Older version of pages still appear after an update

Post by stephhalle »

Hello,

I am having a problem with my website. After updating a page (or part of a page, like an "include" header file), sometimes the old version of the page still appears on the site. Would anyone have any idea what the cause may be? Would it have something to do with the server?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

I can't count the number of times I've thought this was happening to one of my web pages. What it has always boiled down to is one of the following:
  • My browser had cached the page. Shut down your browser and re-open it.
  • I had forgotten to save my changes before uploading the file to the server.
  • I had saved the file, but in the wrong local directory, so when I uploaded to the server, I was uploading the same old file.
  • I had accidentally uploaded the file to the wrong directory on the server.
