Weird Interactions between W3TC in subdomains

    Hello –

    I am noticing a very odd behavior with W3TC. My site has 3 subdomains, based on country. They have this format:

    http://www.example.com
    ca.example.com
    au.example.com

    All subdomains have their own separate WP installation. The “ca.” and “au.” Subdomains are directories inside the hosting directory structure.

    There is a weird interaction between the “www.” instance of W3TC and the other instances. It can actually control them, to a point.

    For example, if the www version of the plugin is “active”, but it’s “insactive” in ca. and au. , the ca and au instances *will* show an active W3Cache. If you look at the source, you will see the CDN url, the minify code, etc.

    I did this experiment but activating/deactivating the plugin. I used a clean browser for each test where history/cookies/cache was erased:

    WWW AU End result in AU
    ————————————–
    inactive inactive Inactive
    active inactive Active (should be INACTIVE)
    inactive active Active

    Any thoughts at what the problem is or how to fix it?

    Best,
    Marco

    The table with results did not format well. Here is another format:

    Test 1:
    www = inactive
    au = inactive
    End result in AU domain = inactive

    Test 2:
    www = active
    au = inactive
    End results in AU domain = Active (should be inactive)

    Test 3:
    www = inactive
    au = active
    End result in Au domain = Active
