I’m using WordPress to build out a blog for a new endeavor, and couldn’t figure out why I had to go through a rather unwieldy refresh process (disabling a template and then enabling it anew) every time I changed it from within the WordPress administration interface. As it turns out WordPress has a built-in caching mechanism called WP-Cache. You can disable it by navigating to Options > WP-Cache and clicking the “Disable It” button. From now on, changes will immediately appear upon clicking the browser’s refresh button.

Of course, once you’ve deployed the blog, be sure to re-enable WP-Cache.
