User-Agents setup to Make Mobble work with W3TC

    Hello,
    I am trying to make mobble work properly with w3tc (w3 total cache plugin).

    I read this post about user-agents setup here in the support forum ( https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/w3-total-cache-plugin-conflict-with-mobble-plugin?replies=10 ), but would need some further clarification.

    Looking at mobile-detect.php , I see a ton of
    mobile devices ( starting code line 138 )
    and
    tablet devices ( row 172…)
    and
    mobile operating systems ( row 315… )
    and
    only a few user agents ( row 344…)

    Further down in row 423 is another list of segments for a user-agent string.

    When I head over into w3tc – user-agents section,

    1. What of the above device do I put into ?

    2. which of the two user-agents groups(high or low) ?

    3. Do I add these to the existing user-agents in w3tc, or do I replace these ?

    Would be awesome if you could help me on this one.

    Hi
    Not being a user of the plugin it is not something I am able to offer much advice on. From what I do remember of W3TC, it is a tricky plugin to configure with lots of settings.

    I would imagine you need to create groups of user agents based on your mobile logic. If your using is_iphone() for example you would create a group called iPhone and place that user agent in the group. This group would then be served a different cache.

    Sorry I cannot be of my help

    Looking for an answer as well, did you already managed to fix this?
    Thanks

    +1 we are facing this issue too!

    I’ll explore a little bit and if I find something interesting I’ll post back. But if someone has already some answer it would be awesome to know!

    Cheers,

    Looks like enabling the “high” group in User Agents Group will create separate cache pages for mobile and tablet devices (so they won’t generate the same cache than a desktop computer, and, likewise, they will request their own particular cached pages).

    However, what if we want to serve specific cached pages to smartphones only (not tablets)?

    Where can we get a list of mobile/handheld specific user agents?

    Please help with this!

    Aside: another option to tell between desktop / other devices, is pasting a list of mobile / tablets User Agents in Page Cache > Advanced > Rejected User Agents, so they will get the dynamically generated version of the site insead of a generic or specific cache.
