    @arnan,

    mfunc doesn’t work. You use a secret code only for a “mfunc”. And not for a closing “/mfunc”. Now I turned off W3 Total Cache support and use next code instead of AdRotate widget:
    <!– mfunc secret_code –>
    echo adrotate_group(2);
    <!– /mfunc secret_code –>

    For a standard Text widget it need to remove line breaks to prevent an eval error. So it will looks like:
    <!– mfunc secret_code –>echo adrotate_group(2);<!– /mfunc secret_code –>

    Also when mfunc doesn’t work impressions work for the dynamic mode only. For the standard mode impressions count one time (before a page will be cached). With the mentioned above solution mfunc and impressions work fine.

    AdRotate 3.14 free.
    WordPress 4.3.1

    I’ve followed the manual and had some trial and error to get the current implementation working.

    If I change it to what you say, W3TC gives errors about things not being set up right. The current method works for me and many others.

    @arnan,

    My suggestion works only for the text widget and themes templates. If just add a secret code to “/mfunc” in adrotate-functions.php and adrotate-widget.php it shows an eval error. I didn’t learn yet how to solve it.

    If I’m not mistaken “/mfunc” without a secret code doesn’t work since WordPress 4.1

    Anyway I have notified you.

    @arnan,

    This is the error message from W3TC PgCache.php. Please look at the format.

    “Invalid mfunc tag syntax. The correct format is: <!– W3TC_DYNAMIC_SECURITY mfunc PHP code –><!– /mfunc W3TC_DYNAMIC_SECURITY –> or <!– W3TC_DYNAMIC_SECURITY mfunc –>PHP code<!– /mfunc W3TC_DYNAMIC_SECURITY –>.”

    I have found the way how to solve the error which you got with implementation this correct format.

    For example, for the adrotate-widget.php the code should looks like:

    if($adrotate_config['w3caching'] == 'Y')
  echo "echo adrotate_group(".$instance['adid'].", 0, 0, 0);";
else
  echo adrotate_group($instance['adid'], 0, 0, 0);

    For the adrotate-functions.php

    if($adrotate_config['w3caching'] == "Y")
  $output .= "echo adrotate_group($group_ids, 0, 0, 0);";
else
  $output .= adrotate_group($group_ids, 0, 0, 0);

    The same way for the call adrotate_ad function.
