Woocommerce – shop list pages not updated when changes made.

  • It looks like the cache is not updated when changes are made in WooCommerce products.

    e.g. when products are added to categories, the pages that show the listings in those categories do not get updated or flushed from cache.
    note the product item’s page can get updated, but the categories listings pages. that the product items get listed on, does not (always?) get updated.

    The work around is to force a cache empty, but then everything has to get re-cached.

    The category listing pages only need to be re-cached for the pages that the change happens on (which includes all the listing pages after that).

    Is there a way to make this happen properly?
    or
    Is this a feature request?

    Hi,

    Thanks for replying so soon.
    This is a good sign of innovation.

    A thought, in addition to above.
    Is there any interest in making use of some PHP modules that can be used to speed up wordpress performance?
    Noting that PHP 7 and above, use different systems to previous versions, and that they can make use of memory as cache, and have caching system that work on the server (possibly a benefit, if wordpress crashes, or hangs e.g. plugin updates in limbo).
    These modules might be able to be set from within WordPress, so could be optional extras, or alternatives.

    Thanks

    when a customer adds an item into the basket, the cache is ignored for the customer.

    Hi sleazelouise (@sleazelouise) & Emre Vona (@emrevona)

    Re :

    I then enabled clear cache when post is updated/published and lo and behold, it shows up.

    These two settings (for update, and publish) are very useful settings.

    The plugin is well supplied with help, through the “circled ‘i’ ” icons to the right of each setting. This places help very conveniently close at hand,

    Suggestion 1)
    This icon is not beside the “Publish” option, which it could easily be there too – or the two update/publish settings placed within a border rectangle so the user will know they are related to each other).

    Suggestion 2)
    The help through these icons is well presented, and is directly sourced from the author’s website. This takes a short while to download. This is not much, but it does tend to deter the user from investigating the possibilities of further optimisation, because they are less interested in what not not immediately apparent.
    So to improve the speed at which the user is “lead to appreciate” the fuller functionality of the plugin, it would be handy to be able to hover over these icons, and instantaneously be shown a popup text box, that includes a (quick if possible) explanation of the respective setting, what it is good for, and what the default/initial setting was.
    This might be done with a second similar icon of different colour, so the user can choose between the popup onsite text box, or the offsite page with pictorial explanations.
