Hi @kimarkf01

GamiPress blocks, shortcodes and widgets always try to display the most up to date information, for what you describe, yes, the issue come from a cache plugin for sure

We don’t know which options includes your cache plugin, but for sure there are options to whitelists pages where dynamic information is placed

Anyway, the best who can guide you on this are the plugin authors that for sure will be more than happy to assist you

Best regards

Hi,

I’m having the same problem and I’m pretty sure that it is a browser cache issue rather than a caching plugin problem. I tried disabling my caching plugins / CDN, etc. and the problem remained unless I did a hard refresh in browser.

I managed to get around this problem by creating my own shortcodes to call some Gamipress functions and then installing WP Super Cache and the Xoogu Dynamic Shortcodes plugin in order for WP Super Cache to force the shortcodes to remain dynamic. However, this plugin does not seem to be compatible with native Gamipress shortcodes…

I was wondering if there was a way to programatically force a browser cache reset when a user visits a page (I have tried setting expire headers to 0, etc. and this does not solve the problem). Or is there another way to force a shortcode to behave dynamically?

Thanks for any input.

That is exactly what I mean, maybe its the browsers cache not the cache plugin.

Hi @freebetc and @kimarkf01

Browser cache only stores images, CSS files and Javascript files, they commonly doesn’t store your website content since the main goal of any website is become dynamic

GamiPress shortcodes are designed to display the latest information, without exception, so the unique things that could cache the GamiPress shortcodes info are or a cache plugin or a server cache

I’m sorry but on this there is nothing I can perform here because, through the plugin code, I can change another plugin cache behaviour or your server cache

Try to disable all cache plugins (optimization plugins too) and contact to your hosting provider to meet if there is any cache functionality enabled

Thanks for your reply,

It turns out that you were absolutely right. The problem was coming from a plugin conflict from a plugin called Clearfy. I haven’t narrowed down exactly the option in the plugin that was causing the conflict but deactivating the plugin solved the problem.

Hi @freebetc

Well, exactly this is not a plugin conflict, just that this plugin you mention probably stores a static copy of your pages, causing this delay on get the points updated

Anyway, I’m glad to see you finally found who is caching the GamiPress shortcodes

Best regards
