 * I have a wordpress installation that is being hosted with webhostgiant. I noticed
   recently when I make changes to my website and I click ‘update’ it doesn’t update
   content. today I downloaded a file contact.php and i made some modifications 
   to it but when i uploaded the changes weren’t there. is it an issue with wordpress
   or the hosting company? thanks.

 * Be sure that you have cleared all caches, both from plugins in your site and 
   your local pc.

 * thanks for the feedback. I know how to clear cache on my browser but how to do
   it from plugins?

 * Are you using any cache-related plugins, like WP Super Cache, or W3 Total Cache?
   If not, you should not have any cache from plugins.

 * no, I’m not using any of those. I have never experienced anything like this. 
   that’s why I’m wondering ‘could be an issue with the web hosting company?’

 * I’m sorry, but I overlooked part of your original post.
 * You said you downloaded contact.php, changed it, then uploaded. If you download
   again, are the changes gone? If so, it is not a cache issue at all.
 * In that case, you should check with tech support at your hosting service.

 * what I mean is I downloaded contact.php file made some changes, reupload but 
   I’m still getting the old version. that’s the scary part. it’s not updating! 
   I’ve had issues like that for a while. I make changes to content, update, preview,
   old content. one client just told me there was no phone number on my site. I 
   remember putting it there, then it was gone. how reliable is that?

 * So, the changes are still there if you download it again, but the site display
   does not change?
 * I am out of ideas on that one.
