my css files aren't updating/taking forever to. cacheing/server issue.

    So I feel i’ve tried everything from clearing the browsers cache to adding the version to the wp_enqueue (which broke the page completely) to rolling back to an earlier wordpress 3.6. Everything worked fine when i originally build the site, I could modify the .css and it would update immediately. Im assuming I have to add something my .htaccess file to clear the cache more frequently? But from what i’ve read/tried it still isn’t responding.

    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Thanks

    Brent

    So even if you add an obvious style like:

    body {
 border: 10px solid red !important;
}

    It doesn’t appear on your site? It’s not a CSS specificity issue but a caching issue?

    Do you have a caching plugin? Have you asked your host?

    yeah i’ve added a green border around our head shots last week just to see if it was a linking issue, haha and not its not coming off! and yet the css file shows is saved with no border! https://www.versatilemediagroup.com/spanish. yes i’ve checked with go daddy and they said there isn’t on their side that would be doing this. And I dont have any cache plugins installed.

    You might want to try deactivating all plugins and switching to a default theme to see if that makes a difference.

    FWIW, there are LOTS of threads on these forums with similar issues on GoDaddy :(.

    I figured it out! Finally! Go daddy has this stupid little thing called “developer mode” under the “web accelerator” tool that needs to be turned on. It keeps your site from caching for 24 hours. Im surprised the godaddy support guys didn’t think of this one..

    LOL – good going on your part (not theirs :)!)

    Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!

    I’ve been trying to figure why I couldn’t update my css or my .htaccess file for at least an hour now and this is exactly my issue.
