Title: Problems with static sites Last modified: May 25, 2026 --- # Problems with static sites * [Gareth Bult](https://wordpress.org/support/users/madpenguin/) * (@madpenguin) * [2 weeks, 1 day ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-static-sites/) * First, I’ve tried submitting this via your support system, the bot response is not helpful. * It would appear that there is an issue with static sites and I suspect this will also be an issue for sites that do heavy caching. It looks like the form embeds a “nonce” in the page which must match an active “nonce” on the server for the form to process. * So when you take a static copy of a page (or I guess cache it) then it’s nonce will be good for 24h. In my case, after this period, the form posting response is “sorry, there was a problem posting your form”. If you then regenerate your static page (or cache entry) thus generating a new “nonce”, you’ll get another 24 hour lease of life. This is a bit nasty as you can develop a site, deploy it, have it look like it’s working, only to find at some point in the future that 24h after deployment, it stoppled processing requests. * My current “hotfix” is to regenerate all my pages every 4h, thus regenerating the “nonce”. Although this seems to work, it’s a lot of processing I don’t want. What I’m essentially looking for is a way to disable the “nonce” function and instead rely on CORS and other protections. * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fproblems-with-static-sites%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 1 replies (of 1 total) * Plugin Support [Ahmed Amir Hossain](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ahmedamir/) * (@ahmedamir) * [1 week, 6 days ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-static-sites/#post-18919668) * Hi [Gareth Bult](https://wordpress.org/support/users/madpenguin/), * Thank you for reaching out, and I sincerely apologize for the frustrating experience, both with the issue itself and with the initial support response that didn’t meet your expectations.
