Dear Sir

Am using Joomla 2.5.16 with K2 version 2.6.7 - My issue is that when am deleting an image of an item in k2 and replacing this image with a new one. Even after clearing the cache and purging expired cache, the thumbnail of the old image continues to show up but inside the item i have the new image showing.

The old image thumbnail is appearing only on the homepage, any idea how i can resolve this issue please?

Hello Yasin,

Make sure when you change an image, the new one has a different filename because your browser has already cached the old image.

Yes krikor

I do use a different filename, and as precautionary measure i do delete the old image first do a save. Then edit the article again and upload the new image.

Still getting issue.

Ok, then it is a setting in your cache plugin. Turn off browser caching from the plugin's settings.

System caching is already disabled. Something worth mentioning i think is the fact that when i change an image and refresh my homepage, i do see the new thumbnail for 1 second only while the page is loading and once the page finish loading the image returns to the old one.

This is a strange behaviour. Are you using a commercial template?

These template frameworks have caching plugins of their own with their own distinct settings.

Yes am using a commercial template, and its this template in particular: www.joomshaper.com/joomla-templates/news-ii

The module am using to show the items from k2 is News Show SP1

You can confirm that its not an issue from K2 but rather from the module?

The issue is probably the module's caching.
Turn off caching for this module so it's cache will clear. Reload your site and the turn caching for this module back on.

The module caching was already off and i manage to turn the caching for the template also off when to no use still having the issue.

Before it was working properly i don't know why just recently am having this issue.

Just something i would like to add, since on my site the old images are appearing, can't it be that if i update an image the previous image is deleted from the src and cache folder?

The image could be deleted but the caching plugin generates a static version of your site and serves this static version to your guests. The question is why this content is not deleted when you delete the cache.

You can ask your hosting provider if there a was a change in your configuration.
