Changes to the blog appear delayed.

Hi, I have Runway installed and running but there is a problem with blog posts that appear a few hours after being created. The same happens to the edits. I hard reload my browser, checked that in other browsers and on my mobile phone with the same results. Any ideas?

Any security functions running on your web host? I've seen that on another site, GoDaddy I think, where they had initiated some type of anti-hacking security.

Could be a timezone thing? Your web server is likely running on UTC, so depending on the timezone of whoever created the post it might have published the post in the future according to the server, so it takes an hour or so for the post to match the UTC time

I recall having this issue in the past. I think Perch caches the blog.

You could try changing the PERCH_PRODUCTION_MODE in perch/config/config.php
PERCH_PRODUCTION caches, PERCH_STAGING and PERCH_DEVELOPMENT do not I believe.

That was actually the problem. Siteground has something called Dynamic Cache that had to be disabled via .htaccess. Thanks guys!
