Forcing Browsers to re-cache Site

[AurochsDesign]

Need some help from you professionals! How do you solve the problem of users not seeing updates to your sites because their browsers have cached older versions? Is there any way to force site visitors to re-cache the site or just bypass caching all together?

Thanks very much for any help. Internet searches for this sent me in many directions and i just decided to pose the problem directly here.

btw.. very happy with the latest WYSIWYG version!

One of the commands in .htaccess can do that, I believe - as long as your web server is Apache compatible. I'm not sure, but I also think there's something for NGINX servers too.

For .htaccess, try this:

# DISABLE CACHING
<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 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
# 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)
