Overview

About this plugin

DUE TO PERSONAL CIRCUMSTANCES I AM NO LONGER ABLE TO DEVELOP OR SUPPORT THIS PLUGIN.

Bonus also makes Cookie Notice work correctly with WPSC (whether using country/EU geolocation or not).

Org and StackOverflow.

A similar extension is available for Comet Cache.

This plugin builds an extension script that enables Super Cache to create separate snapshots (cache) for each page based on country location.

Separate snapshots can be restricted to specific countries. g. if you are based in the US but customize some content for Canadian or Mexican visitors, you can restrict separate caching to CA & MX visitors; and all other visitors will see the same cached (“US”) content.

g. all European Union countries.

It works on both normal WordPress and Multisite (see FAQ) installations.

Identification of visitor country for caching

com ). 4 or later. It is also possible to connect a different GeoLocation sytem of your choice (see documentation).

If you use Cloudflare and have “switched on” their GeoLocation option ( see Cloudflare’s instructions ) then it will be used to identify visitor country. If not, then the Maxmind Country Database will be used.

Updating (If not using Cloudflare for country) The installed Maxmind Country/IP data file will lose accuracy over time. To automate a monthly update of this file, install and enable the Category Country Aware (CCA) plugin (Country Caching and the Cataegory Country Aware (CCA) plugins use the same Maxmind data file in the same folder and the CCA plugin includes code for its update). The CCA plugin has many other features and functionality you may find useful.

Alternatively you can manually update (FAQ below).

ADVICE

g. Filezilla). Caching plugins can cause “white screen” problems for some users.

WP Super Cache is no different; when I checked the first page of its support forum it included 4 posts like this. Sometimes the only solution is to manually delete files using FTP or OS command line. When deactivated/deleted via Dashboard->Plugins; the Country Caching plugin deletes its files, but in “white screen” situations you may have to resort to “manual” deletion – see FAQ for instructions.
