Hello, I have a website that uses TutorLMS for providing college courses and have had issues with Breeze plugin a few times already. There is a new issue now. After updating Breeze from version 2.4.0. to 2.4.2. there is a issue where a user makes a login into his profile, but then after he has logged in and clicks on certain course, he is thrown back to login page. So basically after a successful login, user is sent back to login page again when he clicks on the course (he must be logged in to preview course) and he cannot even access the course. I disabled Breeze plugin and the issue is gone. Could you please link me version 2.4.0. to download until you resolve this issue?
I always thought that after installing and uninstalling a plugin, all the leftovers would disappear, but this one doesn’t.
Plug is simple, works, does the job!
Plug support is awesome – Muhammad from support helped me and didn’t give up until I was satisfied. Well done.
As a Cloudways user, I have Breeze installed on all 10+ of my WordPress websites. I find it to be a very solid cache plugin.
My oldest site was using WP Rocket instead. Recently switched that one to Breeze, too, and have no regrets.
My belief is that the rating for this plugin is too low. Cache is difficult and can be confusing, that’s the nature of the beast.
I’m having an issue with Breeze cache interfering with WooCommerce mini-cart/cart contents.
Symptoms:
/?nocache to the URL instantly fixes the problem, which suggests server-side cache is serving a stale HTML copy.Troubleshooting already done:
wc-ajax, admin-ajax, wp-json) are bypassed and return cf-cache-status: BYPASS.woocommerce_items_in_cart, woocommerce_cart_hash, wp_woocommerce_session_, etc.).So this confirms that Breeze’s page cache is caching the HTML that contains the cart fragments, and serving a stale “cart=0” view to shoppers.
Question:
What is the recommended way to configure Breeze so that it never caches WooCommerce cart/session-dependent content (homepage, shop, category pages), while still allowing me to benefit from Breeze for static asset optimisations?
I’d like to avoid fully disabling Breeze if possible, but right now it looks like it’s caching the mini-cart info even though WooCommerce uses cookies to identify sessions.
Thank you
