Updating THATCamp Setup date does not alter displayed date on home page #45

Closed amandafrench closed 11 years ago

amandafrench commented 11 years ago

I find this baffling because changing the THATCamp Setup date on the dev server does cause the date to change on the home page, whereas it doesn't on the production site, even though the files mu-plugins/thatcamp-setup-admin-page.php thatcamp-group-blogs.php and the whole theme (thatcampdev on the dev site, thatcamp-karma [newly renamed] on production are identical. Keep thinking it must be a caching problem, but I've emptied every cache I can find and it doesn't help.

I can't reproduce this. I was able to change dates of THATCamps and the changes were reflected on the front page. Can you give more details please?

Sorry, should have given you an example. This is the case for (at least) two THATCamps: THATCamp Ghent 2013 (whose date is set to 5/28 in Setup but displays as 5/27 on the home page), and THATCamp CHNM 2013, whose date is set to 6/7 in Setup but appears as 6/6 on the home page. I even got someone else to visit thatcamp.org to confirm that it's not a caching issue on my machine: they too saw the wrong dates. I also logged in as 'testing' user to make sure that another user saw the date in Setup the same way I do. Again, I can't reproduce it on the dev server, either: only on production.

Note that for both of the above examples, the displayed date is the date that was originally set: it's changing the date that doesn't seem to stick.

boonebgorges commented 11 years ago

OK, this should be fixed now.

There are a number of factors combining to cause the issue:

Give it a test and see if it's behaving as expected. (And don't forget to clear the WP Super Cache cache between tests.)

Awesome, thanks! Dammit, I knew it was a caching issue. Will remember to clear that Super Cache when testing from now on. FYI, the site is still in maintenance mode, so I can't test. Unless that's cached too.

amandafrench commented 11 years ago

Although now that I think of it I did clear the WP Super Cache last night when testing this, but that was just before all of my admin screens went white. At which point my priorities changed, and shortly after which I thought with longing of those idyllic days when I used to explain iambs and trochees to undergrads.

All seems well. Return to your regularly scheduled bliss.

You haven't seen my inbox this morning.
