What is the issue you’re encountering

As a logged in author or admin, I can see my recent posts but as a user, I can’t see my latest post unless I purge cloudflare cache. Note that I’m using APO.

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

I have tried disabling the page cache turned on, in my website, it didn’t solve it. I t only stop if I pause cloudflare on my website or I purge cache. So, I have been purging cache everytime for my users to see my latest posts. It wasn’t like that before, even while I was using APO. I just re-ordered APO before I started getting the error. I only see my latest post as a user if I purge cloudflare cache for everything or better still, use ctrl f5, that’s hard refresh as a user to see my latest posts. I have also set the browser TTL to respect existing header but It doesn’t solve it.

Wonder if there’s some cache set as Browser Cache TTL to 4 hours or less to keep the cache? :thinking:

Is it only happening on the homepage or other pages as well?

Have you configured any settings related to the homepage in the APO?

I have no configuration done to the APO, just renew and turned on as usual. Don’t even know if it has to do with APO too. If I go to next page on my website, I still get old contents as a user or using incognito mode but as a logged in user, I see new contents. The incognito mode or let’s say users only see new contents when I purge everything on cloudflare.

Same for me as well. The problem started about two weeks ago. Never had issues before in 3 years. I checked if something change on my server, but it wasn’t. Purge Cloudflare cache did resolve it, but only for that moment. I don’t use APO. Something has changed on Cloudflare but don’t know what.

Truly, something has changed. I’ve tried every solution, it’s not working. It’s never happened before.

If only logged-in admins can see the latest posts while regular users can’t, Cloudflare’s caching is likely causing the issue.

Quick Fixes:

  1. Purge Cache – Go to Cloudflare Dashboard > Caching > Purge Everything to refresh content.
  2. Disable Cache for Logged-Out Users – Create a Page Rule to set Cache Level: Bypass for /category/* or /tag/*.
  3. Use Development Mode – Temporarily enable Development Mode in Cloudflare to see real-time changes.
  4. Check WordPress Caching Plugins – If using plugins like WP Rocket or W3 Total Cache, clear their cache as well.
  5. Disable Full Page Caching – If enabled, it may be serving outdated content to logged-out users.

After these steps, your latest posts should be visible to everyone! :rocket:

I face the same issue while working on my website Magis TV Para Celluar. I followed the same method and it worked for me.

Please which of the solutions in the list solved it for you. My category and tags might also need to cache.
