    every time i activate W3 Total Cache , anyone can access my site and the password screen initially appears , but if you refresh the page it will show it.

    I cleared my browsers cache , purged all pages on the site and it happens every time , so i have to leave Total Cache disabled so site remains private.

    any reason why this happens

    Hello,

    I’ve been doing some looking into the issue. Turns out the plugin won’t be able to work properly if you have the caching plugin active. The reason for this is that the login page gets cached by the plugin for every page, so even when you are logged in you will still be delivered the cached version of that page which is the ‘login’ screen. It seems also sometimes (as in your case), the actual website gets cached for every page, so even when you are logged out you will still be delivered the cached version of that page which is the actual website.

    There’s no way that I know of to work around this conflict with caching pages. I plan to add a notice to the plugin page so that users know it is not compatible with sites that have caching plugins.

    Thanks,
    Justin
