# Clearing cache & pagecache breaks site

 * If I clear both caches in Troubleshooting section I get 404’s on my css and js
   files.
    It seems that the html served is out of date referencing older css & 
   js files. Is there certain file permissions on cache folders that need to exist?
   I enabled logging and noticed a temp write test failure but it was to “wp-content”
   folder. Despite having js minify enabled my js is not minified – I have JSMin
   selected.
 * Any ideas?

 * 1. Do you have a 3rdparty caching plugin?
    2. To be sure, try to refresh page
   in browser (Ctrl+F5).

 * This particular site uses Divi but I have turned off all its minifying & static
   file generation.

 * It may be that you cleared “Page Cache” prior to clearing “Cache” (or clearing“
   Cache” only, without clearing of “Page Cache” at all). This issue will be fixed
   in 0.9.29, but currently it is recommended to clear “Page Cache” after clearing“
   Cache”.
