Of course, I don’t know what the latest version is for you. I see a homepage with the latest posts; the most recent one is from June 23, 2026. Since the site translates everything automatically, I’m not sure which language I should use to describe this to you 🙂 * You’re apparently using the W3 Total Cache plugin to optimize the output. Deactivate this plugin to see if that changes the output for you. If so, then this plugin is to blame for what you’re seeing. * I can’t find an OpenStreetMap. Here, too, a more detailed description would be helpful so I can assist you. However, no one here is familiar with your code, which makes it difficult to provide appropriate answers. * Thread Starter [peper3001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peper3001/) * (@peper3001) * [1 week, 4 days ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/somehow-the-cache-does-not-load-newest-version-shortcode-issue/#post-19024029) * hey man! I was replying to the email without any effects waiting for ur response 😄🤣😁🤣 * the latest post is called to germ and was published yesterday! When i access via tor i can see it, also via preview button when logged in the panel!!! Tor also dont show the map! * Moderator [threadi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/threadi/) * (@threadi) * [1 week, 4 days ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/somehow-the-cache-does-not-load-newest-version-shortcode-issue/#post-19024039) * Have you tried my tip above about the caching plugin? * By the way, you shouldn’t have to use the Tor browser (I assume that’s what you mean) to test access. It’s enough to simply open an incognito window. In that window, you’re not logged into your WordPress site, but you’ll see what your visitors see. * Thread Starter [peper3001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peper3001/) * (@peper3001) * [1 week, 4 days ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/somehow-the-cache-does-not-load-newest-version-shortcode-issue/#post-19024043) * i completely deactivated the plugin! Not working! I also tried an incognito window but it showed the old site! Onky tor showed the new! * its really crazy! Dont know what to do! * Moderator [threadi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/threadi/) * (@threadi) * [1 week, 4 days ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/somehow-the-cache-does-not-load-newest-version-shortcode-issue/#post-19024046) * I’m still not sure which one you mean by the “old site” and which one you mean by the “new site”. Could you maybe show me with some screenshots?

The latest blog is titled to germ and is written on 18th! That’s the new one! Try yourself on tor! * Moderator [threadi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/threadi/) * (@threadi) * [1 week, 4 days ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/somehow-the-cache-does-not-load-newest-version-shortcode-issue/#post-19024060) * As I said, everything on my end is automatically translated by the multilingual plugin you’re using, and I don’t know what language you’re writing “to germ” in. The name doesn’t ring a bell for me either. * I see exactly the same page on my end in every browser, including Tor, just as I described above. I don’t see any posts from the 18th (which month?) anywhere, in any browser. Here’s what it looks like to me everywhere I look: * [https://snipboard.io/hNS9Gk.jpg](https://snipboard.io/hNS9Gk.jpg) * I can still see that W3 Total Cache is enabled. Why don’t you try disabling it to rule it out as the cause? If that doesn’t make a difference, check your other plugins to see which ones might also be setting a cache. Even the multilingual plugin could be doing that. Maybe just try disabling them all to rule them out and find the culprit that way. * Thread Starter [peper3001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peper3001/) * (@peper3001) * [1 week, 4 days ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/somehow-the-cache-does-not-load-newest-version-shortcode-issue/#post-19024079) * on my ends the w3 cache plugin was disabled! How can you see that it is enabled? * I am speaking of this month, 18th, means yesterday! The title is “to germ” and it is written in english! When I open torbrowser it is there! * dont know what to do anymore… try it on tor please! * Moderator [threadi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/threadi/) * (@threadi) * [1 week, 4 days ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/somehow-the-cache-does-not-load-newest-version-shortcode-issue/#post-19024082) * As mentioned earlier, it looks just like the screenshot in every browser, including Tor. * You can tell that the caching plugin is active by looking at the page’s source code. * What did the other tests show? * Thread Starter [peper3001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peper3001/) * (@peper3001) * [1 week, 4 days ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/somehow-the-cache-does-not-load-newest-version-shortcode-issue/#post-19024090) * strange thing is, i just tested it again on tor and it shows the new site!

But I don’t see any OpenstreetMap also. * (Whenever the word “openstreetmap” appears in a post, I receive an email. That’s also why I took a closer look at your question.) * [prateekshawebdesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/prateekshawebdesign/) * (@prateekshawebdesign) * [1 week, 4 days ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/somehow-the-cache-does-not-load-newest-version-shortcode-issue/#post-19024359) * hi [peper3001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peper3001/) * I would first disable **W3 Total Cache** temporarily and check the site again. If that fixes it, I’d clear all W3TC caches and re-enable it. * As an alternative, I’d also test with a simpler caching plugin such as **WP Super Cache** or **Cache Enabler**. For the shortcode, I’d exclude that page from caching first, especially if the OpenStreetMap content is generated dynamically. * Thread Starter [peper3001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peper3001/) * (@peper3001) * [1 week, 4 days ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/somehow-the-cache-does-not-load-newest-version-shortcode-issue/#post-19024428) * i think ive already disabled w3 plugin completely. How can i disable caching for only one site??? * sorry, but i gave no clues. * [George Appiah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gappiah/) * (@gappiah) * [1 week, 4 days ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/somehow-the-cache-does-not-load-newest-version-shortcode-issue/#post-19024434) * This is 100% a stale cache. * Going directly to the provided URL shows the “old site”: WordPress admin bar with translator at the top, latest post date June 23 (titled “powerlaser straight focus” in English), and HTML source shows the presence of **W3 Total Cache** plugin. * But adding a random query parameter to the URL (to bypass the cache) shows the“ new site” with no WordPress admin bar, latest post date September 18 (titled “ Top Gem” in English), and the HTML source shows no trace of W3 Total Cache or any other caching plugin at all. * So, while the caching plugin seems to be disabled, the previously cached file still exists somewhere on the server and is being served to visitors. * 1) Check your hosting environment to see if there’s any server-level caching, and flush or disable it. * 2) If there’s no server-level cache or if flushing it doesn’t solve the problem, enable the W3 Total Cache plugin and fully flush/empty all caches before disabling it. * 3) As a last resort, access your site’s files and delete the `wp-content/cache/` folder where the WP Total Cache plugin stores its cache. * Good luck!
