Full Version: Issues with cache and security

I used to be really good with MyBB and stuff, but it's been a few years and I'm getting back into it. I used Dreamhost before and I'm using them again, but things have apparently changed a bit and it's a little more complicated than what I used before. I can't figure it out on my own.

My domain is http://lionheart-rp.com

I have two issues. First off, the changes I make to themes and templates are not updating properly when I save them. I've tried clearing my cache, restarting my browser, restarting my computer, using different browsers, changing my FTP account type, almost everything I can think of, but everything seems to be a temporary fix. Every single time I make a change to themes/templates I have to hard refresh BOTH my admin panel and my website, or the changes don't save in the themes/templates panel either.

Second issue, I'm not sure if I need to ask here or Dreamhost, but my website says it is Not Secure in the address bar. Again I had changed the FTP account type and Filezilla finally stopped warning me since I made it SFTP, but I'm still concerned because the warning the browser is giving me. I'm not familiar with what I need to do to make the website secure or what will happen. Like I said it's been a long time.

Try setting Send No Cache Headers to Yes (Configuration → Settings → Server and Optimization Options).

You'll need to setup HTTPS - see:

I was able to fix the HTTPS issue. The cache thing is hit or miss. The admin panel is working fine now, but the website is still needing to be refreshed every time.

Thank you for your help!
