Hi. That sounds unusual. Where were those files being saved on the server? Are you using disk or disk-enchanced for page and database caching? If so then the files that are written to your server are the cache files that W3 Total Cache generates. This is normal procedure.
These cache files (static files) are then served back to your visitors – which stops WordPress from having to query your database everytime. This results in a much, much faster experience, less load on server CPU, more visitors can be served at once, etc, etc.
If you never empty/flush the cache and you have a large site (and lot’s of visitors) then it can get very large. But all you need to do is empty it and it will start filling up again. I would recommend looking into this a bit further because you should use a caching plugin – the performance advantage on a busy, complex website is incredible.

Found a work around.

Resolved! The plugin author kindly checked this and agreed that return would work fine.

Thanks to emielm, james and gabrielstuff for their excellent advice on this issue. I followed all instructions and got everything working as it should providing that I specifically set cache-control in the browser cache settings page to “private, no-cache, re-validate” for every page. Even then I still had the occasional problem where an item was added to the basket but when you went to the cart it was nowhere to be seen!

To solve this issue I would recommend unchecking “Enable AJAX add to cart buttons on archives” in Woocommerce settings in the catalog menu.

This will force the page to refresh when an item is added to the basket and the url will have “?added-to-cart=12345” at the end of it. It is not as slick as adding items via Ajax (without a page refresh) but it works! I’ve tried adding many items from different pages, deleting items, refreshing the page, changing quantities, pretty much everything possible to break the basket but cannot.

The added bonus is once you have done this you can then re-enable cache-control in the browser cache settings. To be on the safe side I have set mine to “public, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate” but you might be able to get “expires with max-age” working. Make sure you have also unchecked “Cache URIs with query string variables” on the Page Cache settings page.

Providing that you have followed the other steps mentioned before this then you should notice a real benefit. The ultimate setup would be to use fragment caching but I haven’t experimented with this yet.

Ok. Think I’ve fixed it but would appreciate if plugin author could double check this for me.

In PRO version of plugin I’ve changed line 174 of wc-predictive-search-init.php FROM…

else $show_price = 0;
	echo WC_Predictive_Search_Widgets

TO…

else $show_price = 0;
	return WC_Predictive_Search_Widgets

Is this ok? It seems to work. Will it cause me any probs elsewhere on site?

Hi,
Does anyone fancy porting this zen cart script into a woocommerce plugin?

This is exactly what we need!

Hi,

We are as well. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi petrich
Bit of a longshot here (you posted 4 months ago) I was just wondering if:
a) You resolved this problem?
b) You can remember how?
I have the exact same issue on my IIS server.
Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion Ebenchich.

I don’t think this applies to me though because I am running the site from the subdirectory as well (not the root). The rest of my site is powered by Coldfusion – it is just the one directory (in the original post called /wordpress/) which is running wordpress.

I am guessing there is something in the W3 Total Cache plugin php which I need to modify to allow for this. Unfortunately I don’t know how!

Hi

I have half answered my own question above.

The shortcode does work on pages but only when you have “Default Template” selected. It does not work on “Corporate Template”. Is this an easy fix? I’ll try and work it out myself but feel free to post the answer here! ??

Thanks

Hi Sovit,

I’m having the same problem as op. For example, I am using contact form 7 on a page. When I post the shortcode it does not work (instead it just displays the shortcode itself on the page).
If I use exactly the same shortcode on a post it works fine.

Is there something in your theme that is disabling shortcode usage on pages?

I have tried several other contact forms and they don’t work either.

Any help much appreciated!
