CSS Cache Buster Plugin Displays Latest Changes Of CSS stylesheet

Jack — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 19:02:44 +0000

Something that bothers me often while using WordPress caching plugins is I can’t see the actual appearance of my site after making several changes to my CSS file. I need to wait a period of time to see the latest interface, sometimes a whole day! That’s truly unacceptable, that’s why I was forced to use proxy sites to get the latest version of my CSS Stylesheet.

Luckily while browsing around on WP Plugin Directory I found CSS Cache Buster plugin that exactly caters my need, I red the written description inside the plugin page & I found these lines:

CSS Cache Buster does one very simple but very powerful thing: it ensures that your WordPress blog delivers the very latest version of your CSS stylesheet to your visitors, no matter how often or how rarely your edit for CSS.

Aha! This is what I need, without thinking too much I clicked on the download link – downloaded it – activated it. Then I headed to my Stylesheet.css editor & made test changes there – updated the file – opened my homepage, yes! The plugin does work as its promise.

So, if you are having the same problem as I had, you can use CSS Cache Buster plugin by Alister Cameron.
