PHPBB3 AND PAGE CACHE PROBLEM
I got an email from a client of mine about a phpbb3 forum that refused to update even though the changes had been made in the backend . Well believe me this might be a real pain for people who quickly wants to update their forums. Nothing can be so frustrating as trying to find out the roots , you may delete your browser cache etc but the problem would still be there .
Dont worry, here is the solution, it is simply a cache issue in your server, this problem is very inherent in phpbb3 forums. Now lets solve this,
Go to your Admin control panel in your forum
Click on the ‘general’ menu tab, look for for a ‘Purge Cache’ button around the center of the page, then click on ‘Run’ which takes you to a page where you would be asked if you want to confirm it, please confirm and afterwards, go back to index page and refresh the page, your changes should appear now.
Also it would be wise to clean your browser history so the page can be newly refreshed. this might not be necessary but you can try it after you have run the ‘purge cache’ in the ACP(admin control panel)
Hope it helps out.
Thanks.
