Wordpress LScache Plugin: esi next to the elementor template shortcode doesnt work
Last Updated on: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:02 Hi, First of all, great plugin I love it. Though I have run into a scenario where I want certain dynamic content to be excluded from caching which is why I turned on ESI, though it seems that it doesnt work for shortcodes for Elementor templates themselves (not inside the template). I have a CountDown Timer Pro plugin for Elementor purchased from FlickDevs though their cookie saving of the current countdown time isnt working. Basically, Im using the Astra theme and have built the header with Astra Header Builder. Since the Countdown plugin isnt a WordPress widget I have created a Section template using Elementor. There Ive added the widget, saved and after copying the shortcode for this Section template pasted it in the HTML2. The template now shows though since its being cached its restarting after every page refresh. So I turned on ESI and added esi at the start of the templates shortcode and ttl= 0 at the end ([esi elementor-template id= 723 ttl= 0 ]). Just by adding esi the template disappears so basically, ESI isnt working for Elementor Templates. Am I doing something wrong? FlickDevs up until now still havent responded to my Support Ticket and after trying to do research myself doesnt look like there is a solution at the moment which makes me believe that this is the reason they still havent responded. I believe that this is a caching issue that conflicts with my countdown timer so I resorted to asking a question here then instead. Thank you in advance for your response!
