I just got a generic response that implied “many settings needed to be tweaked”. The irony is that all my previous settings were blown away when I upgraded to the latest version. Lesson learned is to use the “download settings” option before upgrading. * I also thought there was some relationship between the Maximum Lifetime and the problems I was seeing. But I wasn’t so sure after I started seeing purge issues last up to 20 minutes or longer. * As far as your question about setting the Maximum Lifetime to a lower amount, I can only guess that you can experiment with it. And as long as you aren’t hosting a high-performance site it shouldn’t affect page load times. * I’m still mystified as to what some of these settings do and how the different settings affect each other. * On a final note, I had another forum posting asking about how to test these settings without creating false blog posts. I never got an answer on that post either. These seem like fundamental issues that some with significant WordPress admin experience could answer. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[W3 Total Cache] Purge takes 6 minutes after posting](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/purge-takes-6-minutes-after-posting/) * Thread Starter [ag2001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ag2001/) * (@ag2001) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/purge-takes-6-minutes-after-posting/#post-3653164) * I actually have no clue what the fix is for this. I ended up opening a paid support ticket with W3 and they got the problem fixed in 3 business days. * It begs the question: are the W3TC policies too complex for a developer (or non- developer WordPress user) to tweak? I can’t believe it is, but I certainly didn’t have an extensive amount of time to research where to even start, or understand the effects of all the different settings and how they relate to each other. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[W3 Total Cache] Purge takes 6 minutes after posting](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/purge-takes-6-minutes-after-posting/) * Thread Starter [ag2001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ag2001/) * (@ag2001) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/purge-takes-6-minutes-after-posting/#post-3653077) * Now the purge policy seems to have totally failed. New posting not visible after 20 minutes and home page still shows HTTP 304 Not Modified. * Sounds like a bug??? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [W3 Total Cache Purge Policy not working](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/w3-total-cache-purge-policy-not-working/) * Thread Starter [ag2001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ag2001/) * (@ag2001) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/w3-total-cache-purge-policy-not-working/#post-3643841) * Thanks. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Can't login to Gravatar using WP login](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-login-to-gravatar-using-wp-login/) * Thread Starter [ag2001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ag2001/) * (@ag2001) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-login-to-gravatar-using-wp-login/#post-1853093) * Okay, thanks. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Paginating with Corporate Gray v1 theme](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paginating-with-corporate-gray-v1-theme/) * Thread Starter [ag2001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ag2001/) * (@ag2001) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/paginating-with-corporate-gray-v1-theme/#post-1853077) * Sweet, that fixed it, it said 10 posts. Thanks so much, I didn’t even think to look there! Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total)
