Page ID doesn’t change on each page

    I’m only having this issue on my mobile phone and on my ipad (and others are having it on mobile as well). The links work fine on desktop.

    When I click on a link, the URL at the top of the page changes (e.g., goes from /how-it-works to /contact-us) but the page title/content/etc shows the first page that you visited from the website. E.g., if you go to the homepage, every page you go to after that will display the homepage content.

    Furthermore, I am echoing the page id, and the page ID does not change when you switch pages. The page ID stays as the same page you started on.

    I tried the following:
    – Uninstalled all plugins
    – Switched to 2020 theme
    – Updated everything (PHP version, WP to 5.7.2, all plugins)
    – Resetting permalinks in Settings -> Permalinks

    As for changes made before this started happening, my manager says she only went in and made text changes. However, I don’t know how long this has been going on for. I only noticed it today. But I’m pretty sure I’ve gone to the website on mobile many times before and it worked.

    Any suggestions? I could not find anyone with a similar issue on Google.

    Does it do it even if you’re logged in? This smells a LOT like a caching issue. It’s doing it for me on desktop as well.

    Oh how weird, I totally thought it wasn’t doing it on desktop but it IS doing it on desktop for me too. I must have been mistaken! So yes it does appear to do it whether or not I am logged in. It does sound like it is a caching issue but I can’t imagine what would make it happen? A PHP setting? Any ideas? Thanks so much for looking!!

    Update – I’ve added define(‘WP_CACHE’, false); to wp-config.php. And it appears to be fixed on desktop but not on mobile. I cleared my cache and cookies on my mobile phone and am still getting the issue. I am going to try installing a cache plugin and see if that changes anything.

    EDIT: Actually I just realized it’s what you mentioned before, re: being logged in!

    EDIT: I was wrong, it’s broken everywhere now. UGH.

    Hi, I have found that php REQUEST_URI doesn’t change when going to a new page. I installed a brand new fresh version of WP in a new directory and with new DB tables and I have the SAME problem. This would have to be a server issue, right? I called the webhost (godaddy) and he could not figure it out.

    I believe I fixed it! I’m adding my solution in case anyone else has the same issue.

    I added this to my htaccess file to disable caching:

    <IfModule mod_headers.c>
    Header set Cache-Control "no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate"
    Header set Pragma "no-cache"
    Header set Expires 0
</IfModule>

<FilesMatch "\.(css|flv|gif|htm|html|ico|jpe|jpeg|jpg|js|mp3|mp4|png|pdf|swf|txt)$">
    <IfModule mod_expires.c>
        ExpiresActive Off
    </IfModule>
    <IfModule mod_headers.c>
        FileETag None
        Header unset ETag
        Header unset Pragma
        Header unset Cache-Control
        Header unset Last-Modified
        Header set Pragma "no-cache"
        Header set Cache-Control "max-age=0, no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate"
        Header set Expires "Thu, 1 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT"
    </IfModule>
</FilesMatch>
