How to Configure WP-Optimize Settings

Reading time: 2 minutes | Difficulty: Beginner

Overview

Are your payment forms not working correctly for logged out users, or only some of the time, with WP-Optimize active? Follow the steps below to make sure WP Simple Pay works as expected alongside WP-Optimize.

Since WP Simple Pay 4.17.5, payment forms load their data from your site as the page opens, so pages with payment forms can be cached. You only need to exclude your payment confirmation pages, plus WP Simple Pay’s scripts if you use minification.

Prerequisites

• WP Simple Pay 4.17.5 or later. On earlier versions, also exclude your payment form pages.
• The WP-Optimize plugin installed and active

Cache Settings

Exclude Payment Confirmation Pages from Caching

In the WP-Optimize → Cache → Advanced Settings tab, add the paths to your payment confirmation pages. There is no need to include https://yoursiteurl.com.

After updating WP Simple Pay to 4.17.5, purge the WP-Optimize cache once.

JavaScript Settings

Exclude WP Simple Pay JavaScript from Processing

In the WP-Optimize → Minify → JavaScript tab, exclude the following scripts from any processing so your payment forms work as expected.

js.stripe.com/v3/
simpay-public-shared.js
simpay-public-upe.js
accounting.min.js
simpay-public-pro-upe.js
