Not understanding Ghost caching

Developer help
1

Howdy,

My blog is on Ghost Pro. The URL is here:
spinbackwards

Using the Casper Theme.

I’m not understanding why from some Pages in my site a link works. But from other pages it does not - I get a 404 error.

For example from my home page the About link at the bottom of the page works. But if I navigate to another page on my site the About page doesn’t work - I get a 404 error.

I’ve also run into weird caching problems. Pages that don’t display as expected when browsing from my desktop or phone display fine when I call a friend and have them look.

Maybe when making changes we’re not updating the site correctly? I looked around for what is best practices when updating a theme, couldn’t find much.

We come from Word Press, never had to deal with caching before. On Ghost caching seems to be a thing, we need to understand it.

Is there content we can read that covers best practices when making changes? A sort of Ghost caching for those new to Ghost? If so, please send a link. Anything else - tips and tricks – would be appreciated too.

Thanks,

This doesn’t seem to be a caching problem.

I noticed on your site that the correct URL for your About page is https://www.spinbackwards.io/about-me/

So when you are on the homepage and click on About, it goes to the correct URL.

But when you are in a post and click on About, the URL it goes to is https://www.spinbackwards.io/**the-blog-post-permalink**/about-me

For example: https://www.spinbackwards.io/blockstream-square-to/about-me/

When you are in the homepage and click on About, nothing is being added to the permalink of your About page, that’s why you don’t see 404.

I think in your footer.hbs, you need to change:

<a href="about-me">

to

<a href="{{@site.url}}/about-me/">
