Title: support stopped? Last modified: August 31, 2016 --- # support stopped? * [sajjad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sajjad203/) * (@sajjad203) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/support-stopped/) * Hi, * This is the best caching plugin but seems the author stopped support for it!!! The plugins has problem in wp 4.4 and the author do not update it since 7 month ago! * Are you stopped the support? * If yes, we have to move to wordpress super cache! * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/w3-total-cache/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/w3-total-cache/) Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * [Kimberly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amiga500/) * (@amiga500) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/support-stopped/#post-7048501) * Sadly, it seems the guy abandoned this. He (or someone) tends to come back after many months of nothing to release minor updates (at least in the past) but i gather this was the last update forever. * Thankfully the plugin still works fine and some of us have done forks to add a few features and fix some issues (e.g. make it work with php 7). * For me, i am sticking with this until it really breaks and i no longer feel like coding new patches for it. * I tried super cache. Didn’t like it. Too basic for my needs. Hope the author adds more functionality to it in the future. * Thread Starter [sajjad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sajjad203/) * (@sajjad203) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/support-stopped/#post-7048548) * Kimberly, * I seen that you answered and helped to other users. Thank you * Also you seems beautiful 🙂 * [wpgaijin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpgaijin/) * (@wpgaijin) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/support-stopped/#post-7048552) * See, I’ve had issues with it just not clearing the any of the cache, on multiple sites. I’ve had to stop using all together, because I couldn’t make any modifications to the sites. * It’s real shame, W3 Total Cache was great and the only caching plugin I would use. I’m still looking for an alternative. * [Trendingtop5](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trendingtop5/) * (@trendingtop5) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/support-stopped/#post-7048554) * It minified my JS and adsense codes. And I can’t revert them back. 🙁 * [Marcelo Pedra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kent-brockman/) * (@kent-brockman) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/support-stopped/#post-7048574) * Hello Kimberly, do you have a git repo where you have forked this plugin? Have anybody tried to contact the authors of W3TC? * [deltafactory](https://wordpress.org/support/users/deltafactory/) * (@deltafactory) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/support-stopped/#post-7048585) * Marcelo, * I had tried to contact the plugin author using their contact form, over a year ago. It was regarding a confirmed bug affecting the caching of transients. I had never heard back. * Frederick seems to have moved on to a startup called Placester over a year ago. * In my opinion, it’s almost time to start replacing W3TC with other plugins. I think there are smaller, separate plugins that will do what I need. * [Marcelo Pedra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kent-brockman/) * (@kent-brockman) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/support-stopped/#post-7048587) * [@deltafactory](https://wordpress.org/support/users/deltafactory/) it’s really a pity, since this was the more complete cache solution. Yet I noticed the prime caching process just hang when the amount of pages to be cached is on the thousands. In the other hand, I’ve also found that WP Super Cache tends to slow down the site when the caching process is fully working. * I bet the best options would be 1) that WP Super Cache team fork components from W3TC or 2) that a new team of cool devs take this project and update its features and fix its bugs. * Best regards * [deltafactory](https://wordpress.org/support/users/deltafactory/) * (@deltafactory) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/support-stopped/#post-7048595) * I use WP Super Cache on shared hosting. It’s pretty fast in my experience, but it depends on the cache method and other factors. * W3TC shines when you have access to memcache and CDN services. They also automate a lot of the HTTP cache headers for various content types. * Given the volume of free support people expected from them, I don’t blame them for moving on. * If I ever find a comparable suite of plugins, I’ll publish the results in a new post though that wouldn’t happen for at least another 3 months. * [gerson_stv](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gerson_stv/) * (@gerson_stv) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/support-stopped/#post-7048599) * Hello, if I use super cache, I also can set to don’t cache front page? * Thread Starter [sajjad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sajjad203/) * (@sajjad203) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/support-stopped/#post-7048620) * No Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) The topic ‘support stopped?’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/w3-total-cache/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=1041806) * [W3 Total Cache](https://wordpress.org/plugins/w3-total-cache/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/w3-total-cache/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/w3-total-cache/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/w3-total-cache/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/w3-total-cache/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/w3-total-cache/reviews/) ## Tags * [wp 4.4](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/wp-4-4/) * 10 replies * 7 participants * Last reply from: [sajjad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sajjad203/) * Last activity: [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/support-stopped/#post-7048620) * Status: not resolved
