Disable cache on class-listings.php

[paperboy]

Hello, I have the listing component in the main page which shows new added listings by date, but I notice that class-listings-php file loads the listings in cache and not the real time new listings.

I have comment the following code in order to work better:

// Get cached IDs.
				$listing_ids = null;

				if ( 'random' !== $this->order ) {
					$listing_ids = hivepress()->cache->get_cache( array_merge( $query->get_args(), [ 'fields' => 'ids' ] ), 'models/listing' );

					if ( is_array( $listing_ids ) ) {
						$query = Models\Listing::query()->filter(
							[
								'status' => 'publish',
								'id__in' => $listing_ids,
							]
						)->order( 'id__in' )
						->limit( count( $listing_ids ) );
					}
				}

Is there any way to disable it by a filter to avoid code changes? How much is the time configured in the cache for this query?

Thanks and best regards!

Hi,

If you mean the UI block settings, we recommend leaving the cache, because the cache is updated only after the listing is updated or a new listing is created, in all other options the cache is not updated. If this does not work correctly for you, try re-saving the listing. Also, if the last recommendation did not help, I recommend disabling all third-party plugins and caching, or contacting your hosting provider, as there may be caching on their side.

Hi Andrii,

Thank you for your response.

Following your recommendations, I have identified the problem. The issue was caused by a snippet of code that updates the listing date upon user request.

I resolved the problem by clearing the cache after updating the dates with the following code in the snippet:

hivepress()->cache->delete_cache( null , 'models/listing');

By this way I leave the class-listings.php file without any modification.

Do you think this is a good solution? I have tried to use delete_post_cache in order to clear only the affected listing, but I don’t have found enough documentation to understand the functions parameters. I have only the listing id and this call doesn’t work:

hivepress()->cache->delete_post_cache( $listing_id , 'models/listing');

Thanks and best regards,

Hi,

Please note that the listing cache is cleared after the listing is updated or created. It all depends on where exactly you added this delete_cache; if it is an infrequent action, then there shouldn’t be an issue.

Thanks Andrii,

It is an infrequent and controlled action. It works fine for me.

Thanks again and very best regards!
