Found it.
Was a permissions issue.
Had to set the permission on the /wp-includes/themes/LondonLive/cache folder and files to “nobody”

Somehow the index.html file had administrator permissions and couldn’t be updated as required.

Working now – everyone happy.

Thanks.
It seems like it was something in the files that I could not delete by ftp in the LondonLive theme subfolders.

When I got the ISP to delete them, and reinstalled for the 4th time, it worked.

Now I just have an issue around images not displaying on the main screen until I click on them.

I seem to recall that happening a few months ago, but I was not involved in sorting it out then.

Any clues?

Hi Jonathan

Which .htaccess file – lots of them, in lots of different folders?
What out it to be?

Most seem to have 3 lines:
Options -Indexes
Order deny,allow
Deny from all

the one in the root folder has:

#BEGIN Image Upload HTTP Error Fix
<IfModule mod_security.c>
<Files async-upload.php>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</Files>
</IfModule>
#END Image Upload HTTP Error Fix

Disabling the cache did nothing, still looks like garbage on my wife’s machine – still perfectly readable on mine.

Weird!

Just tried to autoinstall the browser rules, and got:

The browser cache rules could not be modified. Please run chmod 777 /home/recfish/recfish.co.nz/.htaccess to resolve this issue.

Hi Jonathan
Yes – there is a caching Plugin – W3 Total Cache – and when I look at it’s settings it is enabled, but browser caching and and minify are not enabled.
There are options to autoinstall both.

While I have been programing for many years, and am familiar with the concept of caching, I have not encountered this particular tool before, and have no knowledge of what it is actually doing or why it is there.

Page caching is enabled, and is set to disk basic
Minify is active, but with thewarnings above, probably isn’t doing what it ought.

Have sent off a request to webhost – unfortunately it is now the weekend here in New Zealand.

Have just been informed of another somewhat more pressing issue.

It seems that only I, as administrator, can see the site. Everyone else just sees weird characters –
