I am currently working on a WordPress powered ecommerce website, where the chosen shopping platform is WooCommerce.
Is there a way, without using a Plugin, which will allow me to prevent browsers from Caching certain php files? In this instance, the 'header.php' and 'cart.php' files? My assumption would be, that some tinkering to the '.htacess' file would be required but then I could be wrong.
Not familiar with woocommerce, but generally you should just be able to add the following to the php files:
header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0"); header("Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0", false); header("Pragma: no-cache"); 
<?php [Code Here] ?> but still to no success.I found out the issue. I completely overlooked/forgot, I had the below Caching Code in the .htaccess file. School Boy error!
Once I removed the below code, the Basket Caching Problem was resolved.
## EXPIRES CACHING ## <IfModule mod_expires.c> ExpiresActive On ExpiresByType image/jpg "access plus 1 year" ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 1 year" ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 1 year" ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 1 year" ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 1 month" ExpiresByType application/pdf "access plus 1 month" ExpiresByType text/x-javascript "access plus 1 month" ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash "access plus 1 month" ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access plus 1 year" ExpiresDefault "access plus 2 days" </IfModule> ## EXPIRES CACHING ## Should I discover a way to cache a website, without the Basket being Cached, I will add it to this answer.
