I went back and found and old backup I had of the W3-Total_cache settings and uploaded it and it STILL does not show my minify css and js settings. The are wiped out.

I lost my minify settings as well.. which is a REAL bummer.. I spent hours tweaking them and they are completely lost. I have all of my other settings.. but the css and js minify settings are not there at all. I tried downgrading back to the old version, but that didn’t bring them back. Maybe I’ll go back even further? I don’t understand how to use the Help tool to reinstall my settings?

Thanks!

I replaced the comments.php with the one from www.ads-software.com TwentyTen and it didn’t fix it.. BUT when I activate TwentyTen as my theme, I am able to post comments while Page Caching is on.

So you are correct, there is a problem with my Theme. It is a purchased theme, and in the interest of making it easy for people to customize the theme, they tend to put in all kinds of things that are most likely not necessary.. so I will go through and start pruning things until I isolate the problem.

Thanks again.

Hi remotay,I
That makes total sense! I’ll replace the comments.php page with a standard one! I remember tweaking it to put the comment box at the top of the page, and that must have broken something.

Thanks so much for pointing that out!

Now, on to reading about sprites! ??

OK.. I hacked my wordpress installation to fix the error, which may end up breaking wordpress for me down the road but it seems to have fixed the broken comments issue. I can now make comments when Page Caching is activated.

I commented out a couple do_actions in includes/comment.php

on line 1178 I commented it out:
//do_action('wp_insert_comment', $id, $comment);

on line 1273 also commented out”

//do_action('comment_post', $comment_ID, $commentdata['comment_approved']);

on lines 1503 and 1504 I commented out:

//do_action('wp_update_comment_count', $post_id, $new, $old);
	//do_action('edit_post', $post_id, $post);

Now I am able to make comments with Page Caching on.

Can you look into why this is and why I need to comment those out when I turn on Page Caching?

Thanks!

I have more info on the page caching breaking comments.

My website is set up where people have to be logged in to make comments.

When I turn on page caching, even though it’s off for logged in users, which they have to be in order to make comments, your plugin stops calling wp_redirect($location); at the end of wp-comments-post.php

This breaks for some reason:
$location = empty($_POST['redirect_to']) ? get_comment_link($comment_id) : $_POST['redirect_to'] . '#comment-' . $comment_id;

And it ends up hanging on the wp-comments-post.php page without redirecting back to the comment, even though the comment IS posted.

I have someone debugging it right now to see if we can figure out a solution.

To clarify my problem, I have turned off ALL plugins except for w3-total-cache and I still have the problem.

I am running PHP v 5.2.13 with WordPress 3.0 with mysql 5.0.91 and WordPress is installed in the root directory of the site (ie: it’s a standard install.) Even with EVERY other plugin disabled, I still cannot make comments when Page Cache is on (with the option “no cache” for logged in users – you have to be logged in to make a comment.)

In addition, when I turn off everything in w3-total-cache, and ONLY turn on Page cache, with pages not caching for logged in users, people cannot make comments.

After hitting submit, the site goes to a page /wp-comments-post.php and then just hangs there with a white screen. It might be some kind of redirect issue, but w3-total-cache is writing to the htaccess file with no problem.

The comment is made, it’s just that the person is not redirected back to the page where he/she made the comment.

Comments are very important to my site as I have over 175,000 of them and I get about 20,000 page-views a day on my site, so caching is very important to me as well.

Thanks fredericktownes if you can help me.

techotronic, I would REALLY like your plugin to allow me to add it to image links as well. I have people add image links in comments and I’d like them to open in Colorbox. I have a plugin called link-indication where I can add any class to any link, so I could add the class “colorbox-manual” to all image links, but your plugin doesn’t recognize those links. If it did that would be amazing!

Another colorbox plugin called Lightbox Plus DOES recognize these class links in the comments, but I prefer your plugin as yours hides flash, and works really well.

So I am putting in my vote for your plugin to recognize the class colorbox-manual in all links in the site, including in the comments.

Thanks!

Does anybody know how to update this plugin to handle paged comments. The link to the comment won’t link to a comment if paged comments is on.

Parap,
Do you know how to make the images clickable in the flash slideshow?

The flash slideshow viewer (Image Rotator) I know allows for that.. but it requires a link to be added to each image in the XML file.. but I don’t know how to make that happen with next-gen gallery.

Thanks so much!

Here is how you do it:

?random&random_cat_id=3 or ?random&random_post_type=post

Thanks JD @ jdh23.com !!

I would like to see an example of the other parameters as well… I am COMPLETELY stumped as to how to use them!

Thanks!

Resolved… upgraded to wp 2.5 and it all works perfectly!

I am running apache.. I have files in wp-content/cache/ and files in wp-content/cache/supercache/mywebsite…

But I am always logged in and I have about 12,000+ users that are always logged in as well.. so I should see some wp-cache pages that are cached, right? I’m talking about in the options where is shows the cached pages… I only see zero for wp=cached while I see 60 or so for super-cached.
