Title: Recently published changes not taking effect Last modified: August 31, 2016 --- # Recently published changes not taking effect * [MikeSingleton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikesingleton/) * (@mikesingleton) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/recently-published-changes-not-taking-effect/) * Recently published changes are only showing up when I visit my site from Word Press Admin and are not showing up when checking the site from other computers. I have tried installing a cache plug in and emptying all cache but still not working.

On the home page I changed the name of the chair from Mike Singleton to Paul McDowell and 2. on the News and Events page it should show a new post titled Healthy Minds Healthy Bodies. * These changes both show up correctly if I access my site from WordPress admin and the pages have been “updated”, but they do not show up if I access direct from my browsers or other computers. * [lisa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/contentiskey/) * (@contentiskey) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/recently-published-changes-not-taking-effect/#post-7334980) * -which plugins are installed? -are all plugins updated? * Thread Starter [MikeSingleton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikesingleton/) * (@mikesingleton) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/recently-published-changes-not-taking-effect/#post-7334981) * Black Studio TinyMCE Widget Favicon by RealFaviconGenerator Google Analytics Dashboard for WP Meta Slider Ninja Forms Page Builder by SiteOrigin SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle W3 Total Cache WP Simple Anchors Links Yoast SEO * Yes They are all updated.

It does this so that the server behind the website can send the _saved_ content to the user without having to process it. Normally the server would have to run database queries to retrieve content. Caching gets around that, that’s how it speeds up your website. * Thread Starter [MikeSingleton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikesingleton/) * (@mikesingleton) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/recently-published-changes-not-taking-effect/#post-7334986) * Right, but I thought Flushing or emptying the caches would load refreshed pages. Note: I was having this problem before I installed the Cache plugin.

They say it seems to be due to the mod security rule getting triggered while updating the changes. Awaiting resolution.
