In reply to: [W3 Total Cache] New Admin bar destroys my layout when using W3 Total CacheNo, I don’t, but I just tried reactivating the admin bar and it seems to be working fine now.
There were a number of WP and W3TC updates since my original post 4 months ago, so it’s impossible to say exactly what made the problem disappear.

Luckily, this was my test install, not a live one.

In reply to: [WP Minify] [Plugin: WP Minify] CHMOD 777 a security risk?Samuel B,
WordPress was created for writers/bloggers. It makes little sense to me to expect the typical WordPress user to be able to tell if his host’s server is secure enough to compensate for an unsecure plugin.
And what if someone’s server is not secure enough? Will the user be able to convince his host to upgrade server security in order for him to be able to use chmod 777 safely? With my current host, this kind of request would quickly take the form of a earful of bad language against WordPress (I’m switching to more WordPress-friendly host next week, by the way).
It seems to me that expecting too much from both users and hosts can only mean negative consequences for WordPress.
Spelling out in the plugin instructions what is required to make the plugin safe would be a minimum, woudln’t it?
I’m not a programmer, just a user that got some strong warnings about chmod 666 and 777 drilled into him and is now very puzzled.

In reply to: [Broken Link Checker] [Plugin: Broken Link Checker] Server loadAnyone can give me their opinion on this :
is my host in his right to blame me when his log file crashed the server because it got too big?
It’s far from clear that the errors were due to something wrong with the plugin vs a server-side config file requesting for a filter that wasn’t activated.
My point is : isn’t it my host’s responsibility to manage his log files so that they don’t crash the server by becoming too big for whatever reason?
Since log files are meant to faciliate troubleshooting, isn’t absurd that they crash a server at all?
I’m seriously considering changing to another host.
OK,
I found out this is due to some javascript in the widget : my host is cracking down on java being injected in a form, notwithstanding the fact that the form in question is WP’s admin interface.
I’m thinking I should look for a host that has more experience hosting WordPress and other CMS.

In reply to: WordPress causing host server to crashI found the culprit :
it was a recently installed plugin making all these requests.

In reply to: [Broken Link Checker] [Plugin: Broken Link Checker] Server loadThanks whiteshadow.
My host’s server crashed because a log file got overfilled with POST PAYLOAD related errors orginating from requests by you plugin.
It’s not the server load that caused the problem, but Broken Link Checker was indeed making requests every second or two, which caused the log file to inflate rapidly since the server setup was such that each request generated an error.
Switching to hourly check seems to have solved the problem on my side and my host changed some things on his side too, so I think we got things under control now.

In reply to: [W3 Total Cache] [Plugin: W3 Total Cache] My CSS and JS files not gzippedYes, I have mod gzip. WP plugins have a hard time detecting those mods on my server, for some reason.
WP Super Cache gzips my home page fine. As for default.css, I realized later that WP Super Cache doesn’t gzip it either. And reset.css is so tiny it hardly matters.
Not having my home page gzipped is all that prevents me from making the switch to W3 Total Cache on my other websites. It gives me great results on every other level.

In reply to: [W3 Total Cache] [Plugin: W3 Total Cache] My CSS and JS files not gzippedHi,
after some tweaking, everything is minified succesfully and I don’t have any more problems with my JS files
I still have some text files that are not getting gzipped.
They are :

http://www.sceptique.ca/wp2/wp-content/themes/frugal_36/lib/css/default.cssWhy would those 3 files not get gzipped?

http://www.sceptique.caThanks webjunk,
there might be temporarily something wrong with Webmaster Tools.
Is there any point at all in registering my sitemap there as long as the plugin is updating it regularly? It’s a question I’ve been asking myself.
Same with me.
In Google Webmaster Tools, I have a red X under status for my sitemaps:
