w3 total cache and max execution time

Hello @aeminium01

Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to help!
Can you please share where are you seeing the value of 600 when the W3TC is active? Are you saying that the plugin is changing the php.ini file values and the .htaccess?
Can you please also check if the wp-config.php has the set_time_limit();?

Please let me know exactly how and where you are seeing this so I can understand the problem better and assist you with this.

Thanks!

Hi

I’ve already insert set_time_limit() in wp-config.php with no success.

As you can see in the Woocommerce status:

Server Info: Apache
PHP Version: 8.1.22
PHP Post Max Size: 1 GB
PHP Time Limit: 600
PHP Max Input Vars: 10000
cURL Version: 7.87.0
OpenSSL/1.1.1p

As you can see max execution time/php time limit is 600, and if I disable W3 Total Cache the value turns to 3600 that is the value configured in php.ini and htaccess.

Also in the template status we have 600 instead of 3600, and also in the plugin that we use for products synchronization.

Hello @aeminium01

Thank you for your feedback.

Usually, the PHP INI settings are set in one place —?.htaccess?or?.ini?files; usually not both.
If Apache is using?mod_php?(Apache Handler), then?.htaccess?can be used.? An addon module may be able to be used to scan for?.ini?files and use them.
If Apache is using a CGI-style handler, then?.ini?files are used.
It all depends on the web server configuration.

You could create a?phpinfo.php?file containing?<?php phpinfo();?to show the PHP configuration outside of WordPress.

Can you please also share which settings are enabled in the W3 Total Cache general settings and let me know if you changed the GC time or minify time to 600 in W3TC?

Thanks!

Thanls for your reply.
