Hello,

Im using this theme as a news blog.
I noticed that when i visit the homepage, i need to refresh the page before i get new news feed.
Does the theme have any default caching plugin?

I have not installed any caching plugin on the website.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Hello Kelvin,

The only recommended caching plugin is WP Super Cache. Please check the useful manual here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/

Thanks.

Note that your web browser has caching (e.g., Chrome); and also WP does have some micro caching (‘transients’) in place which can be cleared using WP Optimize to clear those transients (I use it once a day here to clear cobwebs per site).

Also, technically most modern versions of PHP 5.6 and up have ‘opcache’ running which helps to do caching of stuff like pages with many requests.

So, if you view home page — all those things cache the page in your browser — and then you do new post, go back and look, new post not there. This is normal. However, a NEW visitor would only see the newly updated content.

(short answer was YES! and NO! — theme not doing that; it’s WP, PHP/Server side, and browser cache… )

Hello,

Thanks for the update.
I will take a look at the transients and see how to manage them.

Best Regards

I really noticed it last week again when changing out the wrong photo on post, went back to home page, and went ‘hey!’ — and had to hit refresh to see the new image.

It’s not just you 😉
