 * Hi – I’m getting this issue all of a sudden, everything was working fine as of
   yesterday: WordPress transients may not be working. Try deactivating or reconfiguring
   caching plugins. issue 425
 * I read the entire forum discussion concerning this issue and I don’t use W3 Total
   Caching or any other site caching plugins. How can I resolve?

 * Do you get any failure messages in Settings / Geo Mashup / Tests?

 * Thanks for the quick reply! Everything looks clean in the tests:
 * Tests completed in 7196 milliseconds.
    58 assertions of 58 passed, 0 failed.
 * I just added this line to my robots.txt: Disallow: /?geo_mashup_content=render-
   map*
 * Just checked again with a clean browser cache and the issue is still there. Thoughts?

 * I just realized that if I create a new map, this generates a new map_data_key
   and resolves the issue. Interesting. This is probably a temporary fix, and will
   likely happen again, right?

 * Probably. Something is behaving like an object cache on your site. It could be
   your host or another plugin. A reliable solution would require figuring that 
   out.
 * I do plan to make Geo Mashup less dependent on transients in future versions 
   to avoid situations like this, but clearly I’m not there yet.

 * OK, thanks. In the meantime, I’ll see if the robots.txt does the trick, contact
   my web host, and hand-replace the iframe source every few days if necessary. 
   Again, I appreciate the quick reply and the help!

 * The robots.txt entry just prevents search engines from getting errors, it does
   nothing for regular users.
 * If you’re lucky this is a one-time glitch with a single transient. I’d be interested
   to hear anything you figure out.

   know!

 * The transients issue happened again. My web host says that we do have a PHP caching
   extension called xcache installed. I’m running other websites on this server 
   where speed is a must, so I can’t disable xcache for the purposes of this plugin,
   unfortunately. Do you have or know of a workaround for this?

 * Depending on your hosts’ configuration you may be able to disable xcache for 
   a single domain:

 * If not, you’ll have to wait for a Geo Mashup version with optional transients.

 * Awesome! I made a few customizations to the plugin to fit my site (custom marker,
   etc) – could you tell me which file(s) changed?

 * Hopefully you’re not modifying geo mashup files – use the companion geo-mashup-
   custom plugin instead:

 * OK – I’ve got the new version installed. So far so good. I’ll let you know if
   I encounter any other transients notifications. Thanks!

 * The new version is working flawlessly so far. Thank you! Do you think it’s safe
   to add back xcache or any other caching script like APC?
