Hi

I will check which version do you recommend I roll back to, to test.

Hello @vmarko

I notice there is another update for W3 Total Cache to download.

Has this version fixed redis caching for PHP 7.3?

Hello

I am checking W3TotalCache on my plugins area, and it says an update required for 2.1.6

I was just checking if in that update there has been a fix to this Redis issue for 7.3. Or its just the fact that i’m a version behind.

Hello

Just following up as its been a few days.

Have made a fix for this issue yet, that is ready for an update?

Hello

I have confirmed that running PHP 7.3 is the issue.
I disabled PHP 7.3 and enabled PHP 7.2 and then Redis became available as a caching option.

I then disabled PHP 7.2 and enabled PHP 7.3 and the Redis option was not available.

I believe there is an issue in W3TC plugin for PHP 7.3 regarding enabling Redis for a caching option.

Could your developers please look into this and provide an update?
Thanks

Okay I will try remove W3TC and reinstall it.

As for PHP version do you mean enabling a different PHP version on the server. As in disable 7.3 and enable 7.4.

Or are you referring adjusting a setting somewhere on wordpress

Thanks for response.

I havent tried removing and reinstalling W3TC.

Do you suggest delete it completely and download it from plugins and install?

Could you please be a bit more specific on what you mean by changing PHP Version as I intend to use Php 7.3 and all its libraries etcetera.

I can clearly see that this is the issue for generating the static file.
I see the option to exclude urls, can you please assist me more on this I do not know how to exclude the emoji I have tried several different variations of the forward slashes and backslashes. I don’t know if I have typed the right URL, can someone please tell me what the url should be.

Can you please advise me on how to exclude the emoji?

Hi

Something very strange just happened. When I just logged back into the site to take a screenshot all of a sudden Redis became available and I could select it as a caching method and the tests show that its passed.

One thing I would like to know is why did it just suddenly work?

After installing redis server and php redis do I need to log out of wordpress and log back into it again, for it to process the update on the server?

Does this situation of Redis suddenly appearing ring a bell to you?

Thanks
