WP-Cache
Saturdays are Update-Your-Blog Day at Casa Balkan and I've just enabled WP-Cache for the blog after thinking about doing it for, oh, several years now.

Do any of you use WP-Cache?

Just testing that comments do, in fact, cause the cache to update…

… Yep, looks like it’s working!

It’s a great plugin… unfortunately it’s no longer being developed, and a couple of months ago a new spin off version (wp-super-cache) was released that fixes a number of bugs and adds a stack of new features making it faster and more efficient.

Hey Ben, thanks, I’ll check it out!

I’ve looked at it but don’t really get the traffic… What does it do to your stats? Do you have index.php AND index.html??

You’re ranking third on Google for “WP-Cache” at the moment

BTW, I’d caution against using Super Cache if WP-Cache works for you. It’s overkill (unless you’re dugg/dotted frequently), and has a couple of *possible* security flaws — check the WP forums.

Not sure how this post ranks so high in Google but it does, I just enabled WP Cache myself for my site. I’ve had a couple DB issues as a result of not enabling it so I figure it’s time to enable it. My blog is only a week old though, didn’t procrastine for quite as long

Hi Aral,
Sorry to bug you (I know you are a very busy guy), but I was wondering if you could help. When I go in to my WP-Cache Manager it says this …
advanced-cache.php link does not exist
Create it by executing:
ln -s /home/adrianpcom/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-cache/wp-cache-phase1.php /home/adrianpcom/public_html/wp-content/advanced-cache.php
in your server
How do I go about ‘exectuting it in my server’? Is this something I have to do from my Windows Command Prompt. I have a MacBook as well if it makes it any easier for you to explain.
Many thanks,
Adrian

Hi Adrian,
I ran into that also. If you’re on a Linux box (or on your MacBook), open up a terminal window (in OS X, run Terminal.app) and then just paste that text into it and hit return. That should do it
On Windows, I’m assuming a symbolic link would be a shortcut? You could try creating one in Windows Explorer and pointing it to the wp-cache-phase1.php file. (Sorry, I haven’t been doing much on windows since I switched.)
Hope this helps!

Hi Aral,
It’s ok, a friend has told me that I need to use the Terminal window on my Mac to get SSH access. I have contacted my hosting provider to get more info from them.
Cheers,
Adrian
P.S. I’m gonna make time to play more with SWX!!
