[Plugin: WP Super Cache] Category page is not updated when new Post is added

Follow up info…

Some More Info: I see on my Advanced tab:

Expiry Time & Garbage Collection

Current server time is: 2012-04-25 18:23:40

Warning! PRELOAD MODE activated. Supercache files will not be deleted regardless of age.

On the Preload tab, currently I have Preload All, set and Refresh preloaded cache files every minutes, is set to 0.

The reason I’ve set this to 0, is because I believed Category pages would be updated, if a new post was added to the Category. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Thanks for any help,
Rich

Unfortunately you’ll have to enable the option that clears out all cache files. The plugin doesn’t yet delete archive pages. I wish it did but I don’t have time to add that feature. Maybe someone will submit a patch doing just that…

HI Donncha, thanks for the reply.

So, in order to mitigate this issue, I’ve put on the preload panel…

Refresh preloaded cache files every set to 720 minutes.

and Preload all posts.

I believe, my cached pages, should never bee older than 720 minutes then?

I’m still having issues, with the category and index 2, index 3, etc. pages. When I view source, they are showing:

<!– Cached page generated by WP-Super-Cache on 2012-05-09 12:12:50 –>

Today is 5-15-2012. My pages are outdated, and content that has been pushed off the home page, are no longer showing up anywhere, as the pages, have not been re-generated for 6 days.

How do I fix this?

Some more info, on the Advanced tab, I have Cache timeout set to 3600.
Scheduler set to Clock 00:00
Interval hourly.

Also, I’m showing the warning below. Can you tell me what a Supercache file is? Should I turn off preload mode? Is this the issue?

Thanks for any help.

Warning! PRELOAD MODE activated. Supercache files will not be deleted regardless of age.

I’m still trying to figure this out. I have 5 sites and they are all having problems with cached category and index pages not being re-generated.

All of them have 3600 seconds as the cache timeout, and most of them had the garbage collection set to clock 00:00, hourly (1 was set to timer 3600). I believe, my issue is with the cache timeout. It is not properly throwing out cached category and index pages, correct? I guess I don’t have to fiddle with the garbage collection settings, as that is not my main issue (that I know of).

I do not think this is related to preloading, as Preloading, only caches individual post and pages, correct?

I tried turning on debugging, but didn’t see anything relevant. I then changed the gc timer to 10 seconds, and kept checking the debug log, but never saw anything. If I change the cache timeout to 60 secs from its current 3600, and then revisit a category page, it finally regenerates it (It was last generate 4-27-2012). I then put back the cache timeout to 3600 and the timer back to 3600 (I guess).

I’m hoping by updating these options, I’ll jiggle something to cause everything to update properly…

I’m at a loss on how to get this to work correctly.

Thanks,
Rich

Have you tried disabling the preload completely?

Yes, I disabled it on a few of them as a test. I just checked, and I’m still seeing a cached category page, that says

<!-- Dynamic page generated in 0.243 seconds. -->
<!-- Cached page generated by WP-Super-Cache on 2012-05-15 15:39:40 -->
<!-- Compression = gzip -->

My cache timeout is set to 3600 seconds, so I would assume this should have already been regenerated…

Scheduler is set to Clock 00:00, if that matters.

At this rate, I’m going to have to manually delete the cache every day, on all my sites, in order to have up-to-date category and index pages…

Please help.

Thanks,
Rich
