Greetings al, and Peter Small. I have ran into many different issues when dealing with web design and browser cache when testing a quick fix with css, an image, or anything that the browser (or the hosting server) has stored.
I use https://chrispederick.com/work/web-developer/ <https://chrispederick.com/work/web-developer/> in all browsers: chrome, Firefox, brave, opera, and edge. I use Webdevloper extension to clear cache much easier than going into the browser prefs. When some of my development is using a main.css that includes all the other css files and main.css?ver=3 going to ver=4 does not work, I sometimes have to close the current tab I am in and open the site in a new one. Web developer also allows you to remove session cookies, which does help. The other issue I ran into that changing version (?ver=) does not help at all. The reason is that the server (siteground - not mine but some places I do web work for use) they have a built in cache for all pages and sites which frustrates me to wanting to do terrible things. I understand it makes the site go faster (in theory) but I cannot see any changes made to see if they work live and not just local. You should always verify the live site is what the local site is. anyway. I have to go into Wordpress and use their plugin to clear site wide cache. Siteground gave me some code to add to htaccess but it does not work. So you may want to find out if your host has a built in automatic cache on your site before pulling your hair out. - gerald > On Jun 19, 2021, at 04:43, Peter Small <[email protected]> wrote: > > What I ended up doing was to download all the files on my website > (www.dinnerpartytown.uk) then with BBEdit's multiple file search I made the > following replacements: > ".html" replaced with ".html?v=1.0" > ".js" replaced with ".js?v=1.0" > ".css" replaced with ".css?v=1.0" > ".jpg" replaced with ".jpg?v=1.0" > I then uploaded all the files to the server and everything seems to work > fine. > I'm hoping this will allow me to make changes that will not be ignored > through visitor browser caching. > > On Friday, June 18, 2021 at 1:08:47 PM UTC+1 Greg Raven wrote: > This sounds like a good reason not to use Chrome, but in your shoes I think I > would select those files in the Finder and right-click to bring up the Rename > function.
