Caching does not seem to work properly on safari?

[ssuess]

Hi I have searched the docs and discussions and haven't found mention of this. My newly setup cache enabled wordpress site does not properly deal with comment postings on Safari web browsers (mobile or desktop), but DOES deal with them properly on FF and Chrome.

• If a known or unknown user posts a comment using a FF or Chrome browser, comments work as expected
• if a known or unknown user posts a comment using Safari (desktop or mobile) their comment will not show up for them, it seems to disappear. The page does not have its cache cleared for safari users the same way it does for others, and they will only be able to see their comment (which did in fact post to the backend at least) once there has been a full purge cache initiated from the wordpress admin.

I just updated to 4.4.0 from 4.3.1, and it seems to have fixed it? I will watch this for a couple of days and come back here to close if there are no issues. Thanks.

[ssuess]

I spoke too soon the problem is still happening. Comment posting and caching is not working properly. Any suggestions?

[ssuess]

Well for now I followed the instructions here to disable redis for this site. Awaiting a response to decide what I should do next, if this is a bug or just a misconfiguration.

[ssuess]

Any advice at all on what to do here? Do post comments in a safari browser (or mobile safari) on a redis cached site work for everyone else?

[ssuess]

Nothing at all? Am I the only one having this problem? Has no one else had any problems with ee redis caching of comments? No one? Any guidance at all here would be very appreciated. Thanks.

Hey @ssuess, we have not faced such an issue as of now.

[ssuess]

ok I will try to rebuild the site from scratch I guess and see if that makes any difference.

[ssuess]

Do you have a recommended redis plugin or plugins that I should be using? Do they matter at all?

[dhsathiya]

It is important that you use rtCamp's Nginx-Helper plugin. Which will be there by default if you use --cache flag.

[ssuess]

And that is the only needed plugin? It seemed to also install a redis plugin, no?

[joebailey26]

Yes, this plugin is also installed:
