Hello Team,
Running Newspaper with caching.
On my main page I display (amongst other) news articles in Flex Block 1 with
> Filter
– All Categories
– Random Posts
If I hit F5 as a visitor, the blog articels don’t change, where as I check the page when being logged in as administrator the same time, different blog articles do show up (which is my intention).
Is there a setting that I can use in order to force different articles shown every time the main page shows, although I caching it?
Hi,
Please provide the link to your website and a screenshot of where the block is.
Thank you!

Hello Jos,
I checked and I think that the cache plugin caused this issue. Please do a test without the cache plugin and check if the issue persists.
Thank you!
Hi Anamaria,
Yes the issue is the cache function of WP Optimize.
If the cache plugin is causing this, why does the random display function work well if I am logged in backoffice (with caching active)?
Can you suggest another cache plugin that will do the job, or should I just use the cache function of Newspaper itself only?
Hello,
I think that the plugin has an object cache option, which is why it works when you are logged in.
We recommend Super cache -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/ also, you can use WP Rocket.
Thank you!
For all WP Optimize users, just change a setting in the plugin:
Under Cache >> Advanced settings, enter text ‘is_front_page’ (without ”) in Section “Conditional tags to exclude from caching”
That works fine!

Hi,
Thank you for this information.
Have a great day!
