Large ammount of Cache space after migration to Panda theme

[Derbai]

Hi, I migrate to Panda theme and I found that this use a large amount of cache: more than 110Gb on /cache folder. This crashed my server several time and fulled RAM memory.

I contacted them and suggest to use Server side cache OR Full page cache, No together. For them is this setting causing the issue.

I found this strange as I have used this setting for years with the Default theme with no issue.

 

Do you agree with this settings or Server side and Full page cache should work together? If they should work together where can be the issue with the Panda theme?

 

Thanks, Daniele

DON'T use Full page cache as it is 'broken'.

Use the following settings for caching and no hassle:

You say the large amount of files are in your cache folder, you mean root/cache or root/themes/cache?
If it is in your theme cache folder you can manually go in and delete everything that is older than 2 months.

If you are not using thirty bees 1.6 or later the system did not clear those files automatically. As you can see in my instance there are two new settings for logs and js and css files retention. When you set those up thirty bees will delete files older than this period.

I wonder which TB Version you think to be most stable (No issues or just a few) 
If you don't mind that is 😉

1.6 is the latest official version which offers the latest bugfixes, security fixes and new features.

Running versions prior to the latest on ecommerce sites is like running windows 7 or XP in 2025 - 'it's working' but leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

If 1.6 is not 'stable' for somebody they should consider hunting bugs in their theme and 3rd party modules as the system has never been more stable.

Thanks everybody. I am on TB 1.5.1.

So TB 1.6 have the Full Page cache fixed?

No, full page cache is not fixed on 1.6 but there are those two new functions to keep your site cleaner.
