yes, I’ve saved the color changes. I can open up the category color page and all the colors I entered are there.

I forgot about the Coming Soon page. Is there a way you can see the source code with that turned on?

I’m making the changes and definitely saving them, but they don’t even show up in the “Customize” tool.

I’ve tried that, several times, to no avail. That’s why I think I missing something basic about the menu requirement.

Deleted the directories. No change. Front page still shows old version.

Ok. I did all the steps in that article. No change. (I just want to cry.)

Also, those minify files are still there in the wp-content/cache/minify directory. Should they be there?

The wp-content/cache directory has the following sub-directories:

config: no files
db: not files
minify:

• has it’s own .htaccess file
• has subdirectory 000000 with 35 items

.

page_enhanced:

• has it’s own .htaccess file
• has subdirectory http://www.bostonagainstolympics.bid with 13 items

temp: no files

I hear you.

where would I look? (I went into file manager and searched for files that the word “cache” in the filename and it says there are none. is there something else I should look for?

UPDATE: I just found this directory: /2024/wp-content/cache/minify/000000 and it’s full of files that I don’t seem to be able to delete. I try and it returns “Internal Server Error” with no explanation.

1. Yes, W3TC is disabled.
2. Correct, no other caching or minify plugins
3. Not sure. Don’t see anywhere on my control panel to clear cache on the host. (UPDATE: found cache management tool and turned off caching, for now.)
4. Correct, not seeing updates. Yes, using the “Visit Site” option (though I’ve tried loading the pages manually and in a different browser. Same result.)
5. On Thursday, I saw my friend’s computer register updates. (But come to think of it, he was on a computer in his office that he doesn’t usually use, so it may have been the first time he loaded the page, at all. What you’re reporting, however is a couple of posts behind the latest, so I’m skeptical that the front page is updating anywhere.

Now, I’ve deactivated widget (Event Organiser and Enhanced Text) and the page still displays without updates. It still has the content from those deleted plugins.)

Just for the sake of having as many clues as possible here:
some pages ARE updating. I can see the sidebar updates and the correct latest post link on a single post page or an event page, for instance.

That’s a good question. I’m not sure if I can recall. I might have added an event manager plug in in that time frame. Will try turning that off to see what happens.

I did deactivate the W3 cache plugin. No change.

What I find odd is that the page is updating just fine on other computers.

For instance, if you load our front page, what is the first blog entry you see at the top of the right-hand column? (I just added that today and I can’t see it, but others can. My front page looks exactly the same for since the time I first posted this thread.)
