Fixed. I just uploaded the wrong plugin to the updates hub. Tired from long day…misclick. Its all good now.
Don’t give up! This is very important. 😛
I found this for you guys, and I’ll update the tutorial:
IP addresses for PayPal servers
https://ppmts.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/92On a practical level, free images are of good SEO value if you make the large size directly accessible. Sometimes someone will say “Great image! Is there more in the series?” then they shop to make their collection complete.
Don’t worry about it guys. We got a winning logo already 😀 will have it out in a few days. What is my prize? 😉
No worries (as they say on the islands) these are just ideas.
Right now I’m working on the logo myself, so it might be that simple 🙂

I’m done … everything was set up within half an hour, or even less … Wonderfull step by step tutorial 😀 Thanks again!
There is one minor point you might want to change. It’s necessary to install Bad Behaviour before you can set the checkbox in the plugin-tab of wp supercache … but I could handle that 😆
I already receive Emails about the ongoing caching-process … I love it 🙂
What I haven’t done yet is installing Aksimet and Sweet Capture … Is it necessary or can I pass that?
I’d put them in just in case. I’m pretty sure Bad Behavior uses some of Aksimet’s data anyway…but I keep them both up to avoid comment spam and such.
No prob. This is one of those things that take a bit of practice, but its a very important factor. Introducing it too early ( I feared ) might intimdate people or introduce them to too many compexities.
Thats an interesting direction to take. It reminds me of the ubuntu logo:
Such an idea underscores the open source aspect of it too.

Is there no way to exclude the cart and download area from caching? Sorry when asking stupid questions, but I still don’t understand whether the cases you described will be the normal user experience when Supercache is activated or only rare exceptions.
That is the case when you do not alter things.
In the tutorial for instance it shows you how to remove the customer checkout/cart page from caching so it functions as it should.
The item selection will not visually stick when they leave a product page and then come back. So basically when they choose an item, it will show yellow. But when they come back, the item will not longer show yellow (they will see it in their cart area though)
Here is the part of the page that explains ti (except without the image)
This is also quite important. If you cache the customer page, they may not see what they currently have in their cart. Or even more confusing, they might see someone else’s cart!
To put it simply, above the first text-box you see this statement:
“Add here strings (not a filename) that forces a page not to be cached. For example, if your URLs include year and you dont want to cache last year posts, it’s enough to specify the year, i.e. ’/2004/’. WP-Cache will search if that string is part of the URI and if so, it will not cache that page.”
Simply put all the pages that must not be cached in this box. Perhaps you have other pages other than the customer page that you do not want to cache. Be sure to include these.
Now simply push:
“Save Strings”

Thanks a lot, Leo. This is very usefull!
I dont really understand Number 2: ” Customers may not see events that reflect their activity (carts, available downloads) and thus become irritated and leave.”
Does it mean a customer can’t see the chosen image and size before he clicks the pay now button?Some examples:
Customer adds item to cart. Sees yellow area depicting size in cart.
Customer wanders site, comes back to original image.
Customer no longer sees yellow area (because its a cached page, not dynamic)
Customer gets confused.Another example:
Customer adds a bunch of things to his/her cart.
Goes to checkout page, sees nothing (because they are seeing cached page)…gets angry and leaves.One more:
Customer goes through checkout, lands on page after sale, never sees items arrive.
So although these caching and spam control systems are a wonderful thing, I’ve avoided introducing them knowing that the percieved trouble would normally be from the Symbiostock theme…usually I have to solve these problems caused by people just to avoid bad publicity. This tutorial should help immensely, and keep people aware of how to set up properly so everyone can benefit.

When I said something about it last year I talked about my associations … it was never ment as an accusations toward this project or you, Leo. I hope you didn’t understand my words that way.
No not at all! I don’t even recall your words. Your one of those wonderful and objective people that bring so much to this.
A few times its been remarked that it looks like a Nazi symbol, and it never bothered me too much. However since Cathy had so aggressively attacked this whole project I decided it might be good to rearrange things so vindictive people do not have fuel to start their fires. I’m rather glad her attack happened sooner than later — better to refine things while its still small.

Very happy to see a positive response. The tutorials will be out tonight! Thanks a lot guys. Its quite refreshing to see a happy response on something like this.
