If you have one installed, see if you can configure it to ignore the page that the feed is on or clear the cache at a more frequent interval.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3) Your hosting company uses caching with it&#8217;s servers.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Many hosts, especially managed WordPress specific hosts (like WP Engine) have their own caching system directly on their servers. You may need to contact your host in order to allow the Twitter feed to update.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4) Your website does not clear cached data properly.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A very small percentage of websites have a problem with clearing what are called transients in the WordPress database. We have a setting to clear cached data in another way. Go to the Twitter Feed &gt; Settings &gt; Advanced tab and scroll to the bottom. Enable the setting &#8220;<strong>Force cache to clear on interval<\/strong>&#8221; then save the changes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/smashballoon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/2022-03-21_00-02-30-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1221402 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/smashballoon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/2022-03-21_00-02-30-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"626\" height=\"155\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smashballoon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/2022-03-21_00-02-30-1.png 626w, https:\/\/smashballoon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/2022-03-21_00-02-30-1-300x74.png 300w, https:\/\/smashballoon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/2022-03-21_00-02-30-1-240x59.png 240w, https:\/\/smashballoon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/2022-03-21_00-02-30-1-382x95.png 382w, https:\/\/smashballoon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/2022-03-21_00-02-30-1-591x146.png 591w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 626px) 100vw, 626px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>5) You have exhausted your update limit.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Due to sudden Twitter changes, our new API will update the feeds in the following way:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>PRO Users: An unlimited number of feeds and sources will update with a\u00a0<strong>limit of 12 updates per day<\/strong> spread out among the feeds. You can find more information <a href=\"https:\/\/smashballoon.com\/doc\/smash-balloon-twitter-changes\/\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Free Users: Due to the higher costs of updating feeds, our free users will be limited to one feed that is updated once a week.
