  1. Thanks Luis for the link, it will check if there is a future update.

  2. Yes, I think it's because it's an old version of WordPress MU on which the Cartesian blogs are assembled. In these versions the cache was cleaned as in the recent ones.

    Myself happens to me, while we think of how to migrate to a new one, which is not so close to the corner, the only way to survive with Geofumadas is by using Shift + F5

    all the best
