Wordpress Genesis Caching Issues

Hi All,

Can anyone help with this one..?

I've been making some updates to a Wordpress site. The site uses the Genesis framework and whenever I try to upload new images, I can see them, but they never update when the client views them.

The issue is mainly in Safari, but the client says they are getting the same result in Chrome.

I've tried a couple of Wordpress Cache plugins to try to resolve, so far no joy. Is there anyone else who has encountered anything like this?

Cheers, Jake

Do you have the cache plugin set to automatically clear the cache whenever a page or post is updated?

Thanks Colin.

In the end I discovered that this was a database issue with the site I was working on. Normally I just define the site url in the wp-config.php file, that is usually enough to update the urls to images to to live site.

However in this case it didn't work. So I ended up editing the database sql file in TextEdit, doing a find and replace of the site url before updating the live version of the database.

If anyone else has encountered this using the Genesis framework for Wordpress, please let me know.

Many thanks, Jake
