I believe I fixed it! I’m adding my solution in case anyone else has the same issue.

I added this to my htaccess file to disable caching:

<IfModule mod_headers.c>
    Header set Cache-Control "no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate"
    Header set Pragma "no-cache"
    Header set Expires 0
</IfModule>

<FilesMatch "\.(css|flv|gif|htm|html|ico|jpe|jpeg|jpg|js|mp3|mp4|png|pdf|swf|txt)$">
    <IfModule mod_expires.c>
        ExpiresActive Off
    </IfModule>
    <IfModule mod_headers.c>
        FileETag None
        Header unset ETag
        Header unset Pragma
        Header unset Cache-Control
        Header unset Last-Modified
        Header set Pragma "no-cache"
        Header set Cache-Control "max-age=0, no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate"
        Header set Expires "Thu, 1 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT"
    </IfModule>
</FilesMatch>

Hi, I have found that php REQUEST_URI doesn’t change when going to a new page. I installed a brand new fresh version of WP in a new directory and with new DB tables and I have the SAME problem. This would have to be a server issue, right? I called the webhost (godaddy) and he could not figure it out.

Update – I’ve added define(‘WP_CACHE’, false); to wp-config.php. And it appears to be fixed on desktop but not on mobile. I cleared my cache and cookies on my mobile phone and am still getting the issue. I am going to try installing a cache plugin and see if that changes anything.

EDIT: Actually I just realized it’s what you mentioned before, re: being logged in!

EDIT: I was wrong, it’s broken everywhere now. UGH.

Oh how weird, I totally thought it wasn’t doing it on desktop but it IS doing it on desktop for me too. I must have been mistaken! So yes it does appear to do it whether or not I am logged in. It does sound like it is a caching issue but I can’t imagine what would make it happen? A PHP setting? Any ideas? Thanks so much for looking!!

Ok, will do – thank you!

Hi, thanks for your response! Are you saying to add it via the WP admin? I did already add an excerpt for those menu items. You can see it on the individual menu item page:

It just isn’t showing up on the category grid page:
https://s757633344.onlinehome.us/menu-category/starters/

Please let me know if I’m misunderstanding you.

Thanks,
Heather

Oh, so in other words, I have to contact the webhost? (It doesn’t seem possible through the control panel)

Ok, I will try that… I just hate waiting ??

Thank you!

Hey! I think I’ve figured this out!!

I am going to make custom URLs – here is my reference:
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Class_Reference/WP_Rewrite

Yes exactly! That would be perfect. I don’t know how that is not offered as one of the options. It is the standard way to show photos in this world we live in!

Oh cool, thanks for the reply – just tried those ones. They are a little bit better. But it seems like there isn’t anything that does what I want (which I actually thought was pretty standard). It would be to just have the big photo (could have thumbnails on the bottom or not, either way) but with back & next arrows, and with a caption underneath the current photo. I’m really surprised there isn’t an option for that (unless I just couldn’t find it). Do you know of a slideshow plugin that does that? (Also, I’d rather it not refresh the page when it goes to the next photo)

I haven’t ?? Mine still sucks. I might try changing to another plugin. Let me know if you know of a better plugin for a photo gallery / slideshow…

Doesn’t work for me either ??

I changed my URL, it’s:
https://www.heathercash.com/photos/

Also the code I’m putting in my page looks like this:
[slideshow id=1 template=caption]

Thanks!

Ooops! Forgot the link ??

Thanks!

Allard,

Wow, thank you so much for the helpful response!! I will definitely check that out ?? ?? I inherited this site btw and am new to wordpress and had no idea about how to avoid the double-inclusions. Thanks again!!!
