wpengine caching

[Neb]

Hi,

Can you please confirm anything SWPM related that should be omitted from caching on WPEngine hosting?

As well as logged in content, are there any specific URLs that should not be cached in regards to payments through PayPal?

Thanks you

WPEngine has “a history” of issues…

IMHO, you “might” want to consider another hosting provider. But… that’s just “my opinion.”

Thanks for the quick reply.

I’ve found their hosting and support to be excellent, and its benefits far outweigh a self-managed system.

I think to clarify your response, what I would say is that caching on WPEngine can cause issues with your plugin.

From the post that you sent this suggests it’s purely the login page that is affected. This has been excluded from the caching, as has any account pages and also any cookies set by SWPM.

What would be useful from the plugin authors is a list of specific urls that would be best to have caching disabled.

Perhaps you could reach out to WPEngine and get a test account setup to test your plugin in their system? As they are one of the largest WordPress hosting sites out there, and this would make your plugin offering even more attractive.
