Plugin Breaks WP Theme

[naplesdave]

I am using the Flexibility 2 theme from http://www.flexibilitytheme.com/ and when using the Quick Cache plugin the plugin breaks the theme after a few hours of use.

My settings are the default, except I am caching pages for a week as they are rarely update but highly trafficked.

Would appreciate any help, or, just wanted to let others know it doesn't work with all themes.

Kind regards,
Dave Jackson

Hi Dave. Thanks for reporting.

Can you please elaborate on this a bit. How does it break? What happens?

[naplesdave]

Hi Jason,

I can't reproduce it now... the them simply went away and you'd see bare bones. Turning off and on the plugin fixed it. Maybe it's just caching an error in something else.

Thanks for the response.

Hi Jason,

I had to turn it off again today. Strange. I went through my list of plugins and left it till last and when I turned it off I got my template back.

Do you know where I should start looking?

Even with the template skewed, the plugin was caching, so it's working... just does something when left on for a few days with the Flexibility2 template.

Thanks for any help,
Dave

P.S. No, I think we're too far south to see any oil, which is good.

I just pulled this from the source code on your site:

Code: Select all

A Quick Cache file was just served for (  latinunit.net/ ) in 0.00462 seconds


Looks good! If you want more speed than that, you'll need to check the response time from your server. It does appear that your server is a bit slow. If your server is slow to respond, then it makes no difference how fast Quick Cache is. You may want to check with your hosting provider on Apache response times. Either that, or move over to another hosting provider. I recommend MediaTemple (gs).

Hi Dave. It sounds like your theme is returning an empty page at certain times, or under certain circumstances. For instance, if a PHP syntax error occurs in your theme every once in awhile, it could result in an empty page, that ends up in the cache. This would not happen very often, only at certain times, randomly even.

I'd turn PHP error logging on, and monitor your log files for PHP errors. See if you can figure out where and when your theme is returning a blank page. Place these lines in your wp-config.php file.

Code: Select all

@ini_set('log_errors','On');
@ini_set('display_errors','Off');
@ini_set('error_log','/home/example.com/logs/php_error.log');


Don't forget to change /home/example.com/logs/
to a location where you want your log files stored.
