# Pages are caching

 * I’ve got a pretty annoying issue, which is breaking my entire site…
 * If I visit certain pages, they’re showing content from another page, and highlighting
   that page as selected in the navigation. If I then refresh the page, the correct
   content shows, and the correct page is highlight.
 * All the time, the correct URL is being shown in the URL bar.
 * For example;
 * I click on Products in the nav, and /products is shown in the URL. However, I’m
   seeing content for Customers and Customers is selected in the nav. If I refresh,
   it all changes to Products.
 * If I click on Customers in the nav, then that page shows fine.
 * If I visit the site again, the issue occurs again.
 * Here’s a list of pages, and what content is being shown (until I refresh);
    –
   Home > Home content – Products > Customers content – Applications > Customers
   content – Customers > Customers content – Technical > Technical content – Distributors
   > Customers content – Contact Us > Contact Us content
 * To throw another spanner in the works, on the Customers page, I have links to
   other pages (/customers/examples) – if I click on Applications, and see the Customers
   content, these links are then linked as /applications/examples, or /distibutors/
   examples when I click on Distributors.
 * My site is pretty basic, and built off the Roots WordPress Theme, and did have
   W3 Total Cache installed. I’ve recently removed W3 Total Cache (deleted, not 
   just disabled), and also removed all the Roots things in the htaccess file, so
   it’s now a standard htaccess (other than some redirects);
 *     ```
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
       RewriteRule ^assets/css/(.*) /wp-content/themes/magnom/assets/css/$1 [QSA,L]
       RewriteRule ^assets/js/(.*) /wp-content/themes/magnom/assets/js/$1 [QSA,L]
       RewriteRule ^assets/img/(.*) /wp-content/themes/magnom/assets/img/$1 [QSA,L]
       RewriteRule ^plugins/(.*) /wp-content/plugins/$1 [QSA,L]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
       ```
   
 * I’m stuck now, as I can’t for the life of me figure out what’s causing this. 
   The server is my own VPS, if that helps at all.
 * Please help!

 * I should also note that if I switch Permalinks off, to the default ?p=123 then
   everything works fine (although obviously other pages I link to are expecting
   Permalink URLs).
 * I’ve also just found out that the Numeric option works, so it looks like any 
   Permalink that uses `%postname%/`

 * Can you please try again? If it still fails, try to deactivate all plugins and
   try.
