Hello,
I've been facing a very annoying cache problem on my forum. I thought it was related to my hosting but we did everything we could on that end.
Here's the summary:
We were using Cloudflare, and I know CF's cache system can be painful. We thought this problem stemmed from CF so we removed it.
The website was working well, but I couldn't get Global.css changes to show up on the website. I check the file on the FTP, and it is updated with my latest changes, yet the file on the website (or the direct link to that global CSS file) never shows the updated file.
I did everything on my end. Cleared cache, tried proxies, tried different browsers.
The changes are reflected HOURS later. For instance, a code I added yesterday morning is finally here, 24 hours later. Yet I still can't apply new changes.
After we realized the problem wasn't related to CF, we're now back on it. It's in development mode. I purged cache a thousand times. I also continuously rebuild cache on MyBB.
The no-cache header setting is set to Yes.
But I'm now sure that this is related to MyBB.
I'm running MyBB 1.8.24. PHP version is 5.6.40.
My Plugins:
Enhanced Account Switcher, FASTyle, GoMobile, MentionMe, MyAlerts, MyProfile, NewPoints, Template Conditionals, Prostats, QuickReferences, Rin Editor, XThreads, YourCode
This problem is preventing us from coding a new skin for our forum.
In short:
- All cache settings on MyBB are correct (I checked several topics on this forum, and I already applied whatever was recommended there).
- CF cache is disabled (development mode) and purged.
- Global.css file is updated on Admin CP (both with FASTyle and with the normal editor) and the FTP file (it is instantly updated).
- Global.css on the website is never updated.
- The forum with and without "www" gets a different version of the Global.css file but it is never the updated one!
Does anyone know what might cause this?
