Updates aren't publishing

  • I have made a number of updates in wordpress to my site
    and after 24 hours, clearing the cache history, AND checking with
    my hosting to see if they were the problem source – i am not seeing the new changes stick to the site.

    I have refreshed, logged out, restarted, tried numerous computers and
    the updates occasionally show up on different attempts….BUT they are
    not sticking consistently.

    Another point I’m noticing is that the updates might be visible in chrome but not in firefox or IE.

    Can you please advise what i should do?

  • Without a URL to your site, it’d be a wild guess.

    Perchance, are you running a caching plugin?

    oops – the website! ??

    What kind of updates are you making that don;t stick?

    The main one: Text on the home page. I’ve changed the text, uploaded the correct file, deleted the old one, double checked the file path – all is in place and yet the old text continues to show up.

    other times – i might change the size of an image and the old image size remains.

    *blink* Wait… What?

    Are you editing POSTS or your theme? Can you tell us where you’re uploading this file to?

    no, but now that you mention it – a post might be simpler than the method i’m using.

    right now – the text on the homepage is done in photoshop and then saved as a jpg with the background. Then that background is uploaded into wordpress.

    so yes, in answer to your question – i’m editing my theme.

    Hi guys – i thought i’d try to rephrase my question for more clarity.
    Apologies for the confusion…

    —
    After making a simple change to my website via wordpress such as switching the homepage image, changing logo or adding a sidebar I hit the update button and try to access my website via a browser (Safari, Firefox and IE), however the changes are not reflected. I percieved this to be an issue because of me still logged into wordpress, however even after logging out the issue persists. Continuous refreshing still yeilds no refresh of content. If i clear my browser cache and then try it appears to pick up the latest version. Since, i cannot expect my viewers to do this everytime is there another solution to this issue? Can i add some php code to force a refresh of content on the viewers web browser?

    Long winded but hope you get the gist of what i am trying to get answered and at the same time give some perspective to what has already been tried.

    Ahh.

    When you make these changes, next time also re-save the css file, see if that forces a refresh?

    the text on the homepage is done in photoshop and then saved as a jpg with the background. Then that background is uploaded into wordpress.

    Then it’s likely your browser.

    Also – text shoudl be in posts, not in an image. especially if you are going to keep changing it.

    that’s kind of the whole point of the software….
