[Hummingbird] define('DONOTCACHEPAGE', true); for specific page

It is not clear to me how to set a specific page to not be cached. Searching support didn't appear to help. I want to make sure this page is never cached: http://www.teamcarney.com/careers/apply-now/

Hello Allen

Please go to Dashboard > HummingBird > Caching > Page Caching > Exclusions > URL String and put /careers/apply-now/ and /apply-now/ there in each line. That should exclude the page from caching.

Please let us know if that works for you. Have a nice day!

Cheers,

Ash

I did this – however, it seems that every time Hummingbird updates, it wipes out my rule and the page is cached once more. Any suggestions? This is annoying. Is there a way to insert the code into a specific page? (I’m using Divi 4.1)

Hi nicollb , Jeroen

To use “define(‘DONOTCACHEPAGE’, true);” in Divi, it will be wise to base on a child theme, so in the next Divi update your changes will be not lost.

Here are some steps to manage this:
1. via this guide https://www.elegantthemes.com/blog/divi-resources/divi-child-theme create child theme for Divi
2. via FTP from /wp-content/themes/Divi/ copy page.php file and upload to /wp-content/themes/divi-child/ and rename that file to page-nocache.php for example.
3. edit that file in notepad or notepad++ and add below line:
define('DONOTCACHEPAGE', true);

At the end your page-nocache.php file located in /wp-content/themes/divi-child/ should looks like:
```
<?php
define('DONOTCACHEPAGE', true);

/*
Template Name: No Cache
*/

get_header(); ...
...
...
```
4. Go to your site Dashboard and From Appearance activate Divi Child Theme. It should be visible on the list of themes.

5. Enter your page you do not want to cache and from right sidebar called “Page attributes” choose template called “No Cache”.

Thanks to that this page will be not cached.

  I have the define(‘DONOTCACHEPAGE’, true); defined in a file: page-template-nocache.php in a childtheme (Mobilecursillo Divi Child); This template is in use for the page I do not want to cache. However, the page still contains the note that it is being cached by Hummingbird. I have
  https://mobilecursillo.org/todays-readings.
  Page template file:
  
  <?php
  define(‘DONOTCACHEPAGE’, true);
  /*
  Template Name: No Cache
  */
  get_header();
