Subash Chandra Poudel	Hi there, The issue was replicable in the new staging site because the server I created the staging site also had a server layer caching. I modified our server caching and disabled caching for the cookie wcml_client_currency as I advised in my reply in https://wpml.org/forums/topic/multicurrency-feature-conflict-with-w3tc-caching-plugin/#post-13105631 As you can see in the following screen recording, it works fine for me in the staging site as well. hidden link So if there is an issue in your site even after adding the code and excluding the cookie as I explained in the reply linked next it should be due to your server caches or due to your browser issues. Regards. Subash

Jerzy Afanasjew	The option that you recommend in w3tc settings has a disclaimer saying "Never cache pages that use the specified cookies.". As far as I understand this would mean disabling caching on all of my pages. How can you recommend this as a solution for an ecommerce site? I have disabled the cookie in the Cache Groups w3tc settings, before I did that even going to specific product page would not update currency correctly per geolocation. I have server side caching disabled. The issue persists. Please advise. Disabling caching all pages is not a solution.

Subash Chandra Poudel	Hi there, Thank you for your reply. It is actually expected that when a page is cached with plugin that is not fully compatible with WCML the Multi currency features might not always work unless you don't cache the pages using WCML related cookies. More details on WCML and WPML compatible caching plugins at: https://wpml.org/plugin-functionality/caching/ However after your reply I looked into the issue further and setup three different Cookie Cache Groups in W3 Total Cache plugin as shown in the screenshot attached. I also removed he page cache cookie exception that I added before and it seems to work fine now. Note the code in my previous reply linked next to store WCML data as cookies instead of WC session is still required. https://wpml.org/forums/topic/multicurrency-feature-conflict-with-w3tc-caching-plugin/#post-13105631 Can you please check the staging site hidden link again and verify if the caching setup is working fine with WCML multi currency now or not? Regards, Subash

Jerzy Afanasjew	Unfortunately the issue persists, please see the screenshot attached. I am browsing from USA yet instead of USD I see PLN currency.

Subash Chandra Poudel	Hi there, In the site hidden link when I edit the Homepage , I can see that the Likst below "POPULAR" heading is static texts so it is expected that it always shows the fixed/static text. Please check with dynamic Products widgets or Products instead. I checked the Shop page hidden link and Product URLs like hidden link and they seem to work fine. Regards, Subash

Jerzy Afanasjew	You are correct. The issue is with my theme. I am moving on to my theme's support. I will update when they find a solution, for future reference.
