In reply to: [W3 Total Cache] .htaccess issuesYour text being pushed to the left and jumbled up, is likely related to minify. Try disabling it and seeing if that fixed the problem, then figure out if it’s css, js, or html.
On the front page on the far right side column you’ll find a compatibility tool matching wordpress version with plug-in version, and it shows the number of people who found each combination functioning and broken. That’s about as good an indicator as any. I’d personally stick to 0.9.2.4 or 0.9.2.5 until the issues with the latest versions have been corrected. 0.9.2.5 was released in December I believe, when most users began having widespread issues. Before that I used 0.9.2.4 with no problems.
You can find older versions of the plugin under the Developers section on the front page. I downgraded myself to 0.9.2.5 and will be sticking with it until it seems all issues have been resolved.

In reply to: [W3 Total Cache] Do You Test Before Releasing an Update?Ah, I initially had issues with 0.9.2.5, and I believe he went in and fixed something in the update (reintroduced it under the same version number). I saw somewhere in a thread where he mentioned the problem had been fixed and people could re-download it. Perhaps you got it after the initial problem. However since then, the compatibility ratio for each version hasn’t looked good. Looks like there are only 6 people saying 0.9.2.6 worked, and 59 who say it’s broken (with 3.5.1). I myself haven’t tried it, or 0.9.2.5 again.

In reply to: [W3 Total Cache] Do You Test Before Releasing an Update?Personally, I use the compatibility check on the front page as a guide before upgrading. I will say, I used version 0.9.2.4 for months without any issue, and because I’d not seen an update for some time went ahead and updated to 0.9.2.5 without checking here for known issues first. Turned out to be a mistake.
I can’t say whether he’s updating or not, but I’d imagine it’s difficult to test something for every member’s use of the plugin. I certainly hope he’s not releasing without testing, one would think he’d have to test that particular feature he’s set out to fix before calling it an update anyway.
Either way, I won’t be updating again until it appears most of these issues have been fixed, but I realize often times it takes people downloading and using the plugins themselves to make some of these issues known. I just won’t be the guinea pig.
Somehow or another the new versions have been working for a select few.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [W3 Total Cache] Do You Test Before Releasing an Update?Downgrade to version 0.9.2.4 and that should resolve your issues for now. I’ve been using this plugin for about 2 or 3 years, first problems started with 0.9.2.5. It gets “rave reviews” because it’s been working for people for years.
Read through the support forums and you’ll find solutions for your problems, threads like this one won’t likely help, or simply move on. This is a free plugin after all, any sense of entitlement one would think has no place here.
