    In reply to: Cache Plugin

    Yes, suggestions requested. I’ll add to this several month old post in hope that someone will be encouraged to chime in.

    I’m actually playing with WP 2.9.2 rather than 2.8.5 if that makes a difference.

    Further request: I’m interested in speeding up a WordPress site, but I am even more interested in compatibility with themes, plugins, widgets, etc.

    In other words, I prefer compatible, reliable, and trouble-free decent performance improvement rather than ultimate performance improvement that creates compatibility and reliability problems.

    I’ve looked at Super-Cache, W3 Total-Cache, WP-Cache, WEBO, and others.

    So, I want to know which of the caching plugins provides the best overall compatibility.

    Here’s what scares me: Setting up a cache, putting SEF on top of it, having a problem, and having to do something that changes the URL’s and kills search engine ranking.

    It may be that any of the caching plugins can use the same SEF URL’s, so that may not be a problem. Anyone care to comment on that aspect?

    New to WordPress, but not to web development.

    OK. The issue isn’t really resolved, but now I know where it came from. Following is info I have so far and the proper place to go for support if you have this error:

    I downloaded the code from the website and did a text search.

    It turns out that “ERROR: 7 UNKNOWN” is an error generated by Super-Cache.

    The site was working, then it stopped, so it is a mystery as to why at the moment.

    Here’s the website for Super-Cache:

    Here’s the SUPPORT FORUM:
    http://wordpress.org/tags/wp-super-cache

    I’m going there to continue working on this issue…

    Please correct me if I am wrong about this. (And, if you know this to be correct, you could mention it, as well.)

    I just set-up the super cache and it is working on Linux, but I made some guesses.

    mod_mime and mod_rewrite are Apache modules that must be enabled via Apache – which means your web host unless you have root access to a dedicated server or VPS.

    I’m guessing that “Fancy Permalinks” are what the WP documentation refers to as “Pretty Permalinks” If I guesses wrong about this, then the following is of no use.

    In the Word Press admin control panel go to options, permalinks.

    There are four options.

    The default gives plain old ugly permalinks.

    The second (date and time) and third one (numeric) require mod_rewrite and are what the wh super-cache instructions refer to as “fancy permalinks”

    The last option (custom) will use the internal WP permalink feature if you have “index.php?” at the beginning to the link specification. If you don’t, it will use mod_rewrite.
