Redirects are now broken

    The last version of WP Super Cache broke redirects on forms using WPForms. If you select the dropdown menu “Click here to get the list of classes, clubs, studies, and more”, choose an option, and then click “Go to Meeting”, the form goes back to the original url instead of redirecting to the where it’s supposed to go. It was working fine with the previous version of WP Super Cache and the problem goes away when I disable caching or deactivate the WP Super Cache plugin.

    Reverting to version 1.10 fixed the issue in the meantime.

    I tested with a simple form and one redirect using the free version of the WPForms plugin, and it did work on a cached page with the latest version of WP Super Cache.

    It would be very helpful if you could install the latest version of WP Super Cache again and enable debugging in the plugin. Then try the redirect and examine the debug logs to see what pages were served by the cache.

    When you submit the dropdown form it sends a POST request to the server and those requests aren’t cached at all, so I’m not sure why it stopped working.

    Thank you so much Donncha,

    I am scratching my head though because looking into it with a calmer state of mind, I now see that what I thought was version 1.10 was actually 1.11.

    Please find attached a version of the logs in WordPress that describes what happened. As you can see, I did install version 1.10 and did disable auto-update. However, what I didn’t realize was that in between those two operations, it had auto-updated the plugin to 1.11.

    So, while reverting to 1.10 did fix my issue, my problem wasn’t 1.11 since I was running it unknowingly even after the redirection problem was fixed. So, it must have been something on my machine that got corrected by deleting the plugin. Before that, I had tried just to deactivate and reactive the plugin, but that didn’t fix the issue (see 2nd screenshot).

    That is so odd! I’m glad it’s working now. Hopefully it won’t break in the future.
