Deleted page still showing

  • I am about to redo my website and have created an Under Construction page. This is the page you are supposed to go to when typing in the address.

    On mobile you still come to the regular front page of my site, even after I have physically deleted the page. It is now in the trash, still it is the page that shows up on mobile, I have refreshed and emptied cache several times. On desktop it has been a bit back and forth with the regular page and the UC page.

    This has been an issue for a while. It started with the cover image going missing, and nothing I did would change that. Changing the image did nothing. On mobile you just saw that little broken image icon in the top corner. Deleting the images did not help.

    Any ideas on what to do?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • It sounds like you’re experiencing a few different issues with your WordPress site, particularly with the display of pages and images on different devices. Here are some steps and considerations to address these problems:

    1. Caching Issues:
      • Server-Side Caching: Your hosting provider may have server-side caching. You should clear this cache through your hosting control panel.
      • Content Delivery Network (CDN): If you’re using a CDN like Cloudflare, make sure to clear its cache as well.
      • Browser Cache: Clear the cache on your mobile browser, even though you mentioned doing this, try to access it from a Incognito window.
    2. Under Construction Plugin:
      • If you’re using an ‘Under Construction’ plugin, ensure it’s configured correctly. Some plugins allow you to set different views for different device types.
      • Check the plugin settings for any device-specific configurations.
    3. Image Display Issues:
      • Broken Images: If images are showing as broken, it could be due to incorrect file paths or permissions issues. Ensure that the images are uploaded correctly in the media library and the links are not broken.
      • File Format and Size: Ensure the images are in a web-friendly format (like JPEG, PNG) and are not excessively large, which can cause display issues.
    4. Page Visibility:
      • Permalinks: Sometimes, resetting the permalinks can resolve unexpected behavior. Go to Settings > Permalinks and simply save the settings again.
      • Page Deletion: If you’ve deleted a page but it still shows up, ensure you’ve emptied the trash in WordPress. If the page is cached somewhere (like in a CDN), it might still show up until the cache is cleared.

    Thank you for your reply. It looks like the problem is viewing the page with or without www. I have added a 301 redirect from the www page to the page without www.

    Regards
