Prevent saving WooCommerce taxonomies purging page cache

Replies: 0

We notice that whenever we update a WooCommerce taxonomy (aka categories, though we have several taxonomies other than categories that we use for products) it purges the entire page cache. We are caching those taxonomies. In Purge Policy: Page Cache we have nothing checked except rss2, and the default sitemap regexp.

We want to never purge the taxonomy page caches we create. We have a manual routine for doing that.

Is there something else we should check or uncheck to keep from purging the page cache when saving a Woo taxonomy/category?

Should we tell W3TC to never cache those pages, since we’re doing our caching manually anyway? Would that prevent it from clearing them? I notice when we update a Woo product it does not clear the cache. We don’t cache Woo products.
