Cloudflare 'Cache Everything' is what can break Newspaper

Posted in: Newspaper

I’ve been through the archives of this forum and many people have had the problem of mobile version showing on desktop, desktop version showing on mobile, etc.

From my tests, this all comes down to Cloudflare rather than any plugins. I may be wrong, but this is my experience.

Here is what causes it:

Firstly, enabling Cloudflare, using minify, Browli, etc., is fine.

What causes the mobile/desktop problem is the Page Rule: yoururl.com/* – Cache Everything

As soon as that rule which many find essential to running their site – is enabled, the problem starts.

One recommendation I saw was to select ‘Respect Existing Headers’ under Browser Cache TTL. However, that did not fix the problem for me.

So the issue is, Cloudflare + Cache Everything can break Newspaper by mixing up mobile and desktop.

I’d be interested to know if the developers have any new insight on this besides the recommended Cloudflare settings (they do not fix this problem). Could there be a work around/fix?

I would also be interested to hear from those who do have Cache Everything set and *don’t* have the mobile/desktop theme mix-up. Do you have any idea why it could break some Newspaper themes and not others?

How I’ve fixed it permanently (I think).

Bought WP-Rocket -> activated separate mobile caching

Simple as that… shame it cost me $49 for a one-year license but for all the recommendations by staff here of WP Super Cache, WP Rocket with its separate caching for mobiles is the only thing that has fixed the desktop/mobile problem.

Hi,

When the mobile version or amp is displaying on desktop is a cache problem, we recommend to use WP Super Cache plugin, this is a free plugin an tested with our theme, also we have a guide for the settings you should do -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/ also if you are using other cache plugins please deactivate theme and make a test.

Thank you!
