# WF Basic or Falcon cache blocks logging

 * It appears that we cannot use WF caching either Basic or Falcon. Big disappointment.
   When either is turned on I do not get updated activity logs, logs are severely
   reduced. Cannot turn on Live Traffic when in performance mode but still should
   see “aged” traffic yes? Filter for Human Traffic returns blank results as discussed
   on other posting. Without logging I cannot verify protection. Is there protection
   without logging?
 * Disabled the one plugin I think might cause interference, WP-SpamShield, which
   would be an unfortunate loss if could not use it. But no difference. Cleared 
   WF live table and blocks with WF Assistant between each caching/plugin test to
   more easily see results.
 * Until resolved fear to use WF caching. Cannot work through +/- plugins testing
   yet as that requires wee hours (unless an emergency which this is not – yet –
   will put off caching).
 * When either caching is On, there is a quick-flash message:
 * > An unknown location at IP
   >  IP: [unblock] [unblock this range] [block] Invalid
   > Date Invalid Date (NaN seconds ago) hits in unknown location at IP arrived 
   > from and left and tried to access non-existent page visited was at logged in
   > successfully as “”. logged out successfully. requested a password reset. attempted
   > a failed login as “”. attempted a failed login using an invalid username “”.
   > changed their password. Invalid Date Invalid Date (NaN seconds ago) IP: [unblock][
   > unblock this range] [block] Browser:
 * If anyone has insight, please share?
    Thank you!

 * For what it’s worth, I’ve found both types of Wordfence caching to be quite problematic
   and ended up, much to my dismay, having to install yet another plugin to cache
   my most important site. I used WP Super Cache. Seems to work quite well though
   the documentation is nothing less than arcane. MTN

 * Hi,
    Yes, using “Basic caching” or “Falcon Engine” will disable the “Activity
   Log” but you still can see “Login and firewall activity”, don’t worry the Firewall
   protection will be running as long as you see “Enabled and Protecting” under (
   Wordfence > Firewall => Firewall Status) and of course make sure you have “Protection
   Level: Extended Protection” there.
 * I’m not sure where exactly you get this quick flash message?
 * Also, please make sure to check these possible reasons for not logging human 
   visits [in this reply here](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/filter-traffic-human?replies=6#post-8730180).
 * Thanks.

 * The flash message above happens when loading or reloading “Live Traffic” (with
   real time off or on).
