Login With Ajax and cache

    I installed LWA to try resolve a problem with login status. I placed lwa shortcode in the widget section of the sidebar. When I went to the website and browsed some pages, the lwa just showed “Log In”. That was fine. Then I logged in. But when I revisited the previously-browsed pages, my login status was not updated, i.e. not displaying my name. I was served with the cached pages. I expected lwa would update the login status and displayed the user name. Am I missing something? Is there some settings I need to set? I use W3Total Cache on my site.

    If you’re seeing a login form then the issue is with your whole page, since our login widget is generated along with the whole page.

    I 99% sure with W3TC you can choose to not cache pages to logged in users, you’d need to select that option.

    We’re about to release a major update with new features, this is in the list of future ideas, i.e. refreshing just the fragment via JS depending on login status.

    Thanks Marcus. I already enable the Do not cache for login user. But it does not help. W3TC support indicated their plugin cache the whole page which in my case include the sidebar where the LWA residues. To get around this is to have the login widget or codes run on AJAX. This is what LWA implies. That why I want to give it a try.
    I certainly look forward to your new major release. What is the ETA?

    One more thing Marcus. It would be a great if Google recaptcha is incorporated in the login widget.

    The AJAX stuff is for the login process itself, but this is something we’ll be implementing, along with Google Recaptcha, but forewaring …. these will both be part of a premium add-on, to help fund further development.

    ETA – Any day now I hope! Most likely the following week.
