Cache invalidation issue – static front page

  • Hello Stefano,

    we found another bug. This applies to sites which have Settings –> Reading –> Front page displays set to “A static page”.

    Cache for such page is not cleared when you publish a new blog post. Imagine you have homepage with a featured posts slider and some intro text and then a real blog page on /blog address with a classic list of recent posts.

    Under these conditions, your cache.php sets the front page type “page” instead of “home”. The condition

    if (is_home() || is_front_page()) $data['type'] = 'home';

    Needs to be changed to:

    if (is_home() || is_front_page()) $data['type'] = 'home';

    Then the special front page cache is cleared properly when a new blog post is created.

    This is crucial if the cache time is set to full day (your current default I believe) and it’s set to only clear the post, homepage and archive cache when a post is published/updated.

    Could you please roll out a quick update version, so we don’t have to fix this by hand on a lot of our sites?

    Thanks,
    Martin

  • Hello Martin, thank you very much for your link. I read it and I found it to be very informative. It also helped me with my blogs. I find Hyper Cache to be a very powerful and simple cache plugin.

    I have also posted on Stefano’s website in regards to this support thread. I am sure he will look into this and hopefully add an update soon.

    Kind regards

    Hi, sorry if I never replied on this topic. It’s right, the is_front_page() must be added. But actually I need to check if the page used as static home page returns a “/” permalink or not, otherwise the invalidation should be wrong. A small issue anyway.

    I promise I’ll try to patch the code, it’s a busy period… sorry!

    Stefano.

    Hello Stefano,

    I don’t think you totally have to do a thorough check like that. It’s more important to make sure the home page is labeled as “home” in $data[‘type’]. And if there is one more page labeled like that, it should not be a problem, only its cache will be cleared more often (when new posts are published).

    So you are right, that would be a small issue compared to what gets fixed.

    Thanks,
    Martin
