Title: do not cache posts ever Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # do not cache posts ever * [mitchberry](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mitchberry/) * (@mitchberry) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/do-not-cache-posts-ever-help/) * [http://safewordcycles.com](http://safewordcycles.com) * hey guys, i’m using a plugin called * “eBay Feeds for WordPress” * it works pretty good, but, the problem is, my website caches the posts, and will not update every time the page is opened, (if ever) which is a pain in the butt. i have verified that ebay’s feed IS changing, but my site will not parse the new info unless i change a parameter in the feed link. * like for example an item may show $3,000 (4 bids) but when i go to ebay it says $4,500 (15 bids) and it ALSO reflects 4500 15 bids in the FEED that i copy from my post and put into a browser … * then if i change my link from displaying items=1000, to 1001 in the short code, it will parse and show the correct info….. but then if i change it back to 1000, it shows the old info again!!!! * I have about 100 feeds showing throughout my site, i would hate to change the feeds every few minutes to show accurate data. * I have tried every cache plug in listed in the store, most of them are FOR caching, not killing cache. * I understand that some of the cache issues are typically browser related, but, in my case, i can view it in chrome, I.E. Firefox and have the same result even after clearing browser caches, and then can go to my phone, and a different computer and STILL see the exact same results, even if i have never been to the site on that computer… * I have also noticed that when i put the feed in the “visual” area of the post box, it shows up ok, then if i go to “text” the feed shows &… i’m not sure if that breaks the short code, or if i need to be putting the feed stuff directly into text instead of visual, BUT….. i have tested it, and it makes NO difference for cache. it’s worth mentioning too, whenever i make physical changes to my website, it updates within seconds on my computer, but these feeds don’t. * VISUAL [ebayfeedsforwordpress feed=”[http://rest.ebay.com/epn/v1/find/item.rss?keyword=toyota&categoryId1=6016&sortOrder=BestMatch&programid=1&campaignid=5337340421&toolid=10039&customid=toyota&minPrice=2500&listingType1=All&lgeo=1&feedType=rss”](http://rest.ebay.com/epn/v1/find/item.rss?keyword=toyota&categoryId1=6016&sortOrder=BestMatch&programid=1&campaignid=5337340421&toolid=10039&customid=toyota&minPrice=2500&listingType1=All&lgeo=1&feedType=rss”); items=”1000″] * TEXT [ebayfeedsforwordpress feed=”[http://rest.ebay.com/epn/v1/find/item.rss?keyword=toyota&categoryId1=6016&sortOrder=BestMatch&programid=1&campaignid=5337340421&toolid=10039&customid=toyota&minPrice=2500&listingType1=All&lgeo=1&feedType=rss”](http://rest.ebay.com/epn/v1/find/item.rss?keyword=toyota&categoryId1=6016&sortOrder=BestMatch&programid=1&campaignid=5337340421&toolid=10039&customid=toyota&minPrice=2500&listingType1=All&lgeo=1&feedType=rss”); items=”1000″] * so, what do i need to do here? * i’m not a programmer, but, if someone tells me an exact code to place in an exact file, i can do that. * Please help!!!!!! * since i know that people will say “check the other plugins you’re using * here is a complete list of plugins * akismet not active content.ad active ebay feeds for wordpress active rss post importer not active * that’s it… nothing else is installed. * thanks in advance guys.

If you are not running any caching plugins, there is likely some server-level caching causing trouble. * Thread Starter [mitchberry](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mitchberry/) * (@mitchberry) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/do-not-cache-posts-ever-help/#post-5587135) * contacted them, they changed the name of a folder and said “that should do it” but i had no way to test it until some time passed. it didn’t fix the issue. * any idea what direction i could point them aside from changing a folder name? i’m sure it’s level 2 tech support, but, i have to convince them that it is. * i use hostgator btw. * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/do-not-cache-posts-ever-help/#post-5587140) * Try asking if there is any server-level caching, and if you have any way to control that. * Also, are you using Cloudflare? * Thread Starter [mitchberry](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mitchberry/) * (@mitchberry) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/do-not-cache-posts-ever-help/#post-5587153) * yeah i’m on chat with them right now, and they are looking into “something” but not sure what exactly yet.. * i don’t know what cloudflare is. should i be? * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/do-not-cache-posts-ever-help/#post-5587155) * > i don’t know what cloudflare is. should i be? * Not if you don’t want to. 🙂 * It’s a popular third-party caching service that could have caused this if not configured properly. * Thread Starter [mitchberry](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mitchberry/) * (@mitchberry) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/do-not-cache-posts-ever-help/#post-5587165) * Passed to L2 tech support, awaiting answer.
