Comments on: W3 Total Cache http://weblogtoolscollection.com/pluginblog/2009/07/27/w3-total-cache/ Time to break out that old code Wed, 26 Oct 2011 09:53:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Sarah Gooding http://weblogtoolscollection.com/pluginblog/2009/07/27/w3-total-cache/comment-page-1/#comment-127360 Sarah Gooding Sun, 06 Jun 2010 02:55:51 +0000 http://weblogtoolscollection.com/pluginblog/?p=438#comment-127360 I am using this plugin with WPMU 2.9.2 and having a problem getting CDN to work for files located in the /files directory. I am using Amazon Cloudfront. All other files in theme folders work fine for CDN. Although they are uploaded to amazon, they show a broken image on the site or they just simply show the the image without pulling it from CDN (a mixture of both). I have tried adding the following to the custom file list: files/* and /wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/* and neither seem to work. They upload all of the images just fine, but they do not display correctly. Perhaps this has something to do with how wpmu rewrites the file directory links? Have you ever encountered this issue? I really only need the blog 1 files to use CDN since that's where all the posts are written. The other blogs are not currently in use. Any hints in the right direction would be greatly appreciated! Also if you have any other tips for using this plugin with WPMU and BuddyPress specifically, I would be happy to write up a little guide for users in this category. The plugin is fantastic, and other than this one issue, I haven't had any other problems with it.

Issues with RSS were fixed about 2 months ago. @Nate Carlson, if you’re using the latest version please submit a bug submission ticket using the support tab of the plugin so I can take a look at your situation.

The thing is i noticed my blogs RSS feed is broken one the plug is activated and work fine again when i disable the plug... Disabling just the RSS caching doesn't seem to solve this is this a know issue? cheers Hi Frederick,

I’m new to blogging and don’t really understand fully what W3 Total Cache does – other then making things work faster.

The thing is i noticed my blogs RSS feed is broken one the plug is activated and work fine again when i disable the plug…

Disabling just the RSS caching doesn’t seem to solve this

is this a know issue?

cheers

Line break removal will definitely break code for various reasons, which is why it's not enabled by default. Your mileage will definitely vary. For most blogs 128MB or 256MB of memory cache is more than enough to fully benefit from W3 Total Cache. @Dougal, thanks for checking out the plugin.

I don't have any significant observations to make yet about its performance (maybe after I post about it and get a normal traffic spike). I will note that I had to turn of "line break removal" in the HTML minimize options. With it turned on, it broke one of my analytics scripts (reinvigorate) for some reason. I'm also not sure that I'm getting maximum bnefit, because I'm strapped for RAM on my server, so I'm not giving memcached as much memory as I'd like. But that's not W3TC's fault.

As far as conflict with wp-widge cache, I haven't looked into it, but any other caching is likely to be unnecessary and cause conflicts. I can't say more without testing and would appreciate your input. @Claudio, yes it will cache the output of your widgets if they produce HTML as opposed to dynamically load content via JavaScript for example (as you likely already understand).
