“Problem with nonce. Please delete cached page from settings page.”

    We notified disorder on the homepage of a site and so wanted to delete the cache. Using the link on the homepage (from an admin account) we got this message “Oops. Problem with nonce. Please delete cached page from settings page.”

    We could delete all cached pages from the settings, and the display problem was fixed. But now we always get this message when using the link on the homepage. In internal pages, it is working fine.

    No modifications were made since a while, no plugin added, just updates. And we are using auto-optimize too.

    Hi @jsmo

    Hi @jsmo,

    I have tested WP Super Cache alongside Autoptimize on my test site, and can’t see any issue with running these plugins together.

    The error message “Problem with nonce” is interesting. It can mean a few different things, depending on a number of circumstances. The most likely explanation is that you were viewing a very old cached version of your homepage.

    This might happen if you have “Enable caching for all visitors” selected in the WP Super Cache “Advanced” settings, and a very high number under “Cache Timeout” on the same page. Can you please check both of these settings?

    Generally, I’d recommend only enabling caching for users who are not logged in.

    But the weird part is that you report still seeing that error message after deleting your cache via the wp-admin area. Do you have any other caching tools enabled, which may be caching your homepage?

    Can you please try an experiment, to see if it gets past the issue? It’s quick an easy:

    1. Visit your homepage, but add “?cache_buster=” followed by a random number to the web address. e.g.: “https://example.com/?cache_buster=12234”
    2. Try clicking on the Delete Cache option in the admin bar.

    That first step should bypass any caching that may be loading a stale nonce. If that works, try visiting your homepage normally, and checking if the “Delete Cache” button still gives an error.

    Had same problem when I opened website with GET parameters and tried deleting cache, going to same address but without “?=” and clearing cache worked. well.
