This doesn’t work with my cache

Hi @philgreen

Most server-side caching works by storing a rendered version of the page in the server’s RAM, so that means that the WordPress database won’t be queried and thus the Maintenance Redirect code won’t be run.

I’m not a Siteground customer, so can’t check this personally, but if you look at this page: https://www.siteground.co.uk/tutorials/supercacher/dynamic-cache/ you’ll see that’s confirmed how it works. There’s a link on that page on how to manage their cache: https://www.siteground.com/tutorials/wordpress/sg-optimizer/supercacher/ and I suggest you study that to see how you can turn off their caching while you’re developing your site.

Hope that helps

Peter

Thanks for getting back so soon. I turned it off. Thanks! I was hoping there was some trick like excluding a cookie from the cache.
