WP Super Cache advanced settings not visible when using Cloudflare

  • We recently started using CloudFlare (https://cloudflare.com) to protect a few of our websites. One side effect we’ve found is that the WP Super Cache Advanced settings are not displayed. The tab and available options are displayed, but all of the settings are unselected. Setting them and pressing save returns them all to the unselected state.

    Bypassing Cloudflare (direct.mydomain.com), all of the Advanced settings are displayed properly.

    I’m bringing this up as an issue with WP Super Cache, as opposed to CloudFlare, as it is the only plugin that I’m having the issue with.

    Is there something different about how configuration values are read by WP Super Cache that may be impacted by the introduction of a reverse proxy like CloudFlare?

  • OK… three consistent results is pretty clear. One of my colleagues is going to look at this specific issue. I’ll report back when we have a fix, and hope the helpful trio here can confirm we’ve gotten it right then. Until then, disabling the HTML selection of Auto Minify is a good workaround.

    Thanks John! Looking forward to hearing back from you and the CloudFlare team. You guys rock!

    Hey John,

    Any progress on this front? Just thought I’d check back in.

    Thanks a lot!

    @clangille (and others) –> We’ve made several updates to Auto Minify code in the past 2 weeks. In our tests, with Auto Minify (JS, CSS, and HTML) and Rocket Loader enabled, everything saves correctly and remains saved.

    Please turn on Auto Minify and report back, please.

    Thanks for getting back to us John. I have since switched from WP Super Cache to W3 Total Cache which as you probably know has built in support for CloudFlare. Everything seems to be working fine with W3TC, so I’ll have to leave it up to the other folks here to report on WPSC.

    Thanks again

    John, Just tested and it out and looks like it is displaying and save settings correctly with Auto Minify enabled.

    Thanks for the team’s efforts!

    @skippybosco – thanks for confirming.

    I encourage anyone and everyone using WP Super Cache to also try CloudFlare. They complement each other in many ways.

    Does the same go for W3 Total Cache?

    @clangille – yes, CloudFlare also complements W3 Total Cache.

    I’m trying to get supercache to play along with cloudflare. Site is much slower since I switched to Cloudflare. Mediatemple my ISP said to disable then re enable Supercache, since somehow the cache wasn’t actually being accessed. I’m getting the Time stamp don’t match error message above.

    Is there some documentation out there anywhere as to how to get these 2 to work together?

    @kevin-green21 certainly not the experience anyone would want, or expect…and not one we’ve heard about before.

    There’s no official documentation at this point, although it’s a good idea.

    https://support.cloudflare.com is where you can get more help directly from our support team, too.

    John —

    This is sort of an old thread, but I’d like to second the request for a step by step guide to using Super Cache and CF:

    1. Exactly what to install for a typical site (CF plugin, SuperCache, etc.)

    2. Any changes to be made manually

    3. And — really importantly — what settings IN EACH (CF and Super Cache, plus anything else) to start with, then what to move to after seeing that’s stable, etc.

    4. It’s extemely confusing if you’re “just a blogger” and really techy on the caching side of things.
