Notice that caching plugins store generated pages according to the URL only, they ignore all other request parameters. This is why most of the caching plugins create problems when there are features which depend upon request parameters other than URL. We also faced same problem while developing a video site. Video view count and ratings were not working properly, as plugins which were providing these features were not being executed because of the caching plugin. After trying to modify already available plugins with no success we decided to develop our own caching plugin wpbase-cache<\/a>, which has specific options to solve these problems.<\/p>\n WPBase-cache is specifically developed for varnish and nginx server stack. The plugin itself does not cache full pages, it caches database queries using db-cache-reloaded-fix<\/a> plugin which is integrated in wpbase-cache after some modification. Full page caching is done by varnish and our plugin controls behavior of varnish cache by different methods. Our plugin invalidates varnish cache of a page whenever there is some changes in page content or comments section. For solving the view count problem there is a option which takes view count meta_key which is used to store views of a post\u00a0 in postmeta database table. We also included a specific setting option to take care of ratings and similar problems have a look at example below to understand this.<\/p>\n We tested this plugin for a site using video plus theme by themejunkies and wp-postratings plugin. To find meta_key for view count go to any post page and view its custom-fields where you can find a field name related to “view” word, like shown in screenshot below –<\/p>\n For other setting which solves rating problem open firebug console (or any other browser debugging tool you use), go to network tab and click on rating button. After clicking a xhr request will appear in network tab of debugging tolls console. Not value of “action” parameter and name of another parameter with value as post id. In example below value of action is “postratings” and name of other parameter is “pid” –<\/p>\n Once you have figured out these values final settings of wpbase-cache<\/a> look like this –<\/p>\n![\"viewcount\"](\"https:\/\/www.wpoven.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/viewcount-300x127.jpg\" "\\"\\"")
