[Plugin: WP Super Cache] IE7 is not updating index.php. Working well with firefox and chrome

Anyone there..
please help

Exactly the same here.. I upgraded a site from 2.5 to 2.6 including installing 0.7.1 of supercache, and a week later IE7 was still showing posts from the day it was upgraded. Require some urgent replies here..

Same here. I don’t know what the heck is goin on, but it’s not updating itself. ??

Did this ever get resolved? I sometimes notice the same behavior with Firefox. The index page will always reflect the same September 2008 posts for me instead of the most recent. I have to clear the cached files, and also force a refresh to see the current index.php

Im having the same problem now all of the sudden, but on just one of my blogs.

Has anyone found a fix for this?

Does your wp-content/cache/.htaccess have all the necessary rules? It should look like this. These rules set various expiry times for different files and seem to really affect IE7 users.

# BEGIN supercache
<IfModule mod_mime.c>
AddEncoding gzip .gz
AddType text/html .gz
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.gz$ no-gzip
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
Header set Cache-Control ‘max-age=300, must-revalidate’
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresByType text/html A300
</IfModule>
# END supercache

I’ll check this out.

Thanks for thew info Donncha!

Donncha,

I’m very ‘green’ to this type stuff. My Wp Super Cache rules in my .htaccess are very different than what you have listed above. Is what you have above what I should add to mine?

Here’s what’s in my .htaccess :

# BEGIN WPSuperCache
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !=POST
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.*s=.*
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.*attachment_id=.*
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !^.*(comment_author_|wordpress|wp-postpass_).*$
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Encoding} gzip
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html.gz -f
RewriteRule ^(.*) /wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html.gz [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !=POST
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.*s=.*
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.*attachment_id=.*
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !^.*(comment_author_|wordpress|wp-postpass_).*$
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*) /wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html [L]
</IfModule>

# END WPSuperCache

Different .htaccess file. The one I mentioned above is at wp-content/cache/.htaccess

Ah! Ok. I’ll give this a try.

I’ll come back with the results.

Thanks for your help. ??

I think that did the trick!

The .htaccess in Super Cache had practically nothing in the file.

Now it seems to work fine in all browsers.

If it crops up again I’ll let you know.

Thanks again for your help!

My issue was leftover cache files from wp-cache, prior to installing WP Super Cache. The wp-cache files were in a different, older location. Working great now.
