Not updating the header date of homepage

  • Hello.
    I have a question about deleting cache. If I don’t click the button “delete cache”, the date at header of the homepage is not updating. It shows the date of the last time I deleted cache. The weird though is that this happens when I work with pc. When I checked it at tablet the date worked fine.

    As I saw what happens, I thought to add new rule in cache timeout would be fine. And I add “homepage, once every 2 hours”. I did that yesterday, and when I logged in today I saw that the rule didn’t exist. It was not saved I assume. And the date was the yesterday.

    Did I do right to add new rule? Otherwise what should I do to fix it?

    My blog is https://www.taskylonea.com

    The page is saved as a static html file. that’s why. According to me that clearing cache for date is not so good. You can show the date with javascript as well.

    And how can I do this? Let me inform you that I’m totally unaware of all these.
    And in which case should I clear cache and how often would be safe to do?

    As I see that you are not a developer. I wrote the code for you. Just put the following code into footer.php of theme file.

    <script type=”text/javascript”>
    function put_current_date(){
    var objToday = new Date(),
    weekday = new Array(‘Sunday’, ‘Monday’, ‘Tuesday’, ‘Wednesday’, ‘Thursday’, ‘Friday’, ‘Saturday’),
    dayOfWeek = weekday[objToday.getDay()],
    dayOfMonth = objToday.getDate(),
    months = new Array(‘January’, ‘February’, ‘March’, ‘April’, ‘May’, ‘June’, ‘July’, ‘August’, ‘September’, ‘October’, ‘November’, ‘December’),
    curMonth = months[objToday.getMonth()],
    curYear = objToday.getFullYear(),
    curHour = objToday.getHours() > 12 ? objToday.getHours() – 12 : (objToday.getHours() < 10 ? “0” + objToday.getHours() : objToday.getHours()),
    curMinute = objToday.getMinutes() < 10 ? “0” + objToday.getMinutes() : objToday.getMinutes(),
    curSeconds = objToday.getSeconds() < 10 ? “0” + objToday.getSeconds() : objToday.getSeconds(),
    curMeridiem = objToday.getHours() > 12 ? “PM” : “AM”;

    var today = dayOfWeek + “, ” + curMonth + ” ” + dayOfMonth + “, ” + curYear;

    jQuery(“#masthead .header-latest-posts.bn-title”).text(today);
    }
    put_current_date();
    </script>
