WP Super Cache 0.9.6.1

Written by Donncha on July 29, 2009 – 1:11 pm -

WP Super Cache 0.9.6.1 is now available.

This release adds the following menu item to the admin page.

You can now choose to not cache different types of pages on your blog. Don’t want to cache your front page? That’s easy now. The indented page types are types covered by the top type. “Archives” covers “Tag” and “Category” pages for example.
See the Conditional Tags codex page for a description of the page types, especially “front page” and “home”.

I also fixed a few bugs, including the AYS problem saving posts which was a problem if you had “Don’t cache for logged in users” enabled.

I never got around to blogging about 0.9.6 but that included an uninstall script that deletes the folders and files created by wp-super-cache. Make sure you read the readme.txt before running it. For security reasons you have to edit the script before using it.

I also updated the mod_rewrite rules in cache/.htaccess (Thanks Andrew!) For some reason the web server forgets the mime type it’s supposed to serve gzipped supercache files as. It should be “text/html” in the cache dir but randomly and on the odd occasion it reverts to the gzip mime type. I examined the cache files when this happens and they look correct. Clearing the cache dir fixes the problem temporarily (and file sizes match before and after). I can’t explain it.
Remove cache/.htaccess if you see this happen (you might need to use the uninstall script) and reload the admin page to regenerate the file. The new rules force the mime type in a different way. Hopefully Apache won’t forget it this time.
