W3TC support

    Per discussion, support for W3TC would be beneficial, as W3TC is one of the (if not the) biggest caching plugins on WP (over 1m installs).

    I’m adding the following to my install:

    case 'w3-total-cache':
	foreach ($postsIDsToClear as $postIDToClear) {
		w3tc_flush_post((int)$postIDToClear);
		w3tc_cdn_purge_files(); //Pass rray consisting of uri paths (i.e /wp-content/uploads/optimum-gravatar-cache/avatar/2.jpg)
	}
break;

    and

    if (defined('W3TC')) {
	$this->cachePagePlugins='w3-total-cache';
	return;
}

    Using the w3tc_cdn_purge_files(); function is to be confirmed, based on: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/api-documentation-6/#post-11170484 – you likely do not want to “purge” a file, it’s probably more appropriate to “invalidate” a URI?

    My cron queue definitely clears down every time cron-jobs calls it! It appears to be working fine (OGC definitely worked as well!)

    CDN is good if it works.

    I think what you should do is check first because some pictures were not synced.

    I will run some checks, to see if I can find out which images did and didn’t upload – I will check logs as well to see if there were errors! ??

    Very strange… it looks like (at the moment) only 7.jpg didn’t update on my CDN… I’m going through them all manually and checking and so far that looks like the only one!

    All right @willstockstech, I’m just waiting.

    I have just checked W3TC – there were no upload failures or anything like that.

    I’m going to clear all my page caches now, and I have removed the CDN from serving the Gravatars, so I can see if it works fine without that in the mix!

    I will update my Gravatar shortly ??

    Hello @willstockstech

    Does the “Service Worker” of your site interfere by caching old gravatar?

    Do you confirm that the images have not been synced to the CDN?

    If you want, I can help you test the “Service worker”, just change your gravatar again.

    In theory, the service worker _shouldn’t_ affect it, because it’s a “Network First” service worker (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/super-progressive-web-apps/).

    I’m updating my Gravatar now – I’m logged out of my site and all my caches were last cleared about an hour ago, so let’s see what happens!

    OK – Gravatar updated now!

    OK thank you!

    @jomisica – I have just checked my site (from my phone) and I am seeing my new avatar everywhere now!

    It looks like the W3TC integration is working perfectly ?? ?? – It looks like it was my CDN that was either caching the images, or the upload just wasn’t working properly

    Hello @willstockstech

    Not everything. The image that appears in the about widget is the old one.

    About Me widget is using a customized image, I did not realize it.

    So the problem is with the CDN.

    But the CDN is not part of w3tc?

    I changed the about me widget yesterday as it was behaving strangely on certain pages (classes that were applied were being removed), so I set it to a static image rather than a Gravatar (it was previously!)

    Yes, it looks like the problem is either with:
    – Cloudfront caching the images at their edge’s
    – W3TC CDN uploader (as I was uploading the /avatar/ folder via W3TC’s CDN feature to AWS S3)

    I’ve disabled the W3TC CDN feature and I’m just serving the images from my server now instead. They’re not big images and I have HTTP/2 so it’s not a major issue ??

    Hello @willstockstech

    Very well.
    When I have time I will try to create an environment identical to yours so that I can understand what is causing this problem.

    Until then the plugin is left without W3TC support.

    These synchronization issues will happen even with version 2.

    If the images are not synced to CDN nothing is done.
