Caching problems with mini-cart.php in Header Cart Off Canvas widget

Support
#1

Hello,

I’m running Pro on a local dev site. I’ve been fairly aggressive in making customizations to both the functions.php / style.css files as well as the Woocommerce templates. And I’ve never had any problems with making these changes until I turned to making edits to the header. And now everything has gone to hell.

Basically, I am trying to make edits to the “cart off canvas” pop-out tool, via the mini-cart.php file. And I am having problems with getting any of my browsers to recognize these changes. I’ve ruled out it being the wrong file as some times the changes I make are recognized. I’ve also basically ruled out in being a browser caching issue as I’ve tried to empty the cache, run in private mode, run in GoogleDev mode with cache disabled, done hard reloads with emptying the cache, etc. Sometimes, these things will result in the changes to the mini-cart.php being loaded; other times there will be no changes at all. I also tried to install caching plugins to empty out the Wordpress cache and that doesn’t seem to have had any effect either.

Interestingly enough, I seem to be able to still change my CSS file without any problems. The browsers will recognize these changes. So it seems whatever this caching issue is is more related to the “cart off canvas” widget or the mini-cart.php file.

Are you able to provide any suggestions as to what I can do to get my browsers to recognize these changes?

Hello There,

I have investigated the issue and I found out that WooCommerce AJAX cart is using fragment cart js. This is mostly likely the same as caching but needs to be disabled or refreshed so that any of your changes will take place.

Please check out this links regarding fragment cart js and on how you can disable it:



Hope this helps.

You know there are days when I think I might know enough coding to handle things on my own. And then I hear about “fragragment cart js” and I think “nope, not even close”.

Anyway, thanks very much. I will research this and see if it resolves it. :smiley:
