How can I fix the problem that the CSS file gets cached. I make a lot of changes in the CSS file and it would be great if you don't need first to clear the browser cache. Thanks for helping!
I have Expires Cashing rules in my server's .htaccess file. In my example below, most file types are cached for 1 year. CSS for 1 month and the default is 2 days.
## EXPIRES CACHING ##
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresByType application/vnd.ms-fontobject "access 1 year"
ExpiresByType application/x-font-ttf "access 1 year"
ExpiresByType application/x-font-opentype "access 1 year"
ExpiresByType application/x-font-woff "access 1 year"
ExpiresByType image/svg+xml "access 1 year"
ExpiresByT
