Hi,
I sometimes need to update my gallery and it isn't easy / convenient to tell my visitors to keep on deleting their Temp Internet Files in order to view the new content. Is there a way of forcing a refresh of the gallery upon each new visit?
Thanks.
you can add this code in page template (in header.php):
<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="max-age=0" />
<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache" />
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="0" />
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="Tue, 01 Jan 1980 1:00:00 GMT" />
<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache" />

Thanks Rattus. Is there anywhere specific where I need to add the code in order for it to work? I have tried it in a couple of places and it hasn't made any difference.
<meta> tags always goes inside the <head> element.

Open theme's header.php file and add code right after <head> tag.
In this way all your pages will not be cached. I recommend you to create page template with name No-Cache and use it for pages you wan't be cached.

I also need to continuously update the photos on the website but am not familiar with coding, which is why I use WP with plug-ins, etc. I looked at the above and tried a few things with no luck.
The gallery is on my client's site at http://www.RIYC.net. If I can get it to work properly on this site, I'll be using it on others. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
BTW, I love that a training video was created and wish it had been updated so it was easier to understand. It took hours for me just to get the plug-in to work simply because the video was outdated. Do you have an updated training video?
Thank you for all your help!

nitahelpinengland, you will also need to update the .htaccess with some similar code. I found the .htaccess equiv. code by chance on google.
