# Using a WordPress caching plugin? Read this!

 * Sadly at this time, WordPress plugins that use static page caches such as W3 
   Total Cache and WP Super Cache kick in before this plugin has a chance to send
   the special header.
 * You have three options:
 * – Turn your caching plugin off and use this plugin.
    – Turn static page caching
   off and use this plugin. – Don’t use this plugin, continue to use caching, and
   add the header at the server level. There are some guidelines to do that here:

 * I’ll update this post and the plugin if I find [a workaround](https://github.com/nickcernis/GNU-Terry-Pratchett/issues/3)
   for this.

 * It’s now perfectly fine to use this plugin with a WordPress caching plugin.
 * As of version 0.2.0, the plugin adds a meta tag to your HTML and to outgoing 
   wp_mail() email, both of which are visible even when using a caching plugin.
 * If you want HTTP headers to work while using a caching plugin, you’d need to 
   implement them at the server level. Check out your options at: [http://www.gnuterrypratchett.com/](http://www.gnuterrypratchett.com/)
