Changes don’t appear on the site

  • I made changes to my home (front) page. Clicked to see the preview. Everything looked good. So I updated the page. When I clicked “view page” I saw that the page had not changed. It’s the same as it was before I made the changes – as if I’d not changed anything.

    Also the admin bar across the top is not there.
    The main menu on that page is not the most recently saved menu.
    The sidebar has a widget that I’d removed.

    I go back and open the page to re-do the changes I made. But the changes I made are there. So the page got saved, but the changes didn’t go live.

    I explore further. When I click “visit site” from my admin menu, I get the old, unchanged home page with no admin bar. With no pattern that I can see, some pages are missing the admin bar and also have the menu and sidebar problem I mentioned. Most pages are fine.

    I am seriously befuddled.

    Firefox, Opera, Safari on a Mac. Do I need to download Chrome?

    Update. All traces of WP 2011 Theme are gone. One page and two posts were affected, but they’re OK now. Stuff seems to get better the longer I leave things alone. But a minor change to a page or post seems to take 18-30 hours. Still many pages & posts with outdated menus and no admin tool bar.

    You mentioned a mod_lock security issue. I don’t know what that means. Is it something I should take to Bluehost?

    While on my home page and logged in as admin, using Firefox Tools/Web Developer/Web Console with JS selected, I get a very long list, including many items that say “Error in parsing value for… Declaration dropped.”

    I admit, I don’t know what I’m looking at. You probably know by now that I know just enough to get myself in trouble. I only know enough about JS and PHP to know that I must never mess with them. So I never do.

    BTW, Google Webmaster Tools says, “Currently, we haven’t detected any security issues with your site’s content.”

    Fixed!! I apparently got ahold of the right guy at Bluehost this time. Thanks so much, kmessinger! You helped me figure out the right things to tell Bluehost.
