    Hello, I have been using a cache plugin (W3 Total Cache). However, my complete page cache keeps getting cleared / purged all the time.

    After investigating the logs, I noticed that the ‘culprit’ is the SO widgets bundle. More specifically in compat.php there are several functions that call for a post cache ( w3tc_flush_post ) or a full cache purge ( w3tc_flush_all )

    Can I prevent this cache purge by the SO Widgets bundle ?

    Hi, thanks for getting in touch.

    The Widgets Bundle compatibility code (in compat.php) is designed to notify caching plugins—like W3 Total Cache, Swift Performance, Hummingbird, Breeze, LiteSpeed, and WP Rocket—that a widget’s stylesheet has been added, deleted, or cleared. This ensures that if any widget-related style changes occur, your visitors aren’t served an outdated (cached) version of your site. In other words, when widget styles change, the cache is purged so the new styles appear immediately.

    The following filter can be added to a plugin like Code Snippets, a custom functions plugin or perhaps a child theme functions file to stop the cache being cleared on Widgets Bundle CSS delete, clear or add.

    add_filter( 'siteorigin_widgets_load_cache_compatibility', '__return_false' );
