My site often has browser caching issues. Is there a quick fix?

  • I often find users are unable to see their own posts, or can’t see a recent change to their user profile. I also get this behaviour when answering posts in the forum and helpdesk.

    My solution is to force refresh (shift+ctrl+F5). Or, to add ?random to the end of the page url.

    This is quite annoying, and users often have the same issue – this always resolves their issue.

    Is there a simple solution to this problem? It appears browser caching is not working correctly, as it should send the page to the user again after it detects a change in the page.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    You can override browser cache settings for pages in .htaccess
    Already opened pages will not be updated, they should be reloaded/revisited.
    Unless you employ AJAX updates to rewrite page content (This is used by some plugins/themes to update comments only)

    Hi, thanks for your reply.

    My understanding is that will disable browser caching for the whole site. I don’t want to do that, I only want to disable the browser cache on two pages. The pages are dynamically generated HTML.
