Is there a single action that can be done to update the cache of the entire site? We're about to roll out a new product category and have updates to be made on multiple pages. Trying to avoid having to go into each individual field and parent pages and changing the cache. It appears we have the most basic install of processwire, no add-ons, so hopefully there is a simple solution that I am overlooking... Thanks in advance!

Thanks every one for the replies! I am a front end designer, and currently do not have access to the PHP files (of which I only have limited working knowledge of). So if I understand this correctly, one simply can't change the order of the front end template without modifying the PHP template file?

One issue is trying to rearrange the order of the fields in an existing template does not seem to produce the expected results. The order of the items in the template is not necessarily what renders when the page is viewed. Also, removing fields causes odd occurrences on the page (ie. some of the field elements are removed, but others persist). Any ideas?

Is it possible to create a new template solely through the CMS panel? Also, is it possible to copy an existing template and remove/add fields? So far my attempts have not been successful. Thanks in advance for my noob questions!

Ah, I had to change the cache settings on all parent pages as well. Kind of a pain. ...the pain comes in to where images need to be updated. For instance, changing an image on our homepage will remove the current image, but then leaves a blank space to where the new photo would appear once the cache settings have been expired. Is this how processwire works or am I missing another setting somewhere? The cache settings were set for 1 day – is there much speed benefit from having it set this way? How much would it hurt to set it to 0 and leave it that way? Would like to avoid having to go in and change various cache settings just to push an updated image.

Thank you, I learned something new! The cache settings for this template was set for 84600, so essentially one day. Changed that to 0 and resaved the item in question, but still do not see the change I am trying to make. Bummer too, replaced an image on the home page and it does not show any image, just a blank space!

Making simple changes, like updating images, are not immediately viewable by others ... why is this? If I am logged into the CMS I can see the changes, but if I log out, myself, and everyone else, can not see the changes. Eventually the site updates, but should this not be immediate? Is there a setting somewhere to publish the updates immediately? (I have tried clearing the cache, et. from the web browser, but the issue persists.)
