 * Hi everyone,
 * since 1-2 weeks I have caching problems with my WP backend.
 * – modifications don’t show up (in backend)
    – e.g. I delete users; have to refresh
   like 5-6 times or switch to anonymous mode (Chrome) to see the change happening
   in Backend – I switch language in backend (settings > general) backend is still
   in previous language; after lots of refreshing it then changes – etc pp.
 * Is there a way to stop WP backend caching?
 * Looking forward to hearing from you.
 * Best,
    Daniel

 * Hi,
    1- Are you using any cache plugin?
 * 2- Contact to hosting provider about this issue.
 * Thanks

 * Hi,
 * 1) unfortunately I don’t use any caching plugin.
    The only caching related thing
   are the lines I placed into my htaccess sort of one year ago: <IfModule mod_headers.
   c> <filesMatch “.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|ico)$”> Header set Cache-Control “max-age=
   31536000, public” </filesMatch> <filesMatch “.(css|js)$”> Header set Cache-Control“
   max-age=604800, public” </filesMatch> Header set Cache-Control “max-age=86400,
   public” </IfModule>
 * 2) I already contacted my hoster of some server caching enquiries. They say that
   there are no such settings for my WP application…
 * You have any other idea?

 * Hi,
    Try deactivating all plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each
   one individually until you find the cause.
 * I would also suggest to test with another machine.
 * Thanks

 * Hi, thanks for your quick response.
 * Will do that. What you mean by “machine”?

 * Hi guys,
 * the caching still occurs but I think I found the error.
 * – I checked with another machine => still there
    – unnecessary plugins been disabled
   and deleted
 * I talked 3 times with my hoster, they assured there is NO server caching in use.
 * It looks very much as if caching comes from browser caching which is set in htaccess.
 * Hoster said its possible to exclude “wp-admin” (WP backend) from caching.
 * Question:
 * Could you help me out and give me the code for excluding “Wp-admin” in browser
   caching?
 * the current code in htaccess is:
 * ————-
 * # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule
   ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-
   d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule>
 * # END WordPress
 * # Deflate Compression by FileType
    <IfModule mod_deflate.c> AddOutputFilterByType
   DEFLATE text/plain AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html AddOutputFilterByType
   DEFLATE text/xml AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css AddOutputFilterByType
   DEFLATE text/javascript AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xml AddOutputFilterByType
   DEFLATE application/xhtml+xml AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rss+xml
   AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/atom_xml AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE
   application/javascript AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript
   AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-shockwave-flash </IfModule>
 * <ifModule mod_gzip.c>
    mod_gzip_on Yes mod_gzip_dechunk Yes mod_gzip_item_include
   file .(html?|txt|css|js|php|pl)$ mod_gzip_item_include handler ^cgi-script$ mod_gzip_item_include
   mime ^text/.* mod_gzip_item_include mime ^application/x-javascript.* mod_gzip_item_exclude
   mime ^image/.* mod_gzip_item_exclude rspheader ^Content-Encoding:.*gzip.* </ifModule
   >
 * <IfModule mod_headers.c>
 * <filesMatch “.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|ico)$”>
    Header set Cache-Control “max-age=31536000,
   public” </filesMatch>
 * <filesMatch “.(css|js)$”>
    Header set Cache-Control “max-age=604800, public” 
   </filesMatch>
 * Header set Cache-Control “max-age=86400, public”
 * </IfModule>
