Bad news…even with CSS inlining disabled it started the same problem. I had to reboot the server again to disable it completely

OK thanks I will try disabling the CSS inlining feature. FYI, that was something that I was not using before last weekend, so perhaps that’s why I never had this issue before. I don’t understand why the error log shows nothing for last night and also for last weekend.

I downloaded the PHP error log, the only error relating to your plugin is this:

I edited the path down. This error is repeated today, but oddly enough nothing last night when the server crashed or last weekend when I was also having problems. Perhaps because I restarted the server it didn’t write the error to the log?

Ok I will get that for you…I enabled the plugin for one minute to see if the error report was there and down my site went again. Error 524 “a timeout has occurred”

Where are the error logs found?

I checked /wp-content/cache/asset-cleanup/ in cpanel…it’s 4kb so not large at all. Could it have been cleared when I uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin? I will check the php error logs now

Ok I emailed you the report

Hi Gabriel,

I had to disable the plugin entirely but I can try to turn it on quicky to retrieve the info file. I have had this plugin installed from when it was simpler, it seems that this has changed and been upgraded at some point. I recently started to make changes (from the end of last week) when Google started sending me mobile page speed warnings. I had W3 Total cache plugin and Asset Clean Up running for years together and this wasn’t an issue. I purchased Wp Rocket last week and kept Asset Clean Up active. However I noticed from this past weekend that my server was not responding and had to manually reboot it several times. Unfortunately WP rocket broke my site navigation so yesterday all I did was disable that plugin and enable W3 again. I was also on the Asset Clean up panel saving options, but I don’t remember exactly what. I noticed that with W3 total cache on that the css files that I want inlined are no longer inlined and I think I was just checking that. I hit save and it was spinning and spinning. Then I rebooted the server and nothing. The server was functional, but the plugin was taking so much PHP processing power that it could not accept and requests from visitors (503 error). So it’s a matter of resource usage spiraling out of control. This is a repeatable issue, and it happens with both WP Rocket and W3 Total Cache, so it’s not a conflict with those. Also, I have installed no new plugins and to the contrary have uninstalled plugins lately to try and slim things down.

The issue continues and my site search is continually being hit with these strange search strings…sometimes up to 400+ times a week. I went through my logs and did an IP lookup and found that the IP addresses belong to Google. I disallowed my search page from bots in robots.txt and that should end it.

This doesn’t work. I’ve tried with both spaces and without…the series of 1 1 1 is stopped, as are the others, but the pipes do not work. I will look at the server access logs, but this search is every day all day, so I suspect various IP addresses thanks

Thanks for your answer Nigro, however I mentioned in my post that I want to keep page cache active, not disable it. The cookies are used on the majority of the pages on my site, so setting this under rejected cookies is not a solution. The solution would be to have page cache on and have the cookies still work. If that is impossible with this plugin then it’s best to stop using it.

Any ideas from anyone on why page cache (set to memcached) is causing cookies to not work correctly?

Thanks

Thanks for this response, this also worked for me but I was obliged to switch back to W3 Total Cache from WP Super Cache. I find WP Super Cache much faster, but it doesn’t seem to have an easy way to exclude a particular cookie.

Oddly enough, after updating to the latest WP version this suddenly started to work. I would like to send only thumbnail size images (not full size images) and I want to link the title to the page from the favorited item. These two changes should be simple but can’t seem to get it to work…any advice? THanks!

Kyle, can you possibly provide some input into why this might not be working please?

I also used the code exactly as written, and just filled in the specific form info. The ID# of the email is 5 and the field entries are 2 and 7:

add_filter( 'gform_notification_5', 'email_favorites_list', 10, 3 );
function email_favorites_list($notification, $form, $entry)
{
	// Get the user's favorites and create a list
	$favorites = get_user_favorites();
	if ( !$favorites ) return $notification;

	$fq = new WP_Query(array(
		'post_type' => 'post',
		'posts_per_page' => -1,
		'post__in' => $favorites
	));
	if ( $fq->have_posts() ) :
		// Styles should be set inline for display in email clients
		$list = '<ul style="list-style-type:none;">';
		while ( $fq->have_posts() ) : $fq->the_post();
			$list .= '<li>';
			if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) $list .= get_the_post_thumbnail(get_the_id());
			$list .= '<h3>' . get_the_title() . '</h3>';
			$list .= '<p>' . get_the_excerpt() . '</p>';
			$list .= '</li>';
		endwhile;
		$list .= '</ul>';
	else :
		return $notification;
	endif; wp_reset_postdata();

	// Append the list to the notification message
	$notification['message'] = $list;

	// Change the to address to the user-specified email (this will change depending on your form)
	$notification['to'] = $entry[2]; // Email Field
	$notification['subject'] = __('A Favorites List from', 'textdomain') . ' ' . $entry[7]; // Name Field

	return $notification;
}
