How Do I Clear My Cache?
Clear Site Cache
NOTE: DO NOT CLEAR YOUR SITE'S CACHE DURING REGULAR BUSINESS HOURS. This could cause a timeout that could affect both your site and other GSU sites.
After making changes to your site, clear the site cache to ensure that your users can immediately view the changes made to the page on mobile devices. Each page will be cached the first time it is visited. We recommend you consider the timing when you do this. It will take a moment and may affect performance while the cache is rebuilt.
1. Begin by logging into your website's WordPress dashboard. The address to log in to the WordPress site is usually: http://thisismyaddress.gsu.edu/wp-admin.
2. Enter your username and password.
3. Now that you are logged into the website, navigate to the page where you need to make a change and make the necessary update. Now, look at the top black bar on your website. This is part of your dashboard. On this top bar, you can control some of the features of your website. To begin clearing your page cache, please hover over the word "Hummingbird".
4. In this tab, you have the option to Clear Page Cache. This option clears the page's cache.
If you've made a change to a template or the menu of your site that affects multiple pages, you will need to go to the left-hand black bar and select Hummingbird Pro > Caching.
On the page that appears, click on the button that says "CLEAR CACHE." This will clear the entire site's cache.
