# Disable Cache

 * Is it possible to disable cache in the amr ical events lists plugin? I’ve tried
   adding `?nocache=true` and `&nocache=true` to the urls I’m pulling ics files 
   from and the list still doesn’t refresh. I’d be fine with just disabling cache
   for the entire plugin if that is possible. Any help you can offer would be great.
   Here is the current shortcode being used on the page.
 * `[iCal https://wesleywillows.org/calendar/category/peterson-meadows/?ical=1&tribe_display
   =custom&nocache=true https://wesleywillows.org/calendar/category/wesley-willows-
   castle-town-center/?ical=1&tribe_display=custom&nocache=true https://wesleywillows.
   org/calendar/category/wesley-willows-fitness/?ical=1&tribe_display=custom&nocache
   =true https://wesleywillows.org/calendar/category/willows-arbor/?ical=1&tribe_display
   =custom&nocache=true listtype=12 grouping=day show_month_nav=1 calendar_properties
   =0 months=1 events=400 pagination=0]`

 * Looking at my notes [https://icalevents.com/support/documentation/shortcodes/#parameters](https://icalevents.com/support/documentation/shortcodes/#parameters),
   It says those only work in ics=url in a query url for testing purposes. Don’t
   remember why.
 *  In beginning there were problems with remotes sites ics fetches timing out, 
   so the plugin always makes a local copy when it fetches the ics file, so it at
   least has the most recent successful fetch to work with.

   One can also set the cache period lower. Honestly I can’t remember if one can
   set it to 0 hrs. Or whether 0.1hrs – I’m not at my desk right now, you could 
   try.
 * If you need to maintain events more real-time than that , consider using amr-
   events rather.
 * Note that also when plugin First started, some external ics providers did not
   update the ics real-time. So even when one has updated an event and ‘refreshed’
   it was not in the file. Haven’t heard that lately, but good idea to actually 
   download and open in a text editor to check whether newest event is there.

 * I’m just running the amr ical events lists plugin right now, not the full blown
   amr-events plugin. I didn’t see where to set the cache period like you have outlined
   in the mentioned articles. Do I need the premium amr-events plugin in order to
   see that option? Also I did check the file in the url to make sure the recently
   published events exist in the feed.
    Thanks, Aaron

 * It’s per littype
 * See settings in menu: ical-events-list > listypes > configure a listype
    click
   on ‘maximums’ – see the field labelled ‘cache’ as per [https://icalevents.com/1814-refresh-calendar-if-new-dates-not-showing/](https://icalevents.com/1814-refresh-calendar-if-new-dates-not-showing/)
