Hello,
Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to assist you with this
Can you please disable minify in W3 Total Cache Perfirmance>General settings, save all settings and purge the cache and see if the issue persists?
If the issue is gone, re-enable minify, and disable the settings in Performance>minify one by one (HTML minify, JS minify, CSS minify) and see which one might be causing the issue.
Make sure to save all settings and purge the cache after each option is disabled.
Thanks!Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHello,
Thank you for your feedback.
When you inspect the source and check the developer tools at the bottom of the page there should be a W3TC HTML snippet:
<!-- Performance optimized by W3 Total Cache. Learn more: https://www.boldgrid.com/w3-total-cache/
Can you please let me know if you can see this and also let me know the website URL?
Thanks!Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHello,
Thank you for your feedback.
This was created a long time ago, and now the access for this is restricted using API.
We’ll be checking this and making changes to this option.

Please note that the W3 Total Cache is a yearly subscription and bon monthly, so the price of 8.25 per month is for 12 months in total.
W3 Total Cache Pro licenses are valid on a per-install basis, meaning you need one for every WordPress instance you run. If you have three separate websites, you will need three licenses in total—one for each site. If you have five sites in a WordPress multisite instance, you need just one license for all five sites. If you are interested in bulk licensing, please email us for more information.

The ‘Enable database cluster’ option won’t appear on single-blog setups (bug). However, we are working on a fix for this, and this will be added in the future W3 Total Cache releases.
You can find the example of the file in ini/dbcluster-config-sample.phponce edited and placed to /wp-content/db-cluster-config.php – it starts to work regardless of the checkbox. there should be DB cluster word in footer comment
I hope this helps!
Thanks!

Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to assist you with this.
There is no link to download the Pro version of the W3 Total Cache plugin and the license key, should be added to the existing W3 Total Cache installation
Enter the license key in Performance>General settings, Licensing sub-box, license field, verify the license with the “verify license button” and save all settings.W3 Total Cache Pro should be active after these steps!
Thanks!

Can you please share which Cloudflare plan you are using to connect with the W3 Total Cache, and have you set any custom rules in WAF settings – Cloudflare dashboard?
Thanks!Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHello Nicolas,
I am sorry about the issue you are experiencing and I am happy to help.
Please completely remove and re-install W3 Total Cache
To completely remove W3TC:
1. Purge Cache
2. Deactivate and Delete Plugin
3. Check the .htaccess File (make a backup)
W3TC will create many directives in the .htaccess file to control the caching behavior. Each section will start and end with comments like “#BEGIN W3TC Page Cache core” and “#END W3TC Page Cache core”.
Ensure that no residual entries are left over in your .htaccess file after deleting the plugin.
4. Delete wp-content files and folders
– cache folder
– w3tc-config folder
– object-cache.php (if exists)
– advanced-cache.php (if exists)
– db.php (if exists)
– upgrade folder
– delete a w3-total-cache folder in wp-content/plugins/ (if exists)
5. Delete Cached Files from CDN (if using CDN)
Besides deleting all the relevant files, if you use CDN then ensure to purge the cached content from your CDN. This is necessary when you enabled minify option in W3TC settings. You should delete the minified and combined scripts and CSS files from your CDN server to avoid the site breaking on the browser.
6. Go to your wp dashboard and re-install W3 Total CacheLet me know if this helps!
Thanks!

Yes, you need a W3 Total Cache Pro license to use DB Cluster.
The button issue for a single-blog setup is still not fixed, unfortunately, however, It should work if the file is placed in WP_CONTENT_DIR . ‘/db-cluster-config.php’.
there should be a DB cluster word in the footer comment
Thanks!Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHello Melyssa,
Thank you for your feedback.
Yes, you should use a caching plugin to serve cached pages for the users, and make sure that the Browser Cache is enabled, so it’s always recommended to use W3 Total Cache. Depending on the website some advanced features like Minify or Object Caching can also help. YOu should not rely on your server to serve the website as fast as you can, so W3 Total Cache is the way to go.
To answer your questions:- W3 Total Cache does not set any cookies
- Most of the plugins for cookies and cookie banners are compatible with the W3 Total Cache so there are no compatibility issues.
- No, W3 Total Cache does not affect any cookies set or shown in Chrome developer tools
I am not sure what is the problem with the Maintenance Pro however, you can temporarily disable W3TC to confirm that there are some compatibility issues.

There should be no issues with installing and using W3 Total Cache when the website is password protected as long as the permissions allow W3TC to write in those directories, for example, the .htaccess file creates a /cache/ folder, etc.
W3 Total Cache does not use or collect website visitors’ data and is fully GDPR compliant.
As for the CDN, this is the option in the W3 Total Cache. However, you also need to be signed up with a CDN provider, for example, Stackpath. Please check more about this in our article.I hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions.

Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to assist you with this.
In W3 Total Cache Performance>Page Cache, there is a “Late initialization” setting. This is available with Disk: Basic or any memory-based caching.
Have you tried enabling this and see if it helps!?
Thanks!Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHello Jon,
Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to assist you with this.
In W3 Total Cache Performance>Page Cache settings, there is a sub-option called Aliases where you can specify full home URLs of your mirrors so that the plugin will flush it’s cache when content is changed. For example http://my-site.comhttp://www.my-site.comhttps://my-site.com
Try adding the URLs to the Additional home URLs: field and let me know if it helps!Thanks!

Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHello,
I am sorry about the issue you are experiencing and I am happy to assist you with this.
I can confirm that W3 Total Cache is not a virus, and 1.5 million installs can confirm this also. I’ve checked your website and I can see it’s loading fine at the moment.
CI can also see that you are using some other optimization plugin, and the most likely problem can be the conflict with some other optimization plugin.
Can you please confirm if you’ve had any plugins installed before W3TC for the optimization?

I am sorry about the issue you are experiencing and I am happy to assist you with this.
Can you please clarify, if you are referring to the W3 Total Cache plugin? Can you also please describe the steps to reproduce the problem or share any screenshots of the issue?
I’ve checked your website and I do not see the W3 Total Cache enabled there.Thanks!

Thanks!Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHello Peter,
Thank you for your feedback.
This means that W3TC is not calling a purge.
Please drop us a note via the plugin in Performance>Support with the reference of this topic, and I’ll share a code that you can use to block 3rd-party plugins/themes to call the purge_allThanks!
Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHello Peter,
Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to assist you with this.
This may be called by some other plugins as well, depending on a theme or the plugins you are using. Since you are updating a product category, there is a chance that woocommerce is calling flush_all.
The W3 Total Cache only purges the page that is updated.
To confirm this, please disable all purge settings in the Performance>Page Cache>Purge policy and let me know if the problem persists.
If the issue persists, it means that 3rd party plugin//them is calling the purge and we have a programmatic solution for this.Thanks!
Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHello Michael,
Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to assist you with this.
This is not a bug, it’s a feature! 🙂
In W3 Total Cache, all silencers are there by intent.
For example, unlinks may try to remove the already removed file by another thread 1ms ago.
Removing will cause more harm to runtime operations than profit. This is also the case for mkdir.Also, any deeper checks in that critical place will affect performance.
No simple solution here, however, it makes sense of course that you reported this.Thanks!
Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHello Marc,
Sorry for the late reply.
There is no option to do this via the wp-config.php file. You can try is adding db-config.php
Please check more details on our wiki page.

Since this is a public forum, I’ve removed all sensitive information from your post. I’ve managed to find the subscriptions and you used the PayPal email instead of those mentioned in the email to purchase W3 Total Cache Pro.
I’ve sent the invoices to the emails provided.
Thanks!Marko VasiljevicKeymasterHello Stephanie,
Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to assist you with this.
You can call the W3 Total Cache function w3tc_dbcache_flush(); to purge the DB cache. You can also use wp_cli and call wp w3-total-cache flush database.Thanks!
