Title: Help with clearing cache Last modified: July 10, 2017 --- # Help with clearing cache * Resolved [mbell25b](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbell25b/) * (@mbell25b) * [8 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-clearing-cache/) * Hi, * I have just created a website, and it went live last Friday. * I am using WP4.8, Hueman Theme and WP Fastest Cache on the site. When I create new posts to the site, then it does not update automatically, each time I have to do a hard refresh or view it in a private browser in order to see the changes. * I downloaded this plugin thinking that it would fix this, but unfortunaetly it doesnt. The tickboxes that are checked within the plugin settings are as follows: * Cache System: Enable New Post: Clear cache files when a post or page is published Update Post: Clear cache files when a post or page is updated Minify HTML: You can decrease the size of page Minify Css: You can decrease the size of css files Combine Css: Reduce HTTP requests through combined css files Combine Js: Reduce HTTP requests through combined js files (header) Gzip: Reduce the size of files sent from your server Browser Caching: Reduce page load times for repeat visitors * I have been able to get a slight work around. After I make any changes to the site, then I go into this plugin and click on Delete Cache in the blue box. But, other people are updating the site, and they are not as tech savvy so I don’t really want them to be able to go into this section to delete cache. Would anyone be able to offer any help here at all? * Thanks Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 20 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-clearing-cache/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-clearing-cache/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Author [Emre Vona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emrevona/) * (@emrevona) * [8 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-clearing-cache/#post-9305481) * Probably you are using google chrome. You should disable “browser caching” option. * Thread Starter [mbell25b](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbell25b/) * (@mbell25b) * [8 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-clearing-cache/#post-9305549) * Thanks for reply.. I am actually using Firefox. * But, even if I add a post on the computer and then view on my phone the post will not show when I view the site. I need to go to the site and then hard refresh before I can see it. * Plugin Author [Emre Vona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emrevona/) * (@emrevona) * [8 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-clearing-cache/#post-9305972) * what does “hard refresh” mean? shift+f5? * Thread Starter [mbell25b](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbell25b/) * (@mbell25b) * [8 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-clearing-cache/#post-9307560) * Yes. Or else just clicking the Refresh icon on the browser. * For example: If I have visited the website today on my phone, and then login and add a new post (doing this on my computer). If I then go back on my phone, go to google and then go back to my site, the new post will not be there. * But, if I go back to the site, and click on the refresh icon, then the post will appear. Does that make it more clear? * Plugin Author [Emre Vona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emrevona/) * (@emrevona) * [8 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-clearing-cache/#post-9308636) * Browser caching causes this issue. You need to disable browser caching. * Thread Starter [mbell25b](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbell25b/) * (@mbell25b) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-clearing-cache/#post-9318772) * Great. * Would this not just affect it for me but? * I mean, if someone else goes to view the site then they would still be having the same problems? Just curious, I am guessing this is a problem with WP just.. * I see the cache control header in the response, if I changed this to no-store would this help the problem? * Thanks for your help! * Plugin Author [Emre Vona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emrevona/) * (@emrevona) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-clearing-cache/#post-9319159) * hmm may be. Actually I did not test it before. * Thread Starter [mbell25b](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbell25b/) * (@mbell25b) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-clearing-cache/#post-9321663) * So, is there a way to fix my initial problem? * Disabling browser caching will only affect me. * Plugin Author [Emre Vona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emrevona/) * (@emrevona) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-clearing-cache/#post-9321777) * why do you think that it affects only you? * Thread Starter [mbell25b](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbell25b/) * (@mbell25b) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-clearing-cache/#post-9322055) * As you said I need to disable browser caching, I was under the impression that I did that in my browser? Therefore it would only affect me, when I view it in that particular browser? * Am I misunderstanding you somewhere? Do I disable browser caching within the plugin? * Thread Starter [mbell25b](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbell25b/) * (@mbell25b) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-clearing-cache/#post-9322066) * Apologies, I now see the browser caching option within the plugin. I guess I will untick that. * Thanks for your help!! * Plugin Author [Emre Vona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emrevona/) * (@emrevona) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-clearing-cache/#post-9322182) * yes, on the settings page of WPFC 🙂 you are welcome. * Thread Starter [mbell25b](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbell25b/) * (@mbell25b) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-clearing-cache/#post-9322386) * Wow. * I changed this and now the site gives a 500 response. * Even in the admin section of the site, the styling is not how it used to be. * This previously happened when I made changes in the settings, and I had to delete the etchosts file, and then undo all the changes… * Plugin Author [Emre Vona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emrevona/) * (@emrevona) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-clearing-cache/#post-9322596) * you disabled “Browser Caching” via the WPFC settings page and you started to get Internal Server Error (500), right? * Thread Starter [mbell25b](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbell25b/) * (@mbell25b) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-clearing-cache/#post-9322827) * Correct.
