Breaks Varnish cache

  • The UX of Ninja Forms and functionality is great for both a free and a paid plugin. The problem is that it breaks Varnish cache on many well known hosts (e.g. Dreamhost). A quick Google search returns comments on GitHub back to 2014 about Ninja Forms using set-cookie: PHPSESSID and how this breaks many cache plugins. It looks like it has been fixed before but has come back.

    I’ve emailed support about it and their reply was to say that if I wanted it fixed that I could go pay a custom shop to code a custom solution. That would be an option if there wasn’t a number of other great form plugins that do not have this issue. It also seems like support was more interested in a quick reply than learning that this problem is affecting a large number of sites.

    If you’re using Ninja Forms and your site is slow or generating errors, search for “Is Varnish working” and run a check on your domain. It could be Ninja Forms
