I have an issue with WordPress development that I’m sure is a relatively new occurence.
I am on Mac osx sierra 10.12.3. I’m using MAMP PRO 4.1.1. I’m on Chrome 58.0.3029.110 (64 bit).
If I make a change in code for example search.php. Then go back to the browser and refresh it, it often doens’t pick up the change, even with multiple refreshes. I have to wait for around 15 seconds for the change to be picked up.
I’ve tried:
- doing a hard refresh in chrome
- using cache killer plugin
- opening in a new tab
- different browser firefox
- WP_CACHE setting to false
In firefox, at first it seems I can make changes which will be picked up immediately until there is an error and then it gets caught on that and I have to wait a while until it picks up a change to fix the error.
However, overall I think the behaviour is the same, which is confusing. It makes me think there is some WordPress cache I don’t know about (I’m not using any caching plugin and cache is off).
Any idea as this is slowly down my development workflow.
UPDATE:
Might be something to do with https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19073270/stop-caching-for-php-5-5-3-in-mamp
