies. When we activate the Health Check & Troubleshooting plugin and enable every single plugin and the OceanWP theme just like our normal site would have, the issue we’re having goes away. However, when we exit troubleshooting mode, the issue comes back. So…

    What else–that we cannot see– is being disabled when the Health Check & Troubleshooting plugin goes into troubleshooting mode with everything enabled as it was before going into this mode?

    Thanks,
    Michael

    Hiya Michael,

    One of the side-effects of enabling troubleshooting, is that it will also do everything in its power to disable all kinds of caching (both full-page ones via the no-cache headers, and object caches that may save some processing in both the back- and front-end).

    Since the problem goes away when running troubleshooting mode, even with all plugins enabled, I would start by checking if you have an object cache running on your site, and if you do, see if you can flush it somehow (usually you’ll have a companion plugin that will help with this). If that fixes it, reaching out to the plugin authors and letting them know that their plugin isn’t working when an object cache is enabled, it may just be a logical error in their code ??

    Thanks for the response, Marius! We see on WP Engine (our host) that object caching is not enabled on the server so we’ll have to keep digging.
