Site Has Erratic Display w/ Cache Activated

Oh, and what it does to IE is indescribable. ^_^;

I’ve just turned Database Cache off.

OK, that didn’t fix the problem. Turning off Minify.

*sigh* It took an entire day of reading and ultimately watching folks say how to set this bloody thing up. *_*

That is what I mostly went with, with some other tweaks.

I used https://gtmetrix.com/wordpress-optimization-guide.html to try to help things. There’s more work that can be done.

About the time I get it working and migrated to my live site (https://anime.astronerdboy.com), on a whim, I decided to check the blog via IE 11, Opera 19.0, and Chrome 33 (I normally use Firefox, for which I’m on version 27). For Firefox and Opera, everything looks fine. For Chrome, Google Adsense ads do not appear, nor do my Twitter “Follow Me” nor my Facebook “Like” elements appear or work. They were working prior to having W3-Total-Cache installed.

I tried disabling everything, but that did not resolve the problem. This is VERY frustrating.

OK, I have FOUND the problem, and it isn’t W3-Total-Cache. At home, I only use Firefox to browse. At work, I have to use IE and once in a while, Chrome. So if I’m one one of those other browsers and want to check for new comments or something on the blog, I see the display, which did have Adsense working properly.

This morning when I got to work, I checked and indeed, everything is working fine in Chrome and IE. That told me that I had a local PC problem, which after further research, turned out to be Avast! I love Avast! for my firewall, anti-virus, etc., but it appears that they block ads automatically in Chrome and IE. While that is annoying, at least I know what is happening and why, which is a relief. I was really afraid my blogs were jacked up.
