Updates only showing up after page is Edited and re-published

Permalink
Hi everyone,
I hope someone can help with this. My site is having an issue where new data will only show up on the website after the page has been edited and then saved again. Here are a couple examples:

- If a person posts a comment on a page, it won't show up until I go to that page, enter Edit mode, and then exit Edit mode again.

- Auto-nav blocks won't update themselves when a new page is added, until I go to that page, enter Edit mode, and then exit Edit mode again.

I'm running version 5.5.2.1 and hesitate to update to 5.6 because I did that on another website and the update totally broke it.

Any help would be very appreciated.

I think I figured it out. It appears to have been caused by page caching. I turned that on a while ago in an attempt to speed up the website, but it looks like it was causing comments and other updates to be cached ... surprise, surprise.

I'm a bit of a newbie to this kind of stuff, so I'm learning as I go.

Anyway I *think* that has solved it, but I'll post here again if the problem remains.
