Problem with caching, W3TC [closed]

Question

Am using W3TC from a long time but from past few weeks am stuck, as I can't see my edits working. It was all fine in past but from a week my edits in style.css reflects back in like an hour after.

Answer 1

The best way I can think of is to add a unique string to the end of the stylesheet include to get everything to update.

For example, if you are including it in the header.php file:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo get_stylesheet_uri(); ?><?php echo '?v='. time(); ?>" />

Of course that will keep it from being cached... ever. So you might want to turn it off and on. You could add a variable to activate it or you could tie it to wp_debug:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo get_stylesheet_uri(); ?><?php if ( defined('WP_DEBUG') && ! WP_DEBUG ) echo '?v='. time(); ?>" />

Or just comment it out when you are done:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo get_stylesheet_uri(); ?><?php #echo '?v='. time(); ?>" />

You can use all of those if you are enqueueing the styles as well.
