Homepage not updating

  • Hi, I changed my theme from ‘X’ to ‘GeneratePress’ 4 days ago. All the pages and posts are working fine, and they have translated well in the new format. However, the homepage has not moved to the new format.
    I am using W3TC for cache, and cloudflare CDN. Hostgator is my hosting provider. I have cleared cache in every place at least 10 times a day for the last 4 days. I have checked all the settings on my wordpress blog and theme customization.
    In fact, for a brief period of time my website was showing the new homepage on Safari, but when I cleared Safari’s cache and browsing history, it again reverted back to old homepage.
    I have removed ‘X’ theme after I moved to ‘GeneratePress’, however I suspect something of it shall be remaining stuck somewhere in my website.
    Another thing is, the new posts that I am publishing are also not showing up for days now on homepage.
    Additional information: In the last 4 days, I have played with W3TC and cloudflare extensively and changed many settings to resolve the problem. Right now, W3TC and cloudflare are working on maximum settings(?) – basically, everything is ON in both of them.
    I have also removed quite a number of plugins for security and otherwise while making my transition to new theme. I am not sure whether this is relevant information though.
    Please help.

    I have also deactivated homepage caching on W3TC.
    Additionally, I found that in some browsers and places the “Recent Posts” are also not updating even on pages and post-pages.

    Updates:
    Tried disabling W3TC – no effect
    Disabled browser and page cache – no effect
    Connected W3 Total cache with cloudflare at API level – No effect

    Additionally, I found that some of the older posts are also in the previous theme format. Totally confused with erratic nature of the problem.

    Please help

    Tried making homepage a static page – no effect

    Have you Purge Cache your site from cloudflare ?

    Try clearing cache from cloudflare dashboard
    Site > Caching > Configuration > Custom Purge > (Homepage)

    Pages that don’t change even after we modify them usually happen if you apply Page Rules Cache in cloudflare.

    I’ve also experienced this where the post I published doesn’t appear on the homepage because I haven’t deleted the cache from cludflare.

    Hope this help you.
