   My post title doesn't update when the post is updated... the original (un-updated) title appears on the home page and on the post main page... fix? The sidebar links update, but not the header. What should I do? (see nikflorida.org ... http://nikflorida.org/2010/02/15/why-are-we-panicking-over-a-theory/ )

   This is not the only time this has happened, nor is 2.9.1 the only version in which it has happened.

   Thanks--
   NIK

   If you use phpMyAdmin what is the post_title value in the wp_posts table for that post?

   Of course there's the old, "What happens when you deactivate plugins or switch to the WordPress Default theme?"

   the post_data values are correct... they show the updated title, not the original title. I've cleared the cache, but I wonder if perhaps my browser (ff3.5) is outsmarting me somehow. The post title displays correctly when a new theme is applied or some change is made that requires a fresh database lookup... so the problem is apparently related to a cache, not the software. Thanks for your attention!

   Looks like there's a solution here:

   yup, it was a theme issue, not a WordPress issue... I've fixed it, thanks, and made the theme development team aware of it.

   yup-- it's a silly atahualpa theme issue... turns out, that theme actually creates some extra variables for different headlines for posts on different pages, and then doesn't update them and hides the entry fields for updating them... it's annoying, but I got it.
