    Hi,

    i’m using display posts in several pages in a project together with the caching-plugin w3tc. The problem is: scheduled posts are not visible on pages with display-post-shortcodes until i clear the w3tc-cache manually complete.

    Example of one shortcode:
    [display-posts category=”cat1″ posts_per_page=”50″ image_size=”thumbnail” include_excerpt=”true” excerpt_length=”72″ excerpt_more=”weiterlesen” excerpt_more_link=”true” include_date=”true” date_format=”j. F Y”]

    I have asked the question already on w3tc-support (read for more details):
    https://wordpress.org/support/topic/scheduled-posts-not-visible-at-time/
    but they referred me to your plugin-support to ask if there are any known issues with the caching-mechanism of your plugin?

    The issue is your caching plugin is not aware that the page with the shortcode needs refreshing when a new post is published. W3TC is refreshing the standard WordPress pages that are affected by a new post (blog archive, category archive…), but this does not include your page with the shortcode.

    Display Posts does not interfere or utilize caching mechanisms in any way. It simply allows you to do custom WordPress queries wherever you insert the shortcode.

    I recommend you contact W3 Total Cache support and ask how you can either:
    a) Exclude the page with the shortcode from the cache entirely, or
    b) Clear the cache for that specific page when a new post is published
