How Do I Clear My Cache?
Clear Site Cache
After making changes to your site, you should clear the page cache to ensure changes made to the page can be immediately viewed by your users. Each page will be recached the first time anyone visits the page. We recommend you consider the timing when you do this. It will take a moment and may affect performance while 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 you are logged into the website, go to the page that you need to make a change to and make the change. Now, look at the top black bar on your web site. 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 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 black bar on your left 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.
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.
