# Page will not update

 * I had my wordpress website done by a designer and it was just turned over to 
   me. I am new to wordpress, but have previously developed websites with dreamweaver.
   My problem is, I cannot seem to make a change to a specific page. If I change
   the text or a graphic reference and hit ‘update’, the changes are not reflected
   when I view the page, however if I go back into the code, it is still changed.
   Any ideas? Thanks!

 * Thanks for the reply, but that didn’t work either. Any other ideas?

 * This may sound stupid, but I’ve done it myself so…
 * Are you editing the live site or a sandbox (a version of the site that isn’t 
   live)?

 * It is maintenance mode, but I am clicking on ‘view page’ from the edit screen.
   It seems to work on other pages I have updated, just not one particular page.
   Is there a setting that locks a page in wordpress?

 * BTW, my little purple avatar looks as fustrated as I feel right now, very appropriate.
