How can I disable caching?

  • Hi All,
    I have a problem: each time my blog updates (i.e. a new entry added), I don’t see the changes until I press ctrl+F5 to refresh the page. The same with comments: if someone adds a comment, and I open that page, I only see the old comments, and I have to press ctrl+F5 to see the new one.

    Can I disable caching somehow for my blog?
    I just checked the headers in mozilla dev.toolbar:


    Date: Mon, 07 Nov 2005 22:21:54 GMT
    Server: Apache/1.3.33 (Unix) mod_auth_passthrough/1.8 mod_log_bytes/1.2 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2634a mod_ssl/2.8.22 OpenSSL/0.9.7d
    X-Powered-By: PHP/5.0.4
    Connection: close
    Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

    I guess these headers missing:

    header('Expires: Mon, 11 Jan 1984 05:00:00 GMT');
    header('Last-Modified: ' . gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s') . ' GMT');
    header('Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0');
    header('Pragma: no-cache');

    How can I add them?
    P.S. I’m on WordPress 1.5

  • Can’t you set your browser to check for a new page on each visit rather than using it’s cache ?

    Unless you have added a plugin, WP does not cache on the server. It could be an issue with your browser settings.

    Thanks for your replies.
    I did not add any caching plugins,
    will try to toy around with my browser settings.
