So recently, someone here sent me a mail seeking assistance with his wordpress-managed website. He said he's been unable to notice his CSS changes while developing his themes to his taste.

According to him, he's done all the usual stuff. Emptied/cleared/purged his admin page caches and even his browser caches.

He contacted his web hosting provider and they cleared a varnish cache stuck somewhere en-route his server.

Still, a simple change such as background color still wasn't effective when he'd reload the site.

Well, he's not alone. When I first started web development, I experienced the exact same issue. Mine was so frustrating that I had to get a new domain.

However, a now-popular plugin is known to fix that issue and stop the caching problem.

Busted! is a plugin that forces the browser to load the most recent version of your CSS, stopping the caching issue. However, this doesn't mean you shouldn't regular your caches and keep it at all-time low.


ReBusted! is also an upgrade to Busted!, and you could install both if you want to. However, ReBusted! Won't work on all versions of WordPress.
