Caching is killing me

[akesox10]

I make css edits and can see the updates aren't reflected in the active stylesheet...for a long time. Eventually they show up but it makes working on a site nearly impossible. I'm all in favor of caching but not if I can't turn it off. Is it going to stay this way or can we expect an improvement?

Add the following to the htaccess in the folder you wish to disable caching in.

Header set Cache-Control "max-age=0, private, no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate"

Thanks. Tried it in the root htaccess and the theme folder but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

Thanks. Tried it in the root htaccess and the theme folder but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

it is in my [ public_html ] folder - and made no change for me

This finally did the trick for me - added to .htaccess at root (public_html):
<filesMatch "\.(html|htm|js|css)$">
FileETag None
<ifModule mod_headers.c>
Header unset ETag
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=0, no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate"
Header set Pragma "no-cache"
Header set Expires "Wed, 11 Jan 1984 05:00:00 GMT"
</ifModule>
</filesMatch>
