Auto updating web pages cache.

[gregbarnes]

I constantly have to change page content on my site but most browsers don't auto update the web pages cache if the content changes. Is there a way to automatically update users browser cache to show the latest content?
Thanks in advance,
Greg

You can add the following code using Page Properties and inserting into Meta Tags>Meta Tags>User Define

Code: Select all

<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" />
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" />
<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="0" />

Or via the use of .htacess (server)
# DISABLE CACHING

Code: Select all

<IfModule mod_headers.c>
	Header set Cache-Control "no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate"
	Header set Pragma "no-cache"
	Header set Expires 0
</IfModule>

You can also enable cache busting (Available since WBB16)

excuse me, where is this?

What do you mean "where is this?". It is not part of the software if that is what your asking. It is a server file which is
generally found in document root directory public_html, www, or htdocs of your website. To use you should contact your host for help.
It is basically just a text(.txt) file with the code shown inserted renamed to .htaccess and then saved you will get a warning do you wish to save without the extension (.txt) just say yes you then upload to the above mentioned. Note as it is a server file all help should be made to them really.
