Clearing cache doesn’t work

    Hi, I’m finding it very hard to test if the geo location based pricing is working for my store. No matter what I do with purging cache, my prices show only in the base currency (US dollars) from (Irish) ip address. I’ve set all EU countries to show Euros and all other countries to show dollars.

    I’ve had someone in Spain check and he sees prices on some pages in Euros and other pages in dollars, and I’ve got another person in Ireland who sees different currencies on different pages, too but not the same pages e.g. category pages show dollars in Ireland, and in Spain they show in Euros. Both Spain and Ireland should be showing the same single currency (Euro), but they are not.

    Is there any way to clear what the plugin has saved for my ip address so I can test properly? And what are the best settings for me to use to ensure that each country sees the correct currency?

    This is what I currently have:
    Auto Detect: Auto Detect Currency
    GEO API: External
    Currency by Country: ON
    Currency 1 (dollar)Countries: blank (to pick up all non-EU countries)
    Currency 2 (Euro)Countries: all EU countries

    Is there any settings available in the paid version of this plugin that will make this work better?

    Note, I’m using W3 Total Cahce, which you have listed as compatible.

    Hello leighmaher,
    The auto detect feature will not work with W3 Total cache plugin.
    If you need to use cache, so you may try this combo.
    WP Super Cache
    Country Caching For WP Super Cache

    Hi Julian, thanks for the reply. I will try that but just to let you know I have the same problems even when I don’t have any cache plugin installed. I’ve got W3 total cache uninstalled now and it’s giving me the same behaviour.

    Hi Julian, I can confirm that it happens with or without either of these plugins installled. Also, even with W3 Total Cache installed it does work in some instances, so I’m not sure the issue lies with cache?

    Hi Julian, after much testing I’ve discovered the issue. It’s a conflict with one of the plugins I’m using: Mailchimp for WooCommerce.

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/mailchimp-for-woocommerce/

    Have you had this issue before? Is there anything that can be done to remove the conflict? I’ll also contact Mailchimp to see if there’s anything they can do.

    P.s. I’ve still got W3Total Cache activated and it’s working fine.

    Julian, just to update you again: it seems that W3 Total Cache does cause problems, too. I had to turn off cache settings on that to have it work fully correctly. The conflict with Mailchimp for WooCommerce is still a problem, too.

    You said to try WP Super Cache, which I did but it won’t work with W3 total cache which is the best plugin I’ve found for minifying and combining CSS and JS. Is there any other cache plugins that will work. Everything I’ve tried except for W3 gives me horrible page load speeds.

    Hi Julian, if I activate it, it will only show prices in my base currency ($), no matter the location. If I deactivate it, the correct currency shows in all locations.

    It is working fine for me. The auto detect problem should be caused by the cache plugin. Sorry we don’t have a solution for this.

    Ok. I’m not using the caching plugin now. So, this is not a factor anymore. The only thing I’m changing is activating and deactivating the Mail Chimp plugin.
