# [Plugin: WP Super Cache] Cache Doesn't Refresh Automatically?

 * This is the problem I had been facing a few days back, when I had to uninstall
   super cache. Yesterday, I decided to give it another shot and reinstalled it.
   But the problem remains the same.
 * Here’s the issue – the cache/expired files don’t get deleted even after an hour.
   It’s like I publish a post on the blog, and check it on other browsers and the
   post won’t appear even if I clear the browser cache. I have to manually clear
   the cache in WP super cache settings and only then can I see the post on a different
   browser ( that is, the browser where I am not logged in to WP)
 * Can someone enlighten me on how this works and around when should the cache refresh
   automatically? The expired time set in my super cache is the default: 3600 seconds.

 * Something’s not working right. You could try enabling the debug system and see
   why the plugin isn’t refreshing. It’s supposed to.

 * I am not sure if I would be able to understand the debug emails. I have zero 
   coding knowledge. Would you recommend selecting “Check front page every 5 minutes”
   option? or anything else may be?

 * No, you’ll have to go down the debugging route. Have it log to a file though 
   as it may send you lots of emails!

 * Btw, Clear all cache files when a post or page is published in advanced isn’t
   checked. Could that be the reason?

 * Nope, making a post should clear the homepage by default.
