I have been using XAMPP to connect to localhost to do editing on my computer for websites. I have been using it for over a year now and in the past whenever I would update the local file, I could refresh the page on my browser and it would immediately update. Now, I can’t get it to update even if, for example, an image file has changed.
I’m wondering if it’s an issue with cookies (which I haven’t had in the past). Is there a common reason that this happens? I couldn’t find anything upon a search. Thanks for the help!
First thing to try would be clearing browser history/cache and reloading the browser.
If you enabled some kind of caching that might also explain it.
You could test by creating a new page on localhost and see if it works. If so, then check that any pages you’re changing on localhost are actually being updated (check the file modified times and close/reload the source to see if the changes are actually there).
