Title: Does this plugin recognize DONOTCACHEPAGE flag? Last modified: December 20, 2019 --- # Does this plugin recognize DONOTCACHEPAGE flag? * [CodeBard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codebard/) * (@codebard) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-this-plugin-recognize-donotcachepage-flag/) * I went through the code, however the plugin doesnt seem to recognize DONOTCACHEPAGE flag which all major WP caching plugins recognize. * Is there a way to tell WP Fastest Cache via PHP to not cache a page? Like setting a flag if a certain page which we dont want cached is being loaded?

We want to automatically (programmatically) exclude certain pages which our users gate/ lock to be only for members. So when a user gates a post to be only for members, we need to have a way to tell WP Fastest Cache that it shouldnt cache that page during page load. * Something like DONOTCACHEPAGE to prevent the page from being cached, or better, something like WPSC_SERVE_DISABLED flag of WP Super Cache that prevents serving a cached page and instead loads the live version. * Plugin Author [Emre Vona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emrevona/) * (@emrevona) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-this-plugin-recognize-donotcachepage-flag/#post-12261071) * thank you so much.

Looking forward to it. * Plugin Author [Emre Vona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emrevona/) * (@emrevona) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-this-plugin-recognize-donotcachepage-flag/#post-12262986) * I have an idea. A function is called if a developer wants to exclude a page. I can detect which plugin excludes the page this way. * Thread Starter [CodeBard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codebard/) * (@codebard) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-this-plugin-recognize-donotcachepage-flag/#post-12263196) * Might work, but how is that exactly going to work? * If that function is called during a page load, Fastest Cache will not serve the page from the cache or something? * Plugin Author [Emre Vona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emrevona/) * (@emrevona) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-this-plugin-recognize-donotcachepage-flag/#post-12263211) * > Might work, but how is that exactly going to work? * A constant may be defined or the function may add something into the html source. * > If that function is called during a page load, Fastest Cache will not serve > the page from the cache or something? * Exactly. * Thread Starter [CodeBard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codebard/) * (@codebard) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-this-plugin-recognize-donotcachepage-flag/#post-12263214) * Checking for a constant could definitely work. I believe WP Super Cache and W3 Total Cache are also doing it. Fastest Cache can check if that constant is defined, and then skip serving page from cache. * Plugin Author [Emre Vona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emrevona/) * (@emrevona) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-this-plugin-recognize-donotcachepage-flag/#post-12274609) * I added the feature for you. Please take a look at the following tutorial. * [https://www.wpfastestcache.com/features/exclude-page/#hook](https://www.wpfastestcache.com/features/exclude-page/#hook) * you need to delete wp fastest cache and download the following version to get the latest changes because I did not release the new version yet. * [https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wp-fastest-cache.zip](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wp-fastest-cache.zip) * Thread Starter [CodeBard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codebard/) * (@codebard) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-this-plugin-recognize-donotcachepage-flag/#post-12275392) * > Note: You need to add the following line into the wp-config.php to detect that > the page is excluded by which plugin or theme. * Is it ok if we define this in a plugin file instead of adding it to wp-config. php? * Because it is inconvenient to have thousands of users add this line to their wp config. * Plugin Author [Emre Vona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emrevona/) * (@emrevona) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-this-plugin-recognize-donotcachepage-flag/#post-12275732) * no, you do not need to define anything in wp-config.php. it is just for debug. I removed this part from tutorial because it was confusing. * Thread Starter [CodeBard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codebard/) * (@codebard) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-this-plugin-recognize-donotcachepage-flag/#post-12280290) * Tested with the package you provided above: * When used from inside a function hooked to ‘wp’ hook, wpfc_exclude_current_page() does not trigger. * It turns out that if a page is cached, functions hooked to ‘wp’ action hook do not become available. Likely because WP Fastest Cache does its processing at a hook earlier than ‘wp’ hook? * What is the latest action hook which this function can be called during WP’s initialization? * Plugin Author [Emre Vona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emrevona/) * (@emrevona) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-this-plugin-recognize-donotcachepage-flag/#post-12280875) * Can you contact me via email please: [https://www.wpfastestcache.com/contact-us/](https://www.wpfastestcache.com/contact-us/) * [Peter Raschendorfer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/petersplugins/) * (@petersplugins) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-this-plugin-recognize-donotcachepage-flag/#post-12297751) * Following this topic, because I’m also interested in such a functionality to use with my plugin [https://wordpress.org/plugins/404page/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/404page/) * Please keep me informed * Plugin Author [Emre Vona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emrevona/) * (@emrevona) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-this-plugin-recognize-donotcachepage-flag/#post-12298217) * Please take a look at the following tutorial. * [https://www.wpfastestcache.com/features/exclude-page/#hook](https://www.wpfastestcache.com/features/exclude-page/#hook) * you need to delete wp fastest cache and download the following version to get the latest changes because I did not release the new version yet. * [https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wp-fastest-cache.zip](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wp-fastest-cache.zip) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 16 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-this-plugin-recognize-donotcachepage-flag/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-this-plugin-recognize-donotcachepage-flag/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘Does this plugin recognize DONOTCACHEPAGE flag?’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/wp-fastest-cache/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=2064586) * [WP Fastest Cache - WordPress Cache Plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-fastest-cache/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-fastest-cache/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-fastest-cache/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-fastest-cache/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-fastest-cache/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-fastest-cache/reviews/) ## Tags * [caching](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/caching/) * [DONOTCACHEPAGE](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/donotcachepage/) * [flag](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/flag/) * 16 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [nhantam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nhantam/) * Last activity: [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-this-plugin-recognize-donotcachepage-flag/page/2/#post-12621371) * Status: not resolved
