Caching vs Latest Images

Same settings here:

Cache Timeout: 604800
Garbage Collection: Once Daily

I installed WP Super Cache two days ago and strange enough: When I uploaded two images this morning I could see them immediately after I published them within the Latest Images widget. So my problems are opposed to yours Redneck, but I also fear that something is wrong with my settings.

The Latest Images widget did not change images shown since I’ve installed WP Super Cache (about 3 days ago).
Is that normal? Shouldn’t the garbage collection interval determine how often the Latest Images widget should reflect changes?

Yep! Thats perfect.

Your related images won’t change until a given image in cache expires (1 week)

Actually because I haven’t been uploading for over a year (being on Symbiostock all the time) I set my expiration to 9999999999999

That way the whole site is permanently cached and my server works less hard (allowing the forums and such to stay unimpeded)

You could do similarly.

For instance, if you upload once a week, then simply have your cache set to NEVER expire, but once you upload, then regenerate the whole cache, allowing similars to update.

This is a bunch of ideas of course…don’t use them if they are too much work. What you have now is great.

Leo, do you have an idea what might be wrong with my settings … my latest images were updated immediately after I published new images 😕

Send me an admin — I’ll check it out.

I changed a few things. I did it so fast I don’t remember what it was. I also preloaded your cache.

For many I’d suggest just setting your cache expiration to some obnoxiously high number, then regenerating it whenever you want to do a significant upload/update.
