refresh nocache
-
In your docs on https://icalevents.com/support/documentation/shortcodes/ you say:
Other
refresh=true or nocache=true (forces a fresh fetch of the file each time ) used in url access only, not as shortcode
I don’t know what you mean by “used in url access only”. I do have a shortcode to display an ical and I’d like it to be refreshed every time the page loads. Where exactly do I put this parameter? I’m sorry, it’s not clear to me.
Many thanks!

Hi, Re shortcode parameter usage: You can also see examples of shortcode parameter usage lower on that page that you linked to. See
https://icalevents.com/support/documentation/shortcodes/#examplesAlso it is just like any other shortcode parameter. See https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Shortcode. Although I see there they refer to “attributes”. Hmm – parameters makes more sense to me!
Re your second question, I assume you mean that you have an ics url to use in the shortcode? ‘Url access’ means you are accessing the events through a url and not from within your wordpress database as one would when using https://icalevents.com/downloads/amr-events/
Re refreshing every time the page loads, bear in mind that the provider of the url
- may not update the ice file instantaneously. If you think it is not updating, save the file from the browser & open it in a text editor to check
if your update is actually in the latest version or not. - may place limits on the fetches. Read https://icalevents.com/1814-refresh-calendar-if-new-dates-not-showing/
And yes, you can of course request the plugin to fetch the url each time and it will try, if it times out or gets any other problem, it will use the last fetched version.
