Have a function that makes a change to taxonomy term via AJAX. This works great, except the content remains unchanged on window.location.reload(true)
even though the change has been made. See the code and GIF below to understand.
This is an example that adds the button and reloads page on click
if ( 'publish' === $post->post_status && $post->post_type === 'campaigns' ) {
$text = (in_category( 'live') ? 'Activate' : 'Activate');
echo '<li><a href="" onclick="window.location.reload(true);return toggleLive(this, ' . $post->ID . ');">' . $text . '</a></li>';
}
So, is there another way that I can reload the page onClick
that may help? Also, the post modified date is not updating, yet changes have been made to the post.
Thanks in advance for your help
EDIT -
I have already tried
location.href = location.href;
and
document.location.reload();
