How to Clear the Cache for FTP Updates on NuvemShop?

This past weekend, I needed to perform maintenance on a website hosted on NuvemShop, a platform quite popular in Brazil.

The problem? I edited the files via FTP, but the changes took forever to reflect on the site. I tried everything: Cmd + Shift + R, disabling the cache in Google Chrome DevTools, using various headers with ModHeader... and nothing worked. I searched a lot but couldn’t find a direct solution.

Until I had an idea 💡 and discovered a simple way to fix it!

Step-by-step to Clear NuvemShop’s Cache

1️⃣ Go to the NuvemShop admin panel:

My NuvemShop » Edit Current Layout » Advanced CSS Editing

2️⃣ Inside the CSS box, add any text, like (remove this after finish your work):

   //test
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

3️⃣ Click on "Test CSS", and then click "Publish Changes"

NuvemShop - Advanced CSS Editing

This will force the cache to clear, and your FTP changes will appear instantly! 🎉

I hope this tip helps! If anyone knows an even simpler method, feel free to share in the comments.
