How to Clear your Cache

If you've ever tried to make edits to a page or make adjustments in the customizer and you're not seeing those changes reflected on your live site, chances are your cache just needs cleared/purged.

Clearing the cache can also help with issues related to the Customizer page or loading issues with Block Collections.

Caching can happen in a couple of different places. I'll walk you through the most common areas to check and clear:

Clear Browser Cache

Start with your browser. Clear your cache and cookies, then refresh your site to see if your changes appear.

Chrome: Go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Clear browsing data

Firefox: Go to History > Clear Recent History > Clear "Temporary cached files and pages"

Safari: Go to History > Clear History

Safari (iPhone): Go to Settings > Safari > Clear history and website data

Clear Plugin Cache

If you're using a caching or optimization plugin, it may be holding on to old files.

Go to Plugins in your WordPress dashboard and look for any plugin with "cache" or "optimization" in the name or description.

Find this plugin's settings and click "Clear Cache" (or "Purge Cache"). Usually you can find this button in your WordPress admin bar at the top of the screen.

Test in a Private/Incognito Window

You can also rule out any cache issues by testing your issue on a private/incognito window which runs a fresh session without existing cookies or stored data.
