# WP-Cache–cannot clear cache

 * I just activated wp-cache & the first thing I noticed was that after editing 
   a previously published post, I could not see the changes no matter how many times
   or ways I tried to clear the cache. Is there some trick to doing this? Or is 
   this a problem of WP-Cache? I even tried opening the post in an entirely new 
   tab but I still couldn’t see the editing changes.
 * In the meantime, I’ve deactivated the plugin till I can figure out what’s up 
   w. it.

 * Did you completely clear your browser’s cache? Have you looked at the post in
   another browser? What version of WordPress are you running?

 * I’m running FF 1.5 & WP 1.5.3. I just checked the edited post in IE & the editing
   changes DO display properly there.
 * To clear my cache I tried Shift+Reload, Ctrl+Reload. Not sure those are the proper
   command keys but they’ve always worked in other situations in which I needed 
   to clear the cache.

 * To force a clear reload in Firefox, hit `F5`.

 * Oh, thanks. Sorry, but I didn’t know about F5. That cleared the cache fine. Guess
   I’ll just use that method whenever I edit posts in future in order to see the
   results.

 * Sorry, but I have to take back what I wrote in the above msg. I just edited a
   post, saved it, opened the post in blog display & hit F5. I could not see the
   editing change.
 * Is there some kind of delay built into WP Cache that doesn’t allow one to fully
   clear the cache for a certain period of time? That sounds odd, but I thought 
   I’d ask.
 * THe reason I asked about this hunch is that when I did succeed in clearing the
   cache using F5 & seeing the editing change it’d been a certain amt. of time after
   making the change. But when I clear the cache & attempt to see the editing change
   right after making it, then I can’t seem to do so.

 * Try this:
 * 1. Clear IE’s cache and quite IE.
 * 2. Use FF to edit one of your posts.
 * 3. Immediately check the post in IE.
 * If the post change is visible in IE, then you may have found a bug in Firefox(
   which is unlikely), or you aren’t hitting the right `F5` key. If the post change
   is not visible in IE, then the problem is due to a delay in the WP-Cache plugin,
   and you should contact the plugin’s developer for more info.

 * I’m hearing Twilight Zone music…Now everything seems to be working AOK. Whenever
   I make an editing change I can see it display clearly in FF by using F5. Either
   I wasn’t hitting F5 properly before (an impossibility) or…I don’t know what.
 * Anyway, as of now it’s working. So I’m not going to complain. Thanks again for
   staying with me througout this strange episode. I’ll keep an eye on it in case
   it happens again.
