Hi there — I’m currently testing Watu quiz on my site, and I had this same problem. How can we have some kind of submit protection — either a captcha or the honeypot — without getting this “no answer to the verification question” error?

OK, so in case anyone else is having this question, apparently you can NOT upgrade to pro from within the Lite version of the plugin. Here are the instructions I received from support, hopefully it will save someone the frustration I went through trying to figure it out.
1.) Login to your WordPress site, where Swift Performance Lite is installed.
2.) Go to Plugins menu, click to Deactivate at Swift Performance
3.) Keep all settings (don’t touch anything on deactivation screen)
4.) Click to Deactivate button
5.) Uninstall Swift Performance Lite from WordPress
6.) Please login to your swiftperformance.io account here: https://swiftperformance.io/my-account/
7.) Please download Pro
8.) Go back to your WordPress Plugins view
9.) Click to Add New button at the top
10.) Click to Upload Plugin button at the top
11.) Select the recently downloaded Swift Performance Pro ZIP file (swift-performance.zip)
12.) Click to Install Plugin
13.) Click to Activate Plugin
14.) Follow the steps in Setup Wizard

Hi Herman, thanks!
I tried this, and ran into a couple of problems. I’ll describe them below. But maybe a simpler solution would be a plugin. There is a plugin called Custom Post Limits that does everything I could possibly want to do. https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/custom-post-limits/

Do you know if there are any compatibility issues with Astra? I’ve installed it and it seems to be working.

Here are the problems that I had with the code you gave me:

1) This also limits the posts I see in the back end if I filter them by category. For example, if I have 40 posts with the category “podcast” and filter to see just those, I only see ten of them and there are no pagination links to let me access the others. I also tried editing the code to target specific categories instead of all of the archives, and only those targeted categories got messed up in the backend.

2) The pages of previous and past posts that are linked at the bottom of the home page are limited to whatever I set for the home page. That is, if I set it to 3 posts, then all those pages only have three posts each. This creates a LOT of pages to be cached.

Thanks very much, Pascal! So just to be abundantly clear, I can just deactivate AMP in the post edit box, and don’t need to do any redirects or other measures just to keep the SEO so my non-amp pages will keep their rankings?
Oh, and btw, the plugin is working great for me — thanks for making it available to us! It’s just a few pages where I think I should deactivate it based on my Analytics.

Woo hoo, thanks James! I will experiment and post my findings here (so it will help other people too).
All the best,
Lori

Oh gosh, you are fast! Thanks!
I’m not sure if that would work (sorry, I’m not so great at this!).

The ads I use get inserted by a plugin (the old “Adsense Deluxe”) via short codes. I usually insert the ads manually in the body of the post.
This is the code I use:
<div class="alignright"><!--adsense#red_rect--></div>

I want them to show on the non amp pages (it’s a square at the top right of the content area) but get completely excluded from amp. So I thought making a class like .notonamp and doing something like this combined with something in functions.php would be the easiest.

<div class="alignright notonamp"><!--adsense#red_rect--></div>

If I’m thinking about this the wrong way, just let me know!

And thanks again for your help!

Oh wow, I ran into this problem just now and this solved it for me too. Thanks for saving me a crap-ton of time trying to figure it out on my own!

Wow, been a while since I posted this and never received an answer, so thanks icepin for the tips and akhasis for the bump!

Back then I was more worried about getting penalized by Google than having my caching work properly. So I ended up just disabling W3TC to get the plugin I’m using to work properly, and never reactivated it. I will give icepin’s solution a try.
Cheers,
Lori

Hi Megatemas, would you mind sharing how you got this plugin to work with W3TC? I have it working fine on one site that does not use any caching plugins, but on the site where I have W3TC installed it only works if I disable the plugin. If you’ve got it working, I’m sure I’m just missing a setting.

Thanks in advance,
Lori

Hi Julie — thanks so much, I will see if I can figure out where that Prototype library is coming from. Sorry to be late getting back to you — got busy here for a few days. Your support is super ??

You are ten kinds of awesome, Julie!

Here is the link:

Please don’t stress over this — I have a lot of work to do on revamping my site, so I’m not in any urgent rush or anything. I’m just really looking forward to trying your plugin ??

Hi again, Julie! Here is the screenshot:

Hope it helps!

Hi — wow, that was fast! You rock ??

I found this red line when I launched developer mode in Chrome:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘replace’ of undefined

underneath that in yellow, there was also this warning:
event.returnValue is deprecated. Please use the standard event.preventDefault() instead.

Does this shed any light?

Thanks very much for the advice, Simon! I’ll give it a try and see how it goes. It’s really nice of you to take the time to help out here the way you do, btw.

Oops, I see already that it’s not the sidebar css file, but the normal grey one that needs to be changed. But there are so many width settings to change…eek!
