It’s been happening since the start really when I created groups and forums though I considered it as it needed time to get these up and running. However, upon topics and posting, there are big delays in these showing up live. I don’t know why but say I’ve posted a topic and >10 minutes later still hasn’t shown up.
Why is this?
Using a cache plugin perhaps? You need to exclude the forum form any cache plugins.
Yeah I’m using WP Super Cache and figured it was that – problem is I don’t know how to exclude it :/
Somewhere in the options should be a place to enter urls to exclude from the cache. Just add the forum permalink.
Well, it doesn’t seem to be as simple as that. The nearest thing seems to be in the CDN and exclude if substring (.php) though it includes directories wp-content, wp-includes –
I don’t know where and what kind of information I put to exclude the forum page at all
WP Super Cache Settings > Advanced scroll down to where it says “Add here strings (not a filename) that forces a page not to be cached….”
add in the forum page there.
If your forum page is named forum for example you would enter /forum/ there.
just tried that and inserted /forum/ in advanced and in the suggested area. However after deleting the cache through super cache and on my browser, it didn’t work. Do I insert the URL or just forum. /forum/ doesn’t work on its own..
I am not familiar with wp-super-cache these days but I have to admin I thought that /forum/ would do it. That is – assuming your forum is actually called ‘forum’!
Is there no documentation or help of any kind?
Yeah my forum is simply called ‘forum’ but to no avail
It has some strings inside such as
wp-.*.php
index.php
maybe If I insert a .php for simplepress thought not sure which one to call.
Re-did it and it’s working now! Thank you, just one more issue to resolve and I’m all good!
Hi there,
I’m getting the same option again however with BWP Minify – minismises the CSS and JS files – I see it says
Scripts to be ignored (not minified)
What do I put to ignore for the forum?
same option again? if you want to exclude a specific list, you would have to list every js file from simple press… not terribly friendly UI… you cant tell it to ignore a page and everything loaded by that page??
Do I get this from the plugin files? Any direction with where the js are in which files? Yeah, not friendly at all :/
Well all of the core scripts are loaded in the file /simple-press/sp-startup/forum/sp-forum-framework.php in the very first function of that file.
But then some of the SP plugins will also load scripts so you need to work through each plugin you are using – go to that plugins folder and look in the /resources/ folder for the script file names.
