Cache me if you can

February 27, 2007 in Wordpress | No comments

It’s ironic that the second post on this blog is about fixing the software the blog is running on. Oh well, such is software. When I first set up this site, I wanted to make it as performance-friendly as possible, so I set up the Wordpress WP-Cache plugin. Everything seemed to work fine. However, I wasn’t quite finished messing with some other plugins, and I ran into issues with cached versions of pages not reflecting tweaks I was making in some of the core files.

Not a problem, says I…



I’ll just deactivate the WP-Cache plugin until I’m finished developing. As it turns out, that doesn’t work. Once you activate (on the plugins page) and enable (on the WP-Cache settings page) the WP-Cache plugin, to turn it off, you have to disable it (on the WP-Cache settings page). Deactivating the plugin does not disable caching.
