We are having a problem with updates made to listings not going live, especially when viewed in Firefox. We make updates to people’s profiles and see the updates when logged in, but then when looking at the pages when not logged in, the changes don’t show. I thought it was the cache, but have tried clearing that out on the server side and on the end user side but it hasn’t made a difference.

It has to be a page cache since Connections does not cache the old data in any way. Which cache plugin are you using. Can you share a link to the directory page?

The site is http://www.coeweb.ecu.edu/directory

I just found Wordfence has a cache management option in it as well. I went in and cleared that cache and it seemed to fix it for now. Settings had it to automatically clear the cache when a post is published, but updates to the directory listings don’t seem to be triggering that. Any suggestions?

re: Any suggestions?

You should only use a single caching solution. Having more than one running could cause slower loading pages and other oddities.

You could exclude the directory page from the cache.

Would be a pain, but you could flush the page cache after entry updates.

Or, you could schedule the cache to flush automatically on a defined time period.

I did take a quick look at the doc for Wordfence Falcon Cache. I added an action which in theory would trigger the cache to be flushed when an entry is updated. I’ll include this in the next update being released today. You can let me know if it works for you or not.

Hope that helps!
