    I am having a caching problem. I have 3 sites: 2 use Executive Pro and the third uses a theme I cloned from the demo. On occasion after logging in and out of my E.P. sites and subsequently visiting the front end of these the menus and slider are not displayed properly. I have attached pictures from one of my sites when it was broken and when it was OK. I can fix the problem by going back into my site backend and purging the cache. Sometimes I have to purge more than once. My routine now is to always purge caches before logging out of the backend but I always check the front end after to make sure everything is displaying properly. Anybody else see this? Any suggestions on how to prevent? Tnx to all. The image is small-bad-cache-picture.jpg in my root directory.

    Are you using W3TC minification?

    Yes and that makes some sense as what seems to be getting trashed is CSS stuff. I will turn it off and see what happens. Thanks...

    That'll be it, you can tune the W3TC minification to exclude whatever CSS / script it is puking on so you can get most of the benefits of minification.

    However, generally it'll come back and bite you some time later when the child or framework update. Best just to leave minification off.

    You can also try https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize/ plugin which tends to minify more intelligently (use W3TC for everything else).
