Updating website doesn't show changes

Post by alex4orly »

Please have a look here : http://communitylifestyleaccommodation.org.au/
It seems my publishing from WWB no longer uploads my changes
I made 2 changes to te menu - but the old setup comes up
I made a change on the front page, the change is not there

I refreshed the browser (Chrome) several times, used another browser... no go

Any idea?

when you say you 'refreshed' how did you do it? Did you hit F5 (soft reload) or control-F5 (hard reload)?

If after a hard reload it doesnt show the changes, it could be that your host is caching some things so it could take a few minutes to see changes.

Hi Crispy68

Soft and Hard, both don't show the changes.
If you visit the site here : http://communitylifestyleaccommodation.org.au/
Get Involved-> Become a Member is suposed to load a PDF into a Lightbox, but instead it brings up the previous setup - a Pop-Up window

The change was made about 2 hours ago...

Any other ideas?

Cheers

Are you sure that you are uploading the new files to the correct place and they are overwriting the previous files?

Based on the code, your .pdf is set to open up in a popup window. So it cant be a cache issue with me as I've never seen this page before and it's the first time for me loading it.

What does the date/time say on your server for the files you just tried to upload? Is WB even actually connecting? Are there any errors during publishing? Are you able to connect using a 3rd party ftp like Filezilla?

I republished the entire web project
The file time/dates are correct
The files are published into the correct folder
I am checking all this with FileZilla of course

The code in the master_frame page is there, but the menu still works on the old Popups

Will wait to see what Pablo says

Thanks

Yes, but because it is now a live site
I replaced the usage of PopUp with LightBox and will continue to fight with it outside of the live site

For some reason, the problem manifests itself on my Windows PC, but on my Windows Laptop it looks OK
On my PC it shows as if no MENU changes were done....
I tried it on Chrome, FireFox, IE and Edge
I refreshed the cache soft / hard... didn't help

I am unclear, what on my PC can manifest itself the same on all the browsers....

Any idea?

Are there any errors in the publish log?

Are you aware that the name of the page is 'home' instead of 'index'?

Well, I wasted the whole day today on this....
While developing the site and to prevent visitors from seeing it, I named the page home.html and had a dummy index.html
When I finished, I renamed the home.html to index.html and somehow, it was renamed back to home....
So, since then each time I published the site it would have gone back to the old existing index.html ....

No errors were found in the publish.log file

Thanks Pablo
