# Caching difference between dev and prod

 * The dev environment site has no problems getting the most recent Instagram post
   even without configuring the plugin to automatically clear the cache. However,
   the prod environment only gets the updated Instagram post if I manually clear
   the cache. I’ve configured the prod environment to automatically clear the cache,
   but that doesn’t seem to work.
 * There is an infrastructural difference between our dev and prod environments.
   The prod server is behind an Apache httpd reverse proxy server.
   I did a moderate
   review of the Apache httpd 2.4 documentation, and I’m pretty convinced that the
   reverse proxy is obeying / passing through whatever headers it receives from 
   production server (also Apache httpd v 2.4)
 * The documentation also seemed to say that the reverse proxy should not change
   any of the headers having to do with caching, so am fairly sure the reverse proxy
   is just passing whatever headers from the production server to the client.
 * I also did not see any documentation within mod_proxy, etc., to selectively override
   and caching headers.
 * I still don’t think it is the reverse proxy in front of the prod server given
   that other content that has been updated immediately shows up, but wanted to 
   mention the fact that another difference between Prod and Dev is the proxy.
 * All of this said, is there a reason why the Instagram feed would pull the new
   IG posts for dev without needing a manual cache clear, but for prod, I have to
   manually clear the cache?

 * Hi [@saperemarketing](https://wordpress.org/support/users/saperemarketing/),
 * Thanks for pointing this out to us. Much appreciated.
 *  On your prod environment site, in your WordPress dashboard, return to the FT
   Social > Feed you have just created (_or the feed with the issue_), click the
   blue support beacon at the bottom right, then click “Ask” (on the top right) 
   and fill out the rest of the support ticket. This procedure will send us any/
   all of the feed info for us to be able to help debug your issue.
 * Thanks for using SlickRemix plugins!

 * Hi [@saperemarketing](https://wordpress.org/support/users/saperemarketing/),
 * We have just issued an update to FTS version 4.1.0. Please update the plugin,
   as our developers have resolved many bug fixes & issues.
 * For the issue between your two servers, please ensure that the latest updated
   FTS version is installed and active on both, and try again. If you are still 
   running into issues, maybe you are able to locate and see what the differences
   between your dev & prod servers are, as there are likely some differences that
   have one working and the other not working. A common issue we will see, is that
   sometimes another plugin or theme may be in conflict. To test this, you can temporarily
   deactivate all plugins except for the FTS plugin. Then test to see if it’s working.
   If it is, then reactivate each plugin, one by one, to see which one is in conflict.
 * Again, if the issue remains after updating the plugin, please follow the previously
   mentioned support beacon instructions from the FTS feed on the non-working server.
 * Cheers,
 * The SlickRemix Team
