Not an issue with the theme but more a question for the developers/community: what’s your preferred caching setup for Newspaper? What do tagDiv run or recommend as an ideal setup? And has anyone experienced random downtime using WP Super Cache?
I’d used WP Super Cache in the past but had issues with my site going offline, which I tracked down to the plugin (although I couldn’t tell why). W3 Total Cache is my favourite caching plugin but isn’t approved for use with Newspaper, and as such has caused me issues with the newspaper dashboard (wiping settings).
So I’m back to WP Super Cache, and the random downtime has returned. Jetpack reports the site went down 6 times in one day, for between 5–13 minutes. Has anyone else experiences this? Google Search console doesn’t seem to show any connectivity errors, but the downtime is so quick I’m not sure it would. I have on occasion been able to confirm the site is actual down, so it doesn’t seem to be a false positive from Jetpack.
Other plugins we run are:
— Akismet
— Autoptimize
— CloudFlare
— Code Embed
— Contact Form 7
— Cookie Law Info
— Custom Facebook Feed
— Duplicate Post
— Google AdSense
— Jetpack
— Limit Login Attempts
— Mailchimp
— Regenerate Thumbnails
— Remove query strings from static resources
— Revolution Slider
— Simple Local Avatars
— tagDiv Mobile Theme
— tagDiv Social Counter
— tagDiv Speed Booster
— Use Google libraries
— Wordfence Security
— WP Smush
— WP Super Cache
— WP-Optimize
— WPBakery Visual Composer
— Yoast SEO
Could any of these be conflicting? There are a few of these that offer caching features.
Interested to hear other Newspaper users’ thoughts.
Hello,
Any one of those plugins can cause issues as you use quite a number of untested plugins and in most cases plugins conflict even with each-other. Not only conflict with the theme. Here is a list of tested plugins to use: http://screencast.com/t/LGEVqrzf4GaQ and maybe this guide will help also: https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/
Please try to disable any untested plugins and try to set up wp super cache according to the guide and then test your site again and see if you have any more downtime. You can also check your system status: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Thank you!
Hi Bogdan,
Thanks for the reply, that’s really useful. I think I’ll look at trimming back some of the plugins and see how I get on based on the list you’ve provided.
Thanks!
i had a problem with wp-rocket :https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/no-feature-pic-with-style-8/
Thanks Denny, I’ll give that plugin a steer. Seems my host has had issues the past 24 hours but that doesn’t explain the downtime earlier in the week. I’m experimenting with removing some of the untested plugins as Bogdan suggested and I’ll try and report back.
actually I did not speak of downtowns, but I just wanted to add a cache plugin
Hello denny,
Please notice that our caching plugin which we recommend for using is WP Super Cache because it is checked with the theme and seems to work as properly. For more information about this plugin, please check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/
Thanks for your understanding!
i think i’ll try it because i have troubles with template 7 and i think it’s due to wp-rocket
