Hello
I made some changes to the template on a test area.
When I move the files to the domain that interests me, my changes are not fully visible.
I deleted cahce joomla but the same.
I'm interested in this so that people who have already accessed my site in the past can see the changes without them having to delete their browser history (they wouldn't know this is needed).

Can help with a solution ???

it seems we didn't get along.
if or link site you do not see any error, because there is no error .. simply if i do not delete the browser history i do not see the changes.
For example: I made visible on my mobile 2 products in a row, not one as it was ..
If the history is not deleted from the browser, everything is displayed as it was before.

AH

Well you are definitely not on VM4.2 as the latest version is - 3.8.2...

Your Joomla is way out of date 3.9.18

so -- your on VM3.4.2 - latest is 3.8.0

anyway .. I always install the free  Regular Labs - Cache Cleaner -- and set it to auto clear on every save

That should be enough unless you are using some sort of server caching like Cloudflare etc?
In this case u have to manually clear it from your cPanel

OK thanks
I do not use anything special, so I will try the recommended method

Now I no longer use the Joomla cache for the eshop, but I use quality hosting (dedicated servers with high performance) and I optimize the e-shops (I fix developer errors or implement various fixes).

We used to use a cache, we even programmed our own extension (in the jotcache system), which dynamically changed in real time the dynamic information (price, number of pieces in stock) that was added to the page when displayed.
It was never 100%.

As GJC wrote, I still install and use Regular Labs - Cache Cleaner in the PRO version on all websites.

You can see the eshop in version 3.4.2 here:

I see the problems here as you describe.

I do not use server-level Cloudflare.
I deleted cahce from joomla, I deleted cache with Cache Cleaner. Whatever I do if I don't clear my browser cache it doesn't work. my site is deregulated.

When installing CacheCleaner I had the following warning:
Fixes issue with Cloudflare Purge Cache button in Cache Cleaner system plugin settings not working when API Key method is selected
# Fixes issue with Cloudflare zone not being found when zone field is left empty (should use current domain).

I don't know, or I don't quite understand what should be done here
Could that be the problem?

This is becoming an extended guessing game.

Please post a live url

live url for you who did not access my previous site will have no effect (for you at the first access everything will be ok)

Does this old "standard" method work for you? Add to the template header.


<meta http-equiv='cache-control' content='no-cache'>
<meta http-equiv='expires' content='0'>
<meta http-equiv='pragma' content='no-cache'>

that just looks like a warning from the latest version

have you searched in Joomla plugins for the string "cache" to check that there is nothing enabled ?
