Hi i have a serious problem with my website http://www.in2town.co.uk which i am hoping someone will be able to solve.

Each time i add new content to my site i have to clear the cache in the admin area of my site and then i have to clear the cache on my computer to see new content. this is not great for me or the visitors to my site who will keep seeing old content until they refresh their cache, can anyone help me with this problem please.

Hi

Try going to Global Configuration area, select the System tab, and in the Cache Settings field off to the right, you'll notice a drop down menu that will enable you to turn the Cache to off.

Be sure to save.

Cheers

It is exactly how cache works, Joomla cache plugin is not so smart to refresh cache when new content is added, page is reload only when the cache time expire. Please also cache settings in your browser, I've notice that chrome usually store cache extremely long so the best option is run CTRL+R (CMD+R) to reload page.

hi, i really have a serious problem with this. i have lots of sites which are fine but this site is giving me a lot of trouble. i am getting people say to me that they need to refresh their brower and clear their cach to see new content. this is costing me traffic. i tested it out myself from different computers that are not near my location and i have to clear the cache to see new content

any help would be great

Your system cache is surely disabled ? Maybe you mysql database has some cache issue, the easiest way to check this is create a copy of your site in localhost.
