You were right, esmi; it was a host provider cache issue. The server my account was on went legacy and I was still editing old information rather than the data on the new server.

I checked my spam folder and naturally there’s a letter from my host provider notifying me of the server change.

Thanks much for your input.

Thanks for the quick response, esmi.

Still not working. I’m viewing the page in Safari and Firefox and cleared both caches and the FTP modifications aren’t taking. The “Last modified” column changes to show the moment I upload the FTP updates, but the pages still look the same even after I clear out the caches of both browsers.

I go back to the WP “Edit Theme” page, make the same changes and voila, the page updates! I’ve been working in WP since 1994, editing pages via FTP and I’ve never encountered this before.

I’m willing to bet it’s something simple, but at the moment it’s driving me mad.
