Hi
I use Newspaper v9.0.1 for a regional newspaper, the template is wonderful and I am very happy to use it.
I have a problem with the new posts that are updated during the day and the homepage, both in the desktop version and the mobile version. If the user is a regular visitor and he wants to see the new post of today, the homepage shows yesterday’s post, the user has to refresh the page (F5) to see the new post, this is not normal.
In the mobile version the same issue happens.
This is an image capture when I visited today from my computer and my cell phone website https://www.eldiariodeguayana.com.ve

It does not show the new post without refreshing the page.
Several users complain about this issue
If I open a new incognito window in my browser from my computer or mobile and visit https://www.eldiariodeguayana.com.ve, if I can see the new post without pressing F5
How can I solve this issue?
Thank you
Common issue with opcache on server with php; which is designed to ‘cache’ pages for a long time. We have same issue where the cache holds onto page longer than expected; but in our case not theme specific.
Sites without the issue are those with more dynamic elements on front page, like a post slider which forces page update due to new larger thumbnail made for the slider (esp useful with Newsmag). Because other elements on front page updated when post added to a block, seems to work better. Weather widget, and new latest iteration of dynamic responsive page level ads from Google, all seem to impact this behavior.
Just food for thought anyway … not theme specific on our 20 sites.
