New posts won’t display properly

  • Greetings … Have a WP blog hosted off of WP that is updated to 6.5.2. I set up and activated my weekly post yesterday (Sat., 4/13) and a bizarre anomaly happened. The new post will appear on the home page only when I’m logged in, acting as if it was a “private” post, and be available only under “April 2024” in the blogroll when logged out. (It is set to “public.”) The prior post from a week ago, I deleted out of frustration about 10 hours ago as a test … yet, that one still appears on the home page as of this note. The graphic is gone because I deleted that from our server as a test. If you click the headline, it leads to a dead end as if the post was never there. Something is off; we did have a “critical error” issue on 4/6; my webmaster thought it was due to the WP update failing, although it has since been instated. Any thoughts on this are appreciated. Cheers.

  • Well, not so bizarre an anomaly: it’s just a simple and very common case of a stale cache.

    The WP-Optimize plugin you’re using to speed up your site created a cache or snapshot of the page you’re seeing now, and serves this to the site’s visitors. When you creat a new post, the plugin should discard the snapshot it created earlier, and create a new one. This is clearly not happening on your site: but I can’t say if you’ve not configured the plugin correctly or the plugin simply lacks this capability.

    Note that logged-in users always get the real deal — they never see this snapshot. What’s why you see the correct page when you’re logged in, but see the outdated one when you’re logged out.

    The simple solution is to flush your WP-Optimize plugin’s cache.
