Posts changes only show when hard refresh (CTRL F5)

  • Hi,

    When i make a change to a post or create a new post it only shows when i hard refresh wp admin.
    Also when i try to delete a plugin i need to hard refresh to see that the plugin was deleted.

    I tried to delete the cache plugins and clear cache but it still doesnt work?

    The symptoms appear to be the case of browser based caching. Could be an ill configured caching plugin might have been caused this, and even after the caching plugins are deleted, your browser might be fetching the data from the cache instead.

    Also there’s a possibility that caching is set and configured on web server level, in which case, you’ll need to check out which web server you’re using and how to configure its caching.

    Can you tell us which plugin you used for caching and which web server you’re using?

    Hi Gagan, thanks for your answer.

    I am using the plugin WP-FFPC for memory caching.
    I am using a nginx webserver.

    Hi, I’m having this exact same problem.
    Using apache webserver + wp super cache.
    The problem is occurring in more than a website at the moment, so I guess it’s a new WP version fault?

    Just chiming in here with this as well. Would love to get to the bottom of it, I have exactly the same problem.

    Have ruled out;
    1. Theme
    2. Plugins
    3. Server (changed server to another Nginx instance on a Digital Ocean droplet). No server caching, no varnish, no opcode caching, memcached etc.
    4. Server OS, tried on Ubuntu and CentOS
    5. Server ISP – different on the different servers I’ve tried, one in London the other in US.
    6. CDN – bypassing it altogether and just using it for DNS

    Not using any caching but the admin HTML is definitely being cached somewhere somehow, still happens when running the twentysixteen theme and no plugins at all.

    Site updated to 4.7 yesterday and still happening. Seems incredible there is nothing being reported about this as the elimination process pretty much just leaves WordPress core itself imo. Completely out of ideas.

    This is the same issue;
