Hey @webmark487,
Thank you for reaching out to us for assistance. Yes, cachetime works. In the example you provided, it will ‘flag’ the page after 60 minutes so that the next time the page with the feed is visited, the plugin will check for new posts.
This is a different type of caching trigger from the standard caching settings (in the plugin settings ‘Feed’ tab), which is caching that occurs in the background based on CRON jobs. The cachetime option enabled the above mentioned function, also called ‘Page caching’.
If you seem to have trouble making it work, other website caching systems can cause a conflict here. In some examples, Browser caching has caused users to not see feed updates as often as possible.
We generally suggest using background caching. If it is not working as expected, you may have an issue with CRON jobs not running, or an Object/Database Caching conflict. You can find some details on CRON jobs here.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns!
Best regards,
Joel
