Caching Custom Template Files for Wordpress

[jayowl]

On my staging site, the old custom single page template files are being stored.

The quick patch was to create version numbers for the newly updated templates, appending the template name with a version.

Recreate:

1) Make changes to template.

2) The newly updated template files are being recognized by Wordpress on Godaddy from FTP and Wordpress wp-admin.

3) Updates are not being displayed from Template File on page url.

4) Patch: Change template file name and load in new template file.

Is there any alternatives or is this a bug being worked on?

Hi @jayowl, welcome to the community!

Can you explain a little further your issue?

It seems to me that you made a custom page.php file, and you want to keep different versions of the file?

I want these files to update without having to set a version for {single-page.php} template files. This was the only way I could update them to be displayed to the browser. Wordpress/GoDaddy was/is storing older versions and these older versions are being displayed, unless I change the name of the template. 

I'm wondering if its possible, or if it will be possible, to make changes to those files without having to update them with a version number?
