Site not updated in my browser even I have cleared the brower's cache

    Hello:

    Please help me figure out what the problem is. I have made some changes of my site, but the updates are not shown in my browser of my home computer. They do show up in the browser of other computers in the public library. I cleared the browser cache in my home computer and the site still remains unchanged. It has been 4 days already and I still have no clue.

    My site url:
    https://www.bellelumierephotography.ca

    Another question is I cannot change the font size of the text on my sidebar. I used the Text Widget from the WordPress Twentyfourteen Theme. I used the <font> tag. Other attributions work except the font-size. Why?

    Thank you very much in advance!

    The changes include the little Map on the top of the left sidebar. I am sure you can see it in your browser. It is just my home computer refuse to refresh the webpage. Even the reboot does get it refresh. Neither the clearing of cache

    The problem occurs after I point my domain name to a new server. My home computer just refuses to go to the pointing server. It always hangs on to the old server. That is why it is not showing the updates while other computers can.

    How to address the problem?

    Have you tried flushing the DNS on that computer?

    When a domain is registered or altered, there is a process called propagation, where information about the domain name is passed to internet service providers all over the world. This process can take up to 72 hours (though usually much less). During that time, your domain may go to its old location, and you may also receive a warning message in your browser about “redirect errors.”

    If you still have trouble viewing the site after maybe 12 hours have passed, please try clearing your browser’s cache.

    If that doesn’t work, try clearing your local DNS cache: https://support.opendns.com/entries/26336865-Clearing-the-DNS-Cache-on-Computers-Servers-and-Web-Browsers

    Hi WPyogl and James.

    Thank you! I think flushing local DNS will fix it. I haven’t done that before, but I have problem doing it. I haven’t done that before.

    I access my terminal and run the command as your link suggests for my OS X. Then it asks me for password. I try to type but it greys out. I could not type in. What can I do?

    I am using the following command for my Mountain Lion

    sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder

    While I am having problem flushing the DNS, I found one more thing:

    The site shows updates when I was using my Macbook through the public library Internet. The same Macbook, after I returned home and I just opened it to connect with my home wifi, goes back to the old site that shows no updates.

    Is this still a sign of a corrupt local DNS?

    Could this be an issue of the Cloudflare? Please help me out.

    Hey problem solved. The local DNS is the culprit. I flush it by using this command line:

    dscacheutil -flushcache

    It works on my OS X 10.8.5
