Hi @jcollier,
Thank you for the kind words about version 3 and for this report, it’s a good catch.
You’re right, the message shouldn’t be there if WP-Optimize’s page cache is switched off.
I’m already looking into it. The plugin currently detects WP-Optimize by its mere presence, while WP-Optimize is a multi-purpose plugin and its page cache is a separate feature that many people keep disabled. So the fix is to check whether the page caching feature is actually enabled, not just whether the plugin is installed.
It also affects a bit more than the message itself: with the current detection, the “Pages (HTML)” option steps aside for WP-Optimize even when its cache is off. I’ll cover that too and fix it in the next update.
Best regards,
Kostya Tereshchuk
What a fast response! Keep up the great work!
@jcollier Thanks again for the report! It made the plugin better for everyone who uses WP-Optimize just for database cleanup.
The fix is done. Version 3.2.1 will be available to update in about 24 hours. The plugin no longer treats WP-Optimize (or any of the 12 supported caching plugins) as an active page cache unless its page caching is actually switched on. So after updating, the note will disappear on your site, and the “Pages (HTML)” option will work as intended.
