    website: firechaplain101.org (any page) theme: twenty eleven child

    Made change to footer.php (changed date) – – updated file – – downloaded file – – uploaded file – – but new date doesn’t appear in the website– only the old date (Did the same thing in October and have only changed the word press version since).

    Accessed theme footer.php (via fileZilla) and new date was there.

    Am using Firefox and cleared the cache but no joy.

    What am I doing wrong?

  • do you see the changed code when you view the footer.php of your child theme, using the ‘appearance – editor’?

    Yes the old code is 10/2017 and the new code is 01/2018

    Problem fixed

    Thank you, Michael! Your reply didn’t really point to my problem, but it did remind me about the ‘new’ folder (see below)).

    Am embarrassed … When I moved to a new hosting company, I used the WordPress Plug-in Duplicator and it created a new folder which contained a Public_HTML Subfolder-> And ultimately the Themes subfolder (probably due to something I did). Anyway, the footer was changed in the “original” Public_HTML > Themes subfolder but the website executed from the new folder … don’t completely understand because I had made an update to the original footer.php and it was correct when the website executed. The only thing that’s changed since the October 2017 change was that WordPress and the Duplicator plug-in were updated.

    Bottom line though, the website is correct and now.
