CANNOT get password pages to work with W3 Cache!

  • I have spent hours trying to get password protected pages to work with W3 cache. I have added exceptions to the pages, database and browser cache areas for these pages, with no luck. I have tried like 10 different versions of entering the page into these text boxes but none of them work… the password page simply refreshes with the password box over and over when the proper password is entered.

    In other words, the “never cache these pages” doesn’t seem to be doing anything.

    I have entered /membership-portal/ into the text box areas on all of those exception pages. What am I doing wrong here?

    Can anyone help on this issue? I need this to work and would prefer not to have to deactivate/delete the entire plugin just to get passwords to work on my website. I appreciate it.

    I have the same problem, suddenly password protected pages started acting weird. Doesn’t even work when deactivating W3 cache now

    I also had problems with password protected pages and W3 Total Cache. I would enter the password and the page would reload, but show the login page again. If I then hard refreshed the page, the logged in version of the page came up.

    I for now “solved” the issue by turning off browser cache, but of course, I would rather have it enabled ánd be able to login on password protected pages without refreshing.

    Bump. I’m encountering this exact same issue. If I have to turn off browser cache, what’s the point of using the plugin?

    Are there any suitable cache plugins that don’t do this?
