Feature Request: Disable Auto Cache Clear

    Great plugin and works out of the box to speed my WordPress sites up where all the other caching plugins did not work or were far to complex to get working wasting a lot of my time.

    One feature request I would like to make is:

    Wordfence > Performance Setup > Cache settings
    Checkbox ‘Disable Auto Cache Clear‘

    I think it’s unusual behaviour to auto clear the cache when the wp-admin page is used or a post is made. Result is to slow my site down and Cloudflare to not be able to find origin files causing not found errors!

    In wordfence/lib/wfCache.php
    I have commented out the:

    self::scheduleCacheClear();

    lines of code throughout and can see from the contents of:
    /wp-content/wfcache
    the cache remains even after I admin my site which is preferred.

    Please consider having this as an option for your users, of course if a cache clear is required that button can already be pressed manually.
    This would make Falcon Engine comparable to the other caching plugins functionality wise (next step would be db caching like W3 Total Cache)!

    Thanks for the suggestion — we have a similar request in progress, mainly to reduce the events that clear the cache, so I have added your input to that request.

    Hi there.

    I also just discovered that cache clears automatically,
    because I’m in an environment with 80 WordPress websites installed in the same directory,
    one deletes the cache of all the others.

    The solution would be either to add a “disable auto cache clear” option,
    or (better for me) to a “choose cache folder” option.

    Can you confirm this is not possible actually ?

    @ELAN42.com: If it is a WordPress multisite installation, that is one of the cases we are looking into. If that is not the issue, can you make a new post using the form at the bottom of the Wordfence forum here? The www.ads-software.com forum rules ask us to keep each person’s request separate, and it helps us keep track of which posts have not been answered also. Thanks!

    Mine is not exactly a WP MU installation,
    I use a similar software (Virtual Multiblog) to use 1 installation of WordPress for infinite WordPress websites/databases.

    The problem is, that your plugin don’t allow me to choose che cache directory,
    and (this is wrong) uses wp-content/X/ instead of %%uploads%% folder to store cache.

    You should use %%uploads%% folder to store cache.
    I change my %%uploads%% with %%uploads%%/domainname/ , so I’m ok with that.

    Did you make an update to solve this problem ?

    Your plugin is huge, I don’t understand why you don’t give us the possibility to choose cache folder or to not delete cache automatially.
