    Hi, I added W3 Total cache to the website I am working on but I am having trouble excluding certain pages. I am using Member Mouse as a payment system plugin and do not want any pages from that plugin to have cache since it could cause issues for the payment process. I tried filling out the section in W3 for excluding pages but it did not seem to work. Please let me know if you know how to resolve this. Thanks.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hello @meggranit

    Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to assist you with this.
    I’ve checked the page you shared, and this page contains a Query string. I can see that you are using Disk: Enhanced as a caching method for Page Caching, and by default, the URL’s with query strings are not cached, therefore, this page is not being cached. You can also see this when inspecting the page source:

    Page Caching using disk: enhanced (Requested URI contains query)

    In general, if you want to exclude any page from being cached (lets assume the page does not contain query string), just add the page to Performance>Page Cache>Advanced>”Never Cache following pages” filed:
    /some-page/
    This is the same if you want to exclude pages from being minified in Performance>Minify>Advanced>”Never Minify following pages” filed:

    /some-page/

    Make sure to save all settings and purge the cache once the pages are added to exclusion

    I hope this helps!
    Thanks!
