# Posts get overwritten – Server cache?

 * Hi,
 * I’m running a Debian Server with Apache2 and PHP5.
    On this server I have one
   WordPress multisite installation and also a normal installation. Both work fine
   since several years. However, since some time, users report the following to 
   me: Whenever they create a post, they can publish it fine. But if they remodify
   it or create another one right afterwards, the first post gets completely overwritten
   and “disappears”. (Create post -> Edit & publish it. Click “Add post” – an empty
   editor page is displayed. Edit & publish it: now that post replaces the first
   one. The first one is completely gone.) I’ve seen this myself and tested reloading
   the post editor everytime manually, even if I see an empty editor page, using“
   Ctrl+R”. Miraculously, the problem vanishes. So it seems, that this is some kind
   of caching issue. However, I don’t know if this occurs in Apache, PHP or MySQL.
   Has anybody seen similar things before? I don’t use a caching plugin such as 
   varnish on the server and my configuration files should be more or less the Debian
   default.
 * Cheers!

 * Adding this to .htaccess fixed it for me.
 *     ```
       # DISABLE CACHING
       <IfModule mod_headers.c>
           Header set Pragma "no-cache"
               Header set Expires 0
       </IfModule>
       ```
