Not authenticated but can still access web pages after initial access

    Hi there,

    I’m running into an issue that appears to be cache-related. I’m running WordPress on an NGINX server hosted in an Azure Docker container. I’m also using the PDA extension to prevent access to files of a directory that’s located off the root of the site. Users must log in to access any of the content found in this directory. Unauthenticated users currently get a 404 error if no one has accessed the file. Once a logged in user accesses any of the files however, anyone that’s not authenticated can then access those same files. The only way I can restrict access again is by restarting the server. I was using W3 Total Cache but I have since removed that. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Regards,
    Francis

    Nina from support was kind enough to address my issue. She quickly pointed out that FastCGI was doing additional caching on my site. Disabling this within NGINX produced the desired functionality.

    Thanks again for the quick turn-around for support.
