Cached pages cache-control header

    Hello,

    Was wondering why this plugin no longer respect my cache control header for HTML, I have set a “cache-control: no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0” but it look like the cached page are getting cached by the browsers now.

    In the past I remember the header was still present on the cached pages.

    I don’t know if it really matter but my I just want to make sure people always see my latest posts.

    Thank you.

    no need to set the cache control because it is already added like that.

    Well currently when someone is clicking on a cached post and then decide to login, the post is still showing like the user is logged out. (cached version)

    This is why I added the cache-control: no-cache for html on my site, but this header no longer work.

    1. did you enable the “Logged-in User” option?
    2. are you using a server-side cache system or cloudflare?

    Yes I enabled this option and I’m using Cloudflare but Cloudflare doesn’t cache HTML.

    When someone login they have to refresh the page to see the uncached pages.

    can you enable the “development mode” of cloudflare and try please?

    Same issue, the only fix I have found is to add: cache-control: no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0 header to the pages.

    But it look like I can’t add it anymore

    where do you want to add it?

    Nginx Config.

    location ~ \.(html|htm|rtf|rtx|txt|xsd|xsl|xml)$ {
    etag on;
    if_modified_since exact;
    add_header Pragma “no-cache”;
    add_header Cache-Control “max-age=0, private, no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate”;
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
    }

    I tested on a new install and it look like WordPress is removing this header.

    neither wordpress nor a plugin is able to remove the rule from nginx config file.

    Can’t really explain what’s happening then.

    can you tell me the site url please?

    I can’t post the URL publicly but I think it’s an issue with WordPress and not plugins.

    I tried some plugins that add cache control header on HTML and they are not working either.

    I recommend you to use Apache instead on Nginx.

    Same issue with Apache unfortunately, would it be possible to add an option to add the cache control header to the cached pages? Without this header, people often think they are not logged in because they are still seeing the cached pages. Even with the “Don’t show the cached version for logged-in users” option enabled.

    are you using the native membership of wordpress or are you using a plugin?
