Woocommerce and fastcgi_cache BYPASS

WordPress Nginx
#1

Hi, I have followed the steps in your guide, about Woocommerce and Nginx. I wan’t caching on, but as soon the visitor puts something in the basket, the entire site should not be cached anymore, or else there is alot of trouble with WooCommerce.

I have tryed this code:

if ( $cookie_woocommerce_items_in_cart != “0” ) { set $no_cache 1; }

But when it’s active, the site is never cached, for anyone, and the status is bypassed.

Is there something I can do, or is it impossible to achive, what I want? :slight_smile:

used the bypass snippet from @rahul286

}


include /etc/nginx/common/wpcommon.conf;
include /etc/nginx/common/locations.conf;

}

restarted nginx

nginx -t && service nginx reload

Nginx reloads and gives and ’ ok ’ but now my example.com site will not load, i revised the file back so my working example.com site is now working but still having issues with the woo cart not caching correctly. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced.

Ok so after looking at the file more in depth i forgot to add the following code.

include /var/www/gooeypixel.com/conf/nginx/*.conf;

My example.com site is now connecting, I will continue to test out my cart to make sure the appropriate pages are caching correctly…
