Why don't changes get reflected in the browser instantly?

My WP installation on Mac OS X Yosemite has a bit of a hiccup - sometimes the changes don't get updated instantly after I save the theme files. I have to click around or wait for about 30 seconds then the changes are shown in the browser. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Could you create a file with the contexts

<?php 
phpinfo();
?>

And copy and paste the results into the forum? According to this bug report the opcache might have changed in Yosemite.

Didn't help either - I commented out all OPCache lines.

I changed the PHP version from 5.5 to 5.2.17 and now it works - but a plugin requires a higher PHP version, so this is not a long-term solution.

This sounds more like a machine problem. Where do you have your sites folder located on your computer?

The files are under Users > My_Username > Google Drive > Sites

Yosemite enables Zend OPcache (It's marked as enabled in your phpinfo) for PHP code, edit your php.ini file to disable it.

Mike, I changed the value of "opcache.enable_cli" from 1 to 0 in both php.ini and php.ini.temp files from Macintosh HD ▸ Applications ▸ MAMP ▸ bin ▸ php ▸ php5.5.3, but the problem persists. I also moved the whole folder with files from my Google Drive and placed it in my user's main directory.

[OPcache]
zend_extension="/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.3/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20121212/opcache.so"
  opcache.memory_consumption=128
  opcache.interned_strings_buffer=8
  opcache.max_accelerated_files=4000
  opcache.revalidate_freq=60
  opcache.fast_shutdown=1
  opcache.enable_cli=0

Still looking for an answer.

After looking through documentation, I added:

opcache.enable=0

but still no luck.

Use prepros. It's perfect it's even better than WAMP and XAMPP and it updates automatically.

I noticed now it takes exactly 1 minute for the changes to take effect. It doesn't seem to matter if I click around or not.

Did you try to delete your browsers cache? That sometimes help.
