Refresh Data on Page

We’ve run into an issue with a schedule we create via ACF. The schedule is updated and saves fine in WP.

It also shows fine on the schedules page but only if you haven’t already been to the page(browser’s cache shows otherwise) or hit refresh on the page.

It’s weird though. I have a custom link in the WP Menu with the full URL for the page, yet it still shows the cached page.

I’m not sure if there is a way within a page to update the ACF data every few minutes without refreshing the page. Is that possible?

Hi @lcg_1111

I’ve just checked your website, and it looks great on my end. I refreshed several times, and the schedules were showing up. Could you please share some screenshots of the issue?

If you want to refresh the data without refreshing the page, you need to use AJAX. This page should give you more idea about it: https://codex.wordpress.org/AJAX_in_Plugins.

I hope this helps. Thanks!

We are narrowing the issue down. This will be a last ditch effort to alleviate the problem.

The issue is that browsers are caching the page. So instead of showing an updated page, it shows an old schedule. Google Chrome is the biggest culprit. Still working around it’s issues.

Maybe something is up with my template for this page.

<?php
/**
 * Template Name: Schedule Page
 *
 */
get_header();

$is_page_builder_used = et_pb_is_pagebuilder_used( get_the_ID() );

?>

<div id="main-content">

<?php if ( ! $is_page_builder_used ) : ?>

Hi @lcg_1111

Maybe you have a cache plugin or your server uses a cache feature. If you have a cache plugin, could you please clear the cache and deactivate it for awhile? If you don’t have, could you ask your server if they have a cache feature?

I hope this helps. Thanks!
