Home page not updating with new posts

    I am having an issue that is totally stumping me. Yesterday my blog (www.justaguything.com) unexpectedly went down (I wasn’t doing anything to it at the time) and started giving “500 Internal Server Error” messages. Then several hours later the site came back up (no one touched anything to get it back up, so why it came back up is a mystery).

    But since it’s come back up, new posts are not showing up on the home page. When a new post is published you can go to the post page and it’s published in the RSS feed, but it’s not displayed on the home page. Nothing was changed in the theme or the WP settings, so the root cause is a unknown.

    I have tried the following, but nothing has fixed the problem:

    – turned off all caching and confirmed with my hosting company that they were not caching pages on their end

    – deactivated all plugins

    – upgraded to WP 2.8.1

    – changed themes (when changing themes, all the single post pages use the new theme, but the home page still displays the previous theme)

    Any ideas on how to fix this? Both me and my hosting company are stumped. Any help is much appreciated.

  • Hi,

    – Clear the cache memory and check with default theme of wordpress..check the index.php file code for the displaying the post..is it set to Ascending order or descending order?

    Thanks,

    Thanks Shane – that actually didn’t turn out to be the issue. As I was checking out the index.php file as you suggested I saw that there was an extra index.html page outside of the theme directory. I’m not sure how it got there, but I deleted that file and the problem was solved. I guess the browser was pulling this file when a user visited the site, but that file was not being updated by the index.php code within the theme’s directory.
