Hi @kennypierce
Raindrops Theme does not change the preview of the edit page
You are using WP-Super-Cache
Screenshot of your site

This is displayed when accessing with a very old browser such as IE8.
This is a theme-designed display, but I am not accessing with IE8.
This is because the cache was created unfortunately when IE 8 was accessed, so all the browsers are displaying IE8 cache.
In case of access of IE 8 or less it is advisable to perform processing that does not update the cache.
Please check whether the cache plug-in affects the preview display.
Thank you
Hey sorry for delay in replies, holiday time. Okay so more on this.
I am using the latest version of Firefox and MS Edge. I do NOT use IE for any browsing and seldom even open the browser.
I didn’t see anything in the Super Cache plugin that controlled the visual and for a testing measurement I disabled the plugin and tried again to do a “preview” of an in progress post. The same result happened and it opened up the latest live post to the website but with the “preview” notation above in the URL line.
I then switched themes to the 2015 WP Theme with the super cache plugin activated once again. This allowed me to see the preview of the post I was drafting. A return to my Raindrops theme found the same issue manifesting.
I am really confused as to what is going on here. Thanks for the insight.
Do you say that normal display will not be done when you press the preview button?
The theme does not do anything special, such as redirecting when displaying the preview page
I’m tested with
firefox 57.0.4 (64 bit)
WP Super Cache 1.5.9
The preview page was displayed correctly for me.
Since I do not use the super cache plugin on a daily basis, I do not know the setting method etc. well
Preview page URL is using GET query like below
https://www.example.com/wp/?p=[post_id]&preview=true
Looking at the option item, for example
Advanced / Miscellaneous
Don’t cache pages with GET parameters. (?x=y at the end of a url)
By default, it is not checked here
This seems to indicate that GET queried URLs may be cached as well.
Please check this item, remove the cache and see how it is going.
In general, I think that cache should not be used for GET queried URL used in WordPress management screen etc.
Thank you
Hello, thank you for this, I tried the change you advised but it doesn’t do anything. Please bear in mind, this plug in you reference was always at the default recommended settings. It always worked in the past with no issue and I keep the backend on the site as simple as possible.
My hosting tested this and found the same result but when they changed my theme to something else with the same plugins they got the preview of an in progress post with no issue. There is something amiss with the theme as the Search Feature only brings up the homepage active post when a criteria is placed to be searched.
Thanks for the help on this but I don’t think its anything I’ve done or not done at this point since I am just writing and posting. Not much else 🙂
I am closing this topic as its sat idle with no answer for more than three weeks. A switch to a different theme from Raindrops allowed me to see the Preview Post while doing edits so I am hoping at some point an update to the theme will rectify the issue I was encountering. All plugins remained active and were not the cause. For now I will be using a different theme since my productivity was held back by this issue. I liked Raindrops but need to work easier.
