Preload Not Working

  • wp-cron is disabled.

    I have added a cron job

    https://www.*******.com/?action=wpfastestcache&type=preload

    I trigger the preload by deleting cache. If that does not trigger preload, cron will run the task every 15 minutes.

    20 minutes go by and I look in the cache/all directory and I see 2 posts cached. I check after 30 minutes and only thing in the directory are the same two posts.

    I decide to run ?action=wpfastestcache&type=preload manually. I run it for a few minutes and look back in the cache/all directory and it is just the same two cache files.

    What gives?

    update..

    So I cleared browser cache and cookies and went back to site and clicked around. Using this method, it DOES create a new cache file for each post, so that tells me the plugin is able to write to the directory.

    I then manually run ?action=wpfastestcache&type=preload as a guest and that doesnt generate any new cache files.

    So I am at a loss. No matter how I run preload, it is not generating cache files.

    There was a problem and I fixed. Please delete the WPFC and download again.

    Well I got it working by disabling the plugin stop bad bots.

    I went into the access log and wanted to see if the cron job was running. It was running fine but was returning a 0 byte file with each run.

    I remember seeing wget in the list of bad bots, so in the stop bad bots plugin I disabled wget. That didnt resolve the issue but it now was at least returning a 5kb file in the access log. I completely disabled the plugin and it started working.

    Something in that plugin is preventing preload from working.

    Hi
    I’m Bill Minozzi, creator of Stop Bad Bots Plugin.
    I just received a message from WordPress Slack.
    Try to see at bad bots table, order by NUM blocked, then take a look if any bot nick name match with your domain name (with a lot of number blocked).
    You can do it all from the plugin dashboard.
    If yes, just disable that bot and you can enable the plugin again.
    Cheers,
    Bill

    Thanks for taking the time to respond.

    Before I disabled the plugin I had already done as you suggested and didnt see anything unusual. I seen wget listed as I said earlier, and I disabled it to no avail.

    Maybe is not compatible with another plugin or theme.
    I didn’t test with multisite. I hope do that in a couple of weeks.

    I’m having the same problem as the OP. I’ve tried reinstalling the plugin. I don’t know what happened. Preloading was working fine and for some reason it stopped today. Cache files are created when a user visits the site but the preload no longer works. When I try to trigger a preload nothing happens. I really like the plugin, fingers crossed that we can figure it out.

    Hi @sndbarrier1, what kind of error do you get?

    Thank you for the quick reply.

    That’s the thing I don’t get any errors. Just nothing happens. Is there a log that I can check for errors?
