Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Header not updatingIt sounds like the issue might be related to how the navigation block inside your header pattern is set up. When you add a new page or custom link (like your “Audiobooks” tab), the menu won’t always update automatically unless it’s pulling from a navigation menu rather than being hard-coded.
A couple of things you can try:
- Check the Navigation Block
- Go into your header pattern in the Site Editor.
- Select the navigation block.
- In the right-hand sidebar, make sure it’s actually connected to a navigation menu (not just individual links you added in the pattern).
- Update the Navigation Menu
- From the Dashboard, go to Appearance → Editor → Navigation.
- Find the menu your header is using and manually add your new “Audiobooks” link there.
- Save changes, then refresh your site.
- Clear Cache
- If you’re using a caching plugin or if your host has server caching, clear it after saving. Sometimes changes don’t show up until cache is flushed.
- Check for Theme/Plugin Overrides
- Some block themes treat header patterns as reusable, but others override them with template parts. If you created your header as a pattern rather than a template part, it may not be pulling dynamic updates. In that case, try creating or editing it as a template part instead.
If none of that works, it’s possible your theme has a quirk in how it handles navigation within patterns. In that case, switching the header to use a dedicated template part for navigation usually fixes the issue.
