Adding new pages issue

Update

I’ve also just noticed that if I link to a blog entry https://spreadbettingbeginner.com/?p=4699 it also shows the cached version of my homepage. Can anyone help me here. I’m tearing my hair out trying to figure out what’s going on.

Thanks in advance

Remember to press CTRL and F5 simultaneously when viewing an updated page/site. Or try emptying your browser cache. This should ensure that your web browser fetches a fresh copy of the page rather than serving up an out-dated copy from your own cache.

Also disable/deactivate any caching plugin(s).

Thanks esmi. I tried that and it had no affect. I don’t have any caching plugins installed. Is it possible my hosting provider could have cached my home page? It’s odd because the ads that I have on there are on a loop, but every time I load the page it shows the same ones. Therefore I think it might be my host that has cached my home page. Is this possible? and if so how do I sort it out?

Yes. Or it could be your ISP.

Ok so I just tried loading the page on my phone and it’s the same. So I can only assume my host has cached the page. I guess I’ll have to contact them to find out why.

Thanks for your help.

Finally figured this out. There was an index.html page created on my server. Don’t know how or why it got there. This was the page that was being displayed and it was not using the index.php file. This gave the illusion that the page was cached when actually it wasn’t.

I suspect my hosting provider may have created this index.html page somehow but I don’t know why. Maybe my site is too popular or it could be that it’s too slow loading the index.php. We’ll see if it creates a new on in the next few days.
