Hi Milind,

the problem with query string caching is, that I can’t use it due to my server configuration: That’s why I’ve asked for the change to the /amp/ structure. But as it breaks the layout, I can’t use that either. Do you maybe have any guidance on what I could try to find a possible fix for this?

Thanks,
eC

Hello Milind,

thanks for your answer! I don’t want to use Disqus, but wpDiscuz – can you help me to make this possible and show me a way? Apparently the developers of wpDiscuz can’t do anything about it at the moment.

Many thanks!

Reverted back from PHP 8.1 to 7.4 and it worked.

Hi Marko,

thanks for your answer and I hope you had a great start into the week!

Yes, I’m using CF minify. I have three last questions:

1. Do you maybe have an idea how I can combine the Yoast generated Sitemaps (sitemap_index.xml for domain.com and another one for de.domain.com, pointing to their respective sub files like page-sitemap.xml etc.) to a merged file that dynamically keeps being recent (like includes new pages etc.) for W3TC to use?

2. Also, when I look into cache < page_enhanced it seems like I have two perfectly filled folders for domain.com and de.domain.com – so it seems like it’s working, even when using a relative path like “/sitemap_index.xml” without the domain etc. for Cache Preload.
Does this still cause problems on some other aspects under the hood?

3. When switching from WP-Cron to server-side Cron, and having domain.com and de.domain.com on the same server, in the same folder / WP-installation:
Is it enough to have the Cron fire with calling https://domain.com/wp-cron.php or do I need to set two jobs, another one for https://de.domain.com/wp-cron.php and have both run simultaneously?

Thanks again,
eC

Hi Marko,

thanks for your answer! No, I’m not using the WPML extension: To be honest, I never really understood what it does and didn’t need it for the last couple of years, as everything was working OK. Maybe you can enlighten me about the advantages?

Adding the alias did seem to have fixed the CORS issue in the backend, and an issue I had with WPML is gone now. Wohoo, thanks!! Will keep an eye on this and give an update after test running it for a while.

Do I still need the entry in the .htaccess now?

As I have two sitemaps (one for de.domain.com and one for domain.com created via Yoast), will the Preload still work correctly, when I only point it to https://domain.com/sitemap_index.xml ? Or do I need to find a way to combine those two?

Thanks,
eC

Hi Marko,

and thanks for your quick reply! I am using CloudFlare (Free Plan). I don’t fully understand your question about the zones, could you explain it a little further?

I have domain.com and de.domain.com set up at my hoster and pointed to the same folder on the same server (both having an individual SSL Cert though), but the Nameserver for it is pointing to CloudFlare. At CF I have two CNAME records (one domain.com and one de.domain.com) that point to the same server.

I did modify the .htaccess accordingly, and the problem on the front-end is now gone. But it still shows the issues on the back-end. Any idea how to tackle that?

When W3TC is disabled, I don’t have the issues there. Could it be that some other settings interfere? This is what W3TC puts automatically for mod_headers.c into the .htaccess:

<FilesMatch "\.(css|htc|less|js|js2|js3|js4|CSS|HTC|LESS|JS|JS2|JS3|JS4)$">
    FileETag MTime Size
    <IfModule mod_headers.c>
        Header set Pragma "public"
        Header append Cache-Control "public"
        Header unset Set-Cookie
        Header set X-Powered-By "W3 Total Cache/2.2.4"
    </IfModule>
</FilesMatch>
<FilesMatch "\.(html|htm|rtf|rtx|txt|xsd|xsl|xml|HTML|HTM|RTF|RTX|TXT|XSD|XSL|XML)$">
    FileETag MTime Size
    <IfModule mod_headers.c>
        Header set Pragma "public"
        Header append Cache-Control "public"
        Header set X-Powered-By "W3 Total Cache/2.2.4"
    </IfModule>
</FilesMatch>

    </IfModule>
</FilesMatch>
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
    Header set Referrer-Policy "no-referrer-when-downgrade"
</IfModule>

Also, is using Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*" in terms of security an issue?

Thanks again,

In a recent run wordfence_processattackdata “exited” as well, but it shows green. The plugin defines this as follows: “This job completed without errors. Most likely this process was designed to exit early and not go through the full WordPress process. No errors were detected so this is considered a success.”.

P.S.: Not sure how to interpret this really though. Or would it be better to set one at 9 Minutes and one at 10, so they interfere only once per 1,5h? But that wouldn’t match the requirement for one of the two to have the equal frequency with the Cache Preload interval.

Thanks,
eC
