• I am very disappointed, lost a lot of time building a frontpage for a friend with this Spectra and Astra combo, only to discover that it has some caching issues, it’s like the frontpage is ALWAYS the first version I saved days ago, it just doesn’t update.
    I see one version in the editor, and another one on the frontpage.
    Very sad, lots of time lost because of this, trying to fix it.
    I have turned off ALL cache even at server-level, so

    NO WP_CACHE
    NO REDIS
    NO OPCACHE
    NO MEMCACHE(D)
    ABSOLUTELY NO CACHING ANYWHERE
    And the frontpage still shows a version from quite a while ago, updating has NO effect on it.

    Thank you for your reply.

    I don’t know how else to replicate this scenario, other then what I’ve encountered.
    So try this: edit a new page, add a block or two, specifically a block with a text and image in one of them, then save the page, view it, then go back and edit anything in the page, then save it again. I enlarged the picture compared to the previous size, and modified some text in the box.
    Regardless of what I did later, how many times I updated the post, the frontpage still reflected the 1st version saved.
    I had no cache at server level, no caching plugin, even turned off cache in wp_config.
    I tried so many times, I gave up on it, I deleted the entire block and then redesigned it from scratch, and then it worked.

    Thank you for taking the time to respond, I believe the simplest solution should be always applied, which is … add a piece of code to spectra that makes sure that wp cache is cleared, output buffering, and whatever else cache can be cleared.

    Sorry if I was too harsh in my first comment, I was indeed frustrated and feeling powerless because I had lost a lot of time with it.
