 * Hi
    When I use Elementor I always need to deactivate your plugin in order to 
   have the changes updated on the site.
 * Is this something you are working on to fix or can tell me what I am doing wrong?
 * Elementor has said that you guys are more than welcome to create a ticket at 
   there end if there is something that prevent you from clearing the cache when
   Elementor saves.

 * Hi,
 * FVM is a speed optimization plugin, merging the css and js files together. It
   is not aware of when you save stuff on elementor, or when you are doing development
   and editing css and js files via sftp or via some other methods.
 * It’s standard procedure to disable minification and any other cache plugins, 
   including cloudflare and cdn services, while editing css/js files, or making 
   design changes.
 * For small changes in design and content, you don’t need to disable the plugin
   or server cache, but you still need to purge it after you are done with all the
   changes, manually. Even if some plugins do this automatically, you should still
   do it manually as you can never be 100% sure that they actually purged the cache
   all the time.
 * Cache and minification is to be deployed on the final product, not during development.
   
   New content doesn’t usually apply to this, as it’s also new to the cache and 
   minification plugins.
 * It’s also not all the time that you need to purge caches when using elementor.
   It depends on what you are doing. If you are editing css and js files, then you
   must always purge the cache on FVM for it to restart the optimization again with
   your new changes.
 * Also if you use any sort of cache, either a plugin, on the server side, or a 
   cdn, that also needs to be purged every single time you save different css, js
   or new design in a page. That’s how the workflow works for design and development,
   for sites in production.
 * In staging, you would be running a copy of your site without any cache and without
   any optimizations. Optimization, is only after you are done and are going to 
   deploy the code live.
 * I’ll take a look at elementor sometime later and see if I can set an automatic
   trigger, but in most cases, you should still do it manually (there is a cache
   purge button for that).
