What this means is that the system does server-side caching of the site content, only giving you the latest version if you edit a post or if 3600 seconds (one hour!) elapse since the last time that page was refreshed.  This probably works fine for individual posts, but it doesn&#8217;t work at all if you edit the theme\/framework files&#8230; which aren&#8217;t tracked in the same way.  (I spent a good deal of time this evening tweaking the site to add the sidebar content (at left) that shows the last few books I read, and I was mystified as to why my changes weren&#8217;t showing up.)<\/p>\n<p>So here&#8217;s my solution:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nDeactivate the caching while I&#8217;m editing, then turn it back on when I&#8217;m done.  Because caching is good, since it helps the pages load faster for visitors like you, gentle reader.  When it&#8217;s on, I have it set down to 5 minutes before the cache expires and it will reload the latest version.  If you experience any problems with this, let me know in a comment.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A word to the wise: WordPress (the software that manages all of the content you see herein) comes with a plugin (wp-cache) that&#8217;s activated by default.
