Woosage50 Website Cache Issues

Woosage50 Website Cache Issues

Woosage50 has a REST API that the Woosage50 Service uses to transfer data to and from the website via the Woosage50 plugin and it is important that the API is not cached by your website.

Websites can cache pages and other data at the server level or via a website plugin and the settings relating to APIs vary, so you may need to consult you web developer or hosting service.

If your cache has a specific Cache REST API setting or Cache WP REST API setting, then make sure it is not enabled (i.e. the API is not cached)

If there is no specific API setting, then it may be possible to prevent specific URLs from being cached. In which case, the Woosage50 API endpoints can be specified as follows.
https://[your-site-name]/wp-json/woosage/wildcard
Where:
[your-site-name] is the full domain name of your website including www, if included
[wildcard] is the wildcard character that your cache allows for all endpoints or sub-pages, which is usually *
For example, https://testsite.com/wp-json/woosage/* would be the URL to use to not cache any woosage endpoints on the testsite.com website
