I clear the browser cache before I visit my website as an unlogged user so I can see what a regular user sees. If I view the website logged in then I see the new posts, but not as an unlogged user. This is very inconsistent though. I’ll have to keep investigating. For example, all of my new posts immediately published yesterday, but none posted immediately this morning (I had to clear all caches and then they showed). It could be some weird browser cache problem on my end. I do know. I’ll have to keep testing.

Thanks for the suggestion.

You can cancel this request.

I spoke with tech support and it is not possible to install memcached on cloud sites(which I am) – memcached in only available on their cloud servers. Looks like I’ll be using disk based caching from now on.

I’m sure the error code might help too:

“Page caching is not working properly. Memcached server(s): [server IP removed] may not running or not responding. This error message will automatically disappear once the issue is resolved.”

Hehe. Thanks Frederick for your patience and further elaboration. Your last explanation was very clear to me now. My apologies for the lack of earlier understanding. I plan to implement W3 Total Cache with a CDN very soon now that I know it will work! Thanks!!

OK. Thanks. So it sounds like it does cache the actual advertisements. This won’t work for me. I sell ads based on number of impressions and if they are cached it will significantly reduce the actual impression count.

I know there are tons of website using W3 Total Cache with advertisement managers. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone out there could help out and explain how you use W3 Total Cache on a site that serves advertisements based on live impression counts.

Thanks,
Chris

I won’t minify what you referenced. Thanks for that.

So sorry, but I am having trouble understanding your last statement because of my own ignorance:

You said, “Enabling page caching will cache entire page output created by WordPress (widgets ad all), it will not break your existing scripts by itself.”

Does your statement mean that W3 Total Cache will actually cache the external calls (and not just the JS code) and thus affect the number of impressions in DoubleClick for Publishers?

Thanks so much for your response. I really appreciate it.

Frederick – if you are out there and can answer this question, I would greatly appreciate it. I want to implement W3 Total Cache but need to make sure it will not affect by ad impressions as described above. Thanks!! Chris

Thanks for your response. That would great if it doesn’t cache the javascript external request. The javascript code does not change and could be cached if it could still make its external call to Google Ad Manager which would then output the appropriate ad. I will be curious to see what Frederick has to say.

Thanks!

Anyone?

Anyone have any ideas as to why its tracks my admin activities?

I am considering using Dukapress at BMED Press (https://www.bmedpress.com). I have not installed Dukapress yet as I need to figure out if appropriate for my website. The company is new so our products are very limited at the present time. Our first book comes out at the end of September so I am trying to figure out how I will handle my e-commerce transactions in the next few weeks.

That would be fantastic if you could do a blog post on this! Feel free to post the link in this thread when done.

Also, I wonder if there is a way to accomplish this using a custom file of some type? This way custom payment processor code changes won’t get erased with each DukaPress update.

Thanks for the quick response.

One question I had is regarding payments. If my payment processor is not one of the ones built into DukaPress, would there be a way to use another service? I know that may be a difficult question to answer.

Ok. I didn’t realize that there was a way to detect a post versus archive built-in. It sounds like I am OK then. Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it.
