In reply to: [W3 Total Cache] Is W3 Total Cache Dead?@victor, this may be incompatible with your goals but I had intended to seek out individual plugins that accomplished each of the optimization tasks that W3TC provided.
For example, Batcache would take care of page caching in memcache and hopefully Cache API calls. Another (or perhaps a custom refactor based on W3TC) would let me map out URLs to a pull CDN.
I hadn’t found a replacement for browser caching including .htaccess mods, header enhancements, and dynamic query strings but someone must have done it.
In the end I’d love to split up W3TC in modules that can be enabled as necessary. There are entire sections (minification) which I don’t care about and only result in extra code.

In reply to: [W3 Total Cache] support stopped?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.

In reply to: [W3 Total Cache] support stopped?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.

In reply to: [W3 Total Cache] Terrible Technical SupportI reached out months ago with some bug reports and never received a response. That said, I haven’t paid for any of the features that W3TC has provided.
It’s not right to ignore request from paying customers. I would attribute this to fatigue over the volume of support requests and which I wouldn’t wish upon anyone.

In reply to: [Listo] Default ValuesI think that it works if you put the value last.
‘[select FieldName data:countries “United States”]’
I hadn’t actually tested my example before posting. :*)

In reply to: [Listo] Default ValuesI don’t know if there’s a better way to resolve this, but you could make the default option a “static” value while leaving the Listo list in its default order.
For example: [select FieldName “United States” data:countries]

In reply to: [Analyticator] Comments on 6.4.9.4I would also like to raise the concern that many of us are developers who recommend your plugins to our professional clients after consistent positive experiences. Suddenly following an update, an *ad* is displayed in the _administrative area_ of the site. This isn’t the way to build trust and potentially reflects badly on the person who integrated it.
I understand the need to promote yourself and make money, but there are more tasteful ways to do it.
Nothing that I’ve seen. I reached out to Frederick via the w3-edge contact form twice.
I’d at least like to know if this was being worked on for a future release or if development has stopped in favor of more profitable ventures.

In reply to: [Postie] Optional silence for mail checking cronI think this would do it:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.trigger-error.php@archon810, thanks for your work on this.
I’m curious if anyone has tested the “more complete” fixes, or just the
get()patch?I look forward to seeing this included in a proper W3TC release.
