do not cache posts ever

  • https://safewordcycles.com

    hey guys, i’m using a plugin called

    “eBay Feeds for WordPress”

    it works pretty good, but, the problem is, my website caches the posts, and will not update every time the page is opened, (if ever) which is a pain in the butt. i have verified that ebay’s feed IS changing, but my site will not parse the new info unless i change a parameter in the feed link.

    like for example an item may show $3,000 (4 bids) but when i go to ebay it says $4,500 (15 bids) and it ALSO reflects 4500 15 bids in the FEED that i copy from my post and put into a browser …

    then if i change my link from displaying items=1000, to 1001 in the short code, it will parse and show the correct info….. but then if i change it back to 1000, it shows the old info again!!!!

    I have about 100 feeds showing throughout my site, i would hate to change the feeds every few minutes to show accurate data.

    I have tried every cache plug in listed in the store, most of them are FOR caching, not killing cache.

    I understand that some of the cache issues are typically browser related, but, in my case, i can view it in chrome, I.E. Firefox and have the same result even after clearing browser caches, and then can go to my phone, and a different computer and STILL see the exact same results, even if i have never been to the site on that computer…

    I have also noticed that when i put the feed in the “visual” area of the post box, it shows up ok, then if i go to “text” the feed shows &amp… i’m not sure if that breaks the short code, or if i need to be putting the feed stuff directly into text instead of visual, BUT….. i have tested it, and it makes NO difference for cache. it’s worth mentioning too, whenever i make physical changes to my website, it updates within seconds on my computer, but these feeds don’t.

    VISUAL
    [ebayfeedsforwordpress feed=”https://rest.ebay.com/epn/v1/find/item.rss?keyword=toyota&categoryId1=6016&sortOrder=BestMatch&programid=1&campaignid=5337340421&toolid=10039&customid=toyota&minPrice=2500&listingType1=All&lgeo=1&feedType=rss” items=”1000″]

    [ebayfeedsforwordpress feed=”https://rest.ebay.com/epn/v1/find/item.rss?keyword=toyota&categoryId1=6016&sortOrder=BestMatch&programid=1&campaignid=5337340421&toolid=10039&customid=toyota&minPrice=2500&listingType1=All&lgeo=1&feedType=rss” items=”1000″]

    so, what do i need to do here?

    i’m not a programmer, but, if someone tells me an exact code to place in an exact file, i can do that.

    Please help!!!!!!

    since i know that people will say “check the other plugins you’re using

    here is a complete list of plugins

    akismet not active
    content.ad active
    ebay feeds for wordpress active
    rss post importer not active

    that’s it… nothing else is installed.

    thanks in advance guys.

    I recommend contacting your hosting provider about this. If you are not running any caching plugins, there is likely some server-level caching causing trouble.

    contacted them, they changed the name of a folder and said “that should do it” but i had no way to test it until some time passed. it didn’t fix the issue.

    any idea what direction i could point them aside from changing a folder name? i’m sure it’s level 2 tech support, but, i have to convince them that it is.

    i use hostgator btw.

    Try asking if there is any server-level caching, and if you have any way to control that.

    Also, are you using Cloudflare?

    Thread Starter mitchberry

    (@mitchberry)

    yeah i’m on chat with them right now, and they are looking into “something” but not sure what exactly yet..

    i don’t know what cloudflare is. should i be?

    i don’t know what cloudflare is. should i be?

    Not if you don’t want to. ??

    It’s a popular third-party caching service that could have caused this if not configured properly.

    Passed to L2 tech support, awaiting answer. Still curious about programatic approaches either through htaccess or header manipulation.

    That would depend on what their server-level cache is and how it’s configured. There is no one-size-fits-all approach.

    maybe the plugin has some sort of caching built in?

    but the developer does have this interesting note..

    Hi,

    I can confirm that ebay Feeds for WordPress out of the box doesn’t have any caching. Of course, if you use a feeding software like – say – feedburner to parse the feeds, that could have issues.

    Is it only things using ebay Feeds for WordPress that you’re running into caching trouble with?

    Thread Starter mitchberry

    (@mitchberry)

    Im not using any other feed software however i did have one installed at sone point.. it was someyhing like “rss to post” because i thought about displaying each product in a post until i realized i would have dead pages when auctions ended. But since then, i deleted the plugin and have also reinstalled wp altogether.

    Still stuck on this issue.

    I thi k host gator forgot about me and i cant even find the ticket they supposedly started for me yesterday
