Cache not clearing when posts updated

    I have a multisite install, with Wordfence installed and network enabled, and Falcon caching enabled.

    As network admin, if I go to any of the sites and make a change to an existing post, there is a link allowing me to clear the cache next to the Update button, and even if I don’t use it, making a change to the post causes the cache to get cleared.

    However, if any of the individual site admins (who are not network admins) do the same thing, there is no link to clear the cache, and making a change does not clear the cache.

    When they contact me, if I go to edit that page, the cache gets cleared immediately I enter the edit page (ie without clicking “update” or clearing the cache manually).

    Suggestions?

    I’m comfortable hacking about with PHP so if it’s not a known issue feel free to tell me where to start looking.

    I’ve had to disable the cache because of this issue – any advice on bow to investigate this?

    Just a word, recently I spent literally days attempting to implement specific WordPress plugin server-side caching. I started with Wordfence, and quickly realized their caching options were primitive. I then proceeded to the several more popular WordPress cache plugins, and had to cut bait on those as well. I had multiple problems, not the least of which was having dynamic content on my pages that couldn’t be cached, yet was difficult to set up so it did not get cached.

    As an alternative, I first spent quite a bit of time optimizing site page speed. Along with that I use an ad server for all my advertising banners (since they’re dynamic anyway), and I added code in .htaccess to make sure browser caching would be as likely and effective as possible.

    So, point being, be careful how much time you spend trying to get Wordfence working as a cache engine. It may never do what you need.
