You can tell I’m working quite hard at this..I attempted debugging and have no idea if I did it right. Remember that I’m not a coder. Just trying to get wp-super-cache to work. After “debugging” if I even did it right, I got this error in my browser:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_GLOBAL in [“my directory”]/wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/wp-cache-phase2.php on line 12

This is the 12th line:

error_log( "blah\n", 3, "/tmp/err.txt" ) global $wp_cache_gzip_encoding;

Is that how I use error log() to debug?

Remember, my issue is that the super cache folder never gets created. wp-cache works just fine but the super-cache side never seems to trigger.

What eventually worked Michael? I’m running into the same issue. I looked at everything in the readme.

Complete noob to www.ads-software.com here though I have done a decent amount of research to get to this point. I’m trying to make the site as fast as possible. I was unable to get wp-super-cache to work (the directory doesn’t get created) though wp-cache works so at least I have that much working.

I’m wondering if it is possible to configure combine.php on top of wp-cache or whether I’d have to use one or the other.

What exactly does turning off writeability for the main folder do? Will I still be able to update the site?

Obvious noob here though I understand how to change the settings. Just not sure how making that warning change to read-only will affect my WordPress installation.

I think I understand what you’re saying now.

I tried hosting the links externally on both wordpress.com and Flickr. What happened was that the image file increased about 2.7x the size it was when hosted from my directory.

So it’s really a balance between whether you’re looking for loading speed or looking to protect bandwidth.

Thanks for the reply, haochi. I wish I had a better hosting plan but I’m just starting out so it is a very basic plan, so I really don’t know that hosting images on my site will help speed.

Lorelle on WordPress puts it this way: “A server can only handle a certain number of requests at a given time, so trimming down the number of items or off-loading content to a second server can dramatically improve performance. For example, if you are going to have a post with several images embedded in it, consider uploading those to an image sharing site like Flickr and then embedding them in your page. That way, when visitors come to your site the images are being served up by Flickr’s giant servers which can easily withstand the load.”

Also, I’m uploading the wp-super-cache plug-in as well now. Glad I learned about that one!

I’m trying Disqus for the first time but I’m a new blog without a user base so I can’t help you out much.

I would go here to get some information comparing 6 services (Webware article posted a few weeks back): https://www.webware.com/8301-1_109-9898697-2.html

And if you want to get Disqus you may want to get the updated code here that wont make your site invalidated for W3C:
