Hi Paulina (@pehaa),

Thank you so much for taking the time to delve deeper into this. As you mentioned, it’s a site with a lot of editorial activity, but we’re only using a limited set of modules from the plugin, such as Block, Sitemap, and Embedded shortcodes, while all others are disabled. Since we’re not benefiting from these connections, we see them as unnecessary.

Your latest suggestion regarding stopping the syncing of post meta updates related to the _wp_attachment_metadata post meta sounds spot on. Could you assist me with implementing that option?

Thank you again for your help!

Hi @bruceallen , seems that make no difference, still see a lot of connections.

Any other suggestions? thank you!

Appreciate that, thank you.

Change made, I’ll return with results.

It seems the changes to functions.php worked, as I’m now seeing only 12 connections since updating the file. I’m wondering if this is the correct approach to further reduce them.

Hello again, I just wanted to inform you that version 2.7.6 was also responsible for another issue. It conflicted with the system cron (not WP cron), causing all scheduled posts to fail and show as “Missed Schedule.” After reverting to the previous version, the scheduled posts were published successfully.

Hello Marko, sorry for the delay, I just did the rollback to version 2.7.5.

Both issues were resolved, so it’s definitely related to the update to version 2.7.6.
Do you think this is something the W3 Total Cache developers should look into?
Especially when a new update, say 2.7.7, is released, could it present the same issue as with the 2.7.6 update?

Thank you for the follow up.

Hello Marko, thank you for the follow up.

Ahh, missed that part, I can use that plugin to install the previous version. OK, let me do that tonight and let you know.

Sorry about that, a typo, 2.7.6, the latest.

I was pasting the version, but was the WP version, 6.6.2, fixed over it, didn’t notice didnt fix the last number.

I’ve already downloaded the 2.7.5, just want to be sure about the replacement process.

oh sorry, my bad, I meant if rollback to the previous plugin adjustment (active again), I havent tried rollback to version (2.7.5). Is it safe? just have to uninstall current and install the previous version? settings remain?

Yes, if I rollback to “active” the issue persist, so I have to clear the cache to make the change permanent (until new posts are created).
It is a newspaper site, so we have to show whats is new on top.

Thank you again.

Thank you for your reply and sorry for the delay (went to spam folder)

After further reading I saw that was a cloudflare issue, It was readed as html, it was fixed.
