The most common issue with page caching is that the browser cache needs to be cleared. Clearing the browser cache is different depending on which browser you are using. We suggest following the steps in this doc: Clearing Browser Cache and Cookies
After the cache is cleared from the browser, we highly recommend performing a hard refresh on the page. This process will help force the browser to load the most recent version of the page.
Windows/Linux: Hold down the Ctrl key and press the F5 key on the keyboard
Mac: Hold down Cmd and Shift keys and then press R on the keyboard
In WiscWeb, pages can be cached for up to 3 hours. Therefore, you may just need to force WordPress to clear the cache for the page in order for your new edits to take effect.
