Really inspiring. So much that I decided to create a plugin that ajaxizes other plugins or wordpress functions for you automatically. Have a look at <a href="http://blog.gingerlime.com/ajaxizing" rel="nofollow">http://blog.gingerlime.com/ajaxizing</a> for more info and hope you can try it out. Cheers Yoav Hi Thaya,

You would also have to turn WP Super Cache in half-on mode right? If not then the htaccess rules will just redirect users to a static file and PHP is never ran. Nice detective work Rafael.

If you set a 'init' hook with priority '1' (for example) at your plugin, it will run perfectly with WP Super Cache as long as you check this Advanced Setting: 'Late init. Display cached files after WordPress has loaded'. Note that this will only make sense if the objective of your plugin is do some background action, and has no intention of writing anything on the page.

I am developing a plugin that basically accounts for some access to the blog. He does not write anything on the page, but could not make it run with the cache plugin (W3 Super Cache). Your excellent idea certainly works, but I would try to make it run before the cache plugin is called. I tried to use 'init' hook with a higher priority without success. Any suggestions or comments?

WP Super Cache just serves one version to your visitor regardless. You might be able to explore and hack the half-on mode of WP Super Cache. In this mode, PHP actually gets ran first until the correct cache file is determined, then it is served as static HTML. I haven't had too much experience with that myself though. Hi Yenny,

I'm working on making it work for the Vote It Up pluging. I've worked on WP for 5 years and never used the functions.php file in a theme that I can recall.

I really don't have time to implement this technique any time soon so I was wondering if Intense Debate worked with WP Super Cache without using your technique. I see youre using Intense Debate so maybe you or someone around here would know Cool.

I totally understand where you're coming from. The optimization capabilities are there, but they cannot be taken advantage of if at least one plugin is not cache compatible! I haven't had good experiences in the past when I've modified another author's plugin to make it cacheable. Here are some scenarios that have happened: 1. The original author won't accept the change and the change is too small to warrant me releasing another plugin. 2. The author accepts the change and I lose credit and traffic. 3. The author accepts the change but doesn't know how the code works so the feature becomes broken on the next release (I have to end up supporting it for no credit or traffic). In all cases, it is a lose-lose for me. I want to make many WordPress plugins cache compatible but I cannot do ti all myself. This is the main reason why I wrote this article. I want to encourage plugin authors to learn how to make their plugins cache compatible themselves. I would suggest that you contact WP-polls plugin author (Lester Chan right?) and request that they make it cache compatible and point them to this article. @Rishi
