How to exclude shortcode from cache

@perfectword7 – the best way is to insert the like button and count using Javascript because this plugin caches the entire page, but Javascript can make requests that aren’t cached.
The other way is with dynamic caching but it is not easy at all. A description of how can be found here:

Thank you. Can you please advise how to do this with Javascript?

You could try the ratings that Crowdsignal.com offer. They do five star or nero ratings that uses Javascript and isn’t cached by this plugin.

(FYI – I work on Crowdsignal)

I will check it out. Thank you.

So there’s no way to do it with the plugin I specified?

I don’t know. I haven’t used that plugin. The author of that plugin, or anyone who knew how, could modify it to use Javascript to display the like button and ratings. It would be a huge modification however.

Got it. Thank you.

So if I were dead set on trying to use that plugin, I would attempt to implement the “Shortcodes and Output Buffers” using the plugin’s provided shortcode? https://github.com/Automattic/wp-super-cache/wiki/How-do-I-not-cache-part-of-my-page%3F#shortcodes-and-output-buffers

Yes, that’s it. Good luck!
