Victor12

newbi3 Yes, this is a beta version and using it in production isn’t recommended.

@Victor12 i found a code in .htaccess that seems to solve the cache issue.
I do not know if this code is good or not for the forum simply disable cache and for me seems work on new content.

Issue on old content will persist you have to clear all browser data.
How i tested? Created a new post, edited, go back on main Flarum than i reopen the discussion and i see edited text no more the old wrong text.

You can try to add this but without any guaranty from my part and any reasonability.

<FilesMatch "\.(html|htm|js|css|php)>
FileETag None
Header unset ETag
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=0, no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate"
Header set Pragma "no-cache"
Header set Expires "Wed, 11 Jan 1984 05:00:00 GMT"
</FilesMatch>

Added this on top of the .htaccess on public folder.

peopleinside Doesn't really fix my issues, but can be useful for testing stuff, without having to clear the cache every 2 minutes. Thank you!

Toby

peopleinside Thanks for the video and all the extra info. I think we're getting close here.

From what I can see in the video, it actually looks like the API requests are the ones being cached, not the HTML document. If that's the case, adding the following line to .htaccess should fix it:

ExpiresByType application/vnd.api+json              "access plus 0 seconds"

Could you please try removing your FilesMatch solution and adding this line (together with all the other ExpiresByType lines), and see if it still works?

Toby

Victor12 Sorry I overlooked your own issue at the start of this discussion. It does sound like a similar over-caching issue to the one that @peopleinside was having. Can you please try:

Adding the line from Toby to your .htaccess file and see if it helps
If it doesn't help, go through a similar debugging process to @peopleinside to give us more information about what kind of caching is going on (screencast/screenshot the developer tools)

peopleinside

Toby Thank you Toby seems fix also your code. It works... i am testing more but works removed code find by me and insert your line, works.

Toby

peopleinside Awesome, glad to hear it! Thanks for your help and patience debugging this issue. I've added the fix to the .htaccess file that will be distributed with beta 8.1 onwards.

peopleinside

Toby it's me to have to say thank you to you. Thanks so much!

Victor12 Looks very slick! I'm not seeing anything abnormal at the moment. Do you have some definitive steps I can follow to reproduce the issue?

Toby

Victor12 Try starting a new discussion from the homepage. Does it redirect you to the category you have chosen?

It redirected me straight to the discussion I started.
