Caching Problems with W3 Total Cache

  • I’ve set the cart to display only when there is something in the cart but due to page caching the cart only shows on some pages when full. Is there a caching trick in the W3 settings to fix this?

    I think there also maybe a caching conflict with this plugin and woocommerce, unless the this plugin is excluded from being cached then it messes with cart values as i move between pages.

    Any ideas? Hopefully there is something easy to I can do in W3 settings to fix without effecting page load times.

    I really like the hiding cart while empty functionality, I hope I dont have to revert to standard woocommerce menu cart…

    Hi Rodney,
    This is most likely a caching issue that affects both WooCommerce and this plugin in the same way. This is because the plugin uses the very same AJAX fragments that WC uses for its Cart Widget. You can verify this by adding the cart widget to your site somewhere, it should give you the same result (/error). Have you tried this?
    Note that caching by its very essence conflicts with dynamic data like cart data, so you need to make some offers.

    Also, I recommend that when doing tests, to open your site in a new tab/window after making changes. AJAX fragments are more persistent than regular browser cache (client side), so this may give you misleading results.

    Hope that helps!
