Joomla Pagination Issue. Last page browsed is automatically shown as default page in the list view without pagination in same browser

Question

Joomla displaying wrong pagination

To explain with

a) say i am on page 24 the page shows below url

/index.php?option=com_news&view=list&Itemid=10&limitstart=115

b) Now when the com news list page opened / browsed again on the same browser

/index.php?option=com_news&view=list&Itemid=10

It displays content of page 24

However - when the page is tried and accessed on new browser - its displayed correctly

The cache is disabled, This is checked on chrome, firefox - all same

Basically any last page (say page 20) as browsed by user when explored in list view and again shown as default page in this url

/index.php?option=com_news&view=list&Itemid=10

This is browser

The first page has to manually be selected through How to solve it

Am on joomla 3.6.2, apache 2.4, php 5.6

Edited Though this is solved by destroying joomla session variable

<?php $session = JFactory::getSession(); $session->destroy();

Unsure how well is it Is there a way to kill only pagination session only

Answer 1

That is definitely a caching issue. Either you have the "System - Cache" plugin enabled, or you have some aggressive caching at the server level (if you are on a shared host, then note that some hosts are recently much more aggressive in their caching for shared hosting accounts).

Also, try renaming your .htaccess file to see if the problem is caused by some rules in your .htaccess file.

Answer 2

Open your actual Breadcrumbs module and make sure the caching is disabled there as well.
