Information: Edit files

Good morning,
I have a program that scans the files of my web space to inform me of the changes. He often tells me that they change the css files of the widgets (sow-features, sow-headline, sow-post-carousel, sow-button-wire, etc.) without anyone doing anything. Is it normal behavior?

Sorry my bad English, very poor

    Hi Martyn

    Thanks for reaching out.

    The CSS widget cache regenerates when:

    * Any plugin activation/deactivation.
    * Changing theme
    * SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle update.
    * An edit is made to the page.

    I hope that helps to explain what you’re seeing in logs.

    Hello,
    sorry if I have not replied, busy period.
    However, I have noticed that the files are created when a user visits the page. So these CSS are cache files?

    Hi Martyn

    Thanks for your reply. The CSS is indeed cache files. The files shouldn’t be regenerated whenever a user views the page. How often do you see new cache files created?

    Hi Andrew,
    the frequency is about seven days where they are added then modified or removed.
    The notification comes from the All-in-One-WP-Security plug-in from its file scanner.

    Hi Martyn

    Thanks for your reply.

    CSS expires every week (604800 seconds), after every update (WordPress, plugin, or theme), or plugin/theme deactivation/activation.

    OK thank you!
    I set a rule to ignore the folder where these files are stored.

    Perfect! Thanks for the update and for creating the rule.

    Cheers for now.
