Hi everyone, my name is Melinda with IWD Agency and
today i'm going to walk you through how to clear your cash in Magento.
We also have other videos in our Magento database
so be sure to check out those how-to videos too.
So Magento uses a caching system to assist your site
and running faster so caches are great because everyone likes when their
websites are running nice and smooth however if you change certain
details within your website like adding removing
products changing website files like themes
or adding and removing extensions you need to clear the cache in order to see
the latest changes so what we're going to do is we're going
to start in our dashboard and then go down and click on system
and then after clicking on systems we're going to go under tools
and click on cash management
this is going to bring us to our cash management
page where there are different ways to flush the cache um just quick note if
you're installing or removing extensions you should always clear the cache to see
the latest changes so the first thing we're going to do is
we're going to flush the magento cache so what this does is it removes all the
items in the default magento cache according to their magento
text so we're gonna click on this orange
button to the right give it a little time
and sometimes it'll take a little longer than other times so
a good tip when flushing the cash is to do it when your website isn't busy
so during an off time because if you have too much
traffic coming into your website it could crash
crash the site until the cache is done clearing
so we've flush the magento cache and the next thing we're going to do
even though it's not highlighted orange we're going to look to the left of the
orange button and we're going to flush the cash
storage so what this does is it removes
all items from cash regardless of the magento tag
and we'll hit okay and then as you can see right here
the magento cache storage has been flushed
and then the next thing we're going to do is we're going to do
a mass action refresh so you want to click this drop down and
then change it from actions to refresh and then we're going to come down
click this drop down and we're going to select
all you can always do it one by one for the ones that say um that show up
red that aren't enabled but it's always
easier to just click the drop down select all and then refresh
everything
and then we're going to give this one a little time
to refresh
and it shows that 17 cash types are refreshed
the next one we're gonna refresh
are both
move this over
okay we're going to come down and we're going to flush both the javascript
css and also the image cache so first we're going to click on is
flush catalog image cache and what this does is it'll clear
pre-generated product image files and then it says the
image cache was cleaned we're going to scroll down and we're
going to flush javascript css cache so what this says is
it'll clear any javascript and css files that have been merged into a single file
now it shows the javascript css cache has been
cleaned
