    Hi,

    I use W3tc caching plugin which is one of the most popular plugin for wordpress. I use AIOWS plugin to enable cookie based brute force login.

    Now, the issue I am facing is, the page gets cached. I tried putting my “secret word” in page exclusion list in w3tc but had no luck. Hence, whenever I open the login url, I get redirected until I clear browser cache. I also have Browser Cache in W3TC to cache with Max-age and validation.

    Also, W3tc has options to exclude cookies from caching.

    Can someone please guide me how I am make these 2 work. I know this might be an easy work around but I am unable to figure it out.

    The secret word that you use will also be the value of your cookie.

    So you can tell W3TC to exclude caching when that cookie is present. This should make it to when use access that special URL, it will drop that cookie and then you won’t see a cached page anymore.

    The problem is mainly coming from W3TC showing a cached page. There is not much that feature of our plugin can do for it.

    @bling007 if you like to try a different cache plugin, try Hyper Cache. I use this plugin with AIOWSF and with the following feature Rename Login Page enabled.

    If you don’t want to use a different cache plugin you might like to implement Rename Login Page with W3TC instead of the Brute Force Prevention Firewall Settings feature.
