Caching issue with WordPress Zero Spam plugin enabled

    Hello,

    I found a problem where the WP Fastest Cache plugin saves a page with a message about blocking malicious bots in the cache, and then displays that page on the next visit to real good visitors. Thus, real visitors to the site are shown a page about blocking bots instead of normal content.

    This page is generated by the WordPress Zero Spam plugin. The page should only be displayed to malicious bots, not good visitors. The Zero Spam plugin is very good at protecting against spam bots that target feedback forms and comments on posts. I’ve been using Zero Spam for a long time, but only now have I noticed the problem described above with caching enabled. A temporary solution is to disable caching on the site. But it doesn’t suit me.

    Is there any way to solve this problem?

    I also created a branch on this problem in the WordPress Zero Spam plugin support forum

    I will be grateful for the answer and help.
    Thank you!

    PHP 7.4.21
    WordPress 5.7.2
    WP Fastest Cache 0.9.1.9
    WordPress Zero Spam 5.0.12

    did you try another cache plugin? can you be sure that WordPress Zero Spam works with the cache plugins properly?

    Hello,
    Thank you for your reply. I can observe this problem only when caching with your plugin. I have never used other caching plugins on any of my sites. Also, I’m guessing that this problem may be more to do with the WordPress Zero Spam plugin. Most likely Zero Spam conflicts with the cache plugins in some way.

    you should contact the developer of WordPress Zero Spam to be sure.

    Yes. I created a thread in the support forum on the Zero Spam plugin page yesterday, but no response yet. I hope that a solution will be found. For now, this problem can be marked with the status “Pending”))

    Hello @lemouz
    No. This problem is still relevant, because the developer of the Zero Spam plugin has not yet solved it. On sites where Zero Spam was installed I temporarily disabled WP Fastest Cache to avoid caching of pages, which are created by Zero Spam plugin and should be shown only to bots.
