I decided to add another page with CMS-based content for my tech wish list. It seems that after updating my local markdown files, then publishing them it works fine, but if I do a change on my local file then push another update to the server, files aren’t updated.

I did check on the server and files are updated… seems like a PHP caching issue.

Sounds like a server caching issue (not Elements CMS as we don’t yet cache things).

I’ve had this issue with Chillidog before, I think by default they have “NGINX Caching” switched on.

Log into the CPanel and switch this off, the option is on the sidebar on the right-hand side.
