 * I have made a number of updates in wordpress to my site
    and after 24 hours, 
   clearing the cache history, AND checking with my hosting to see if they were 
   the problem source – i am not seeing the new changes stick to the site.
 *  I have refreshed, logged out, restarted, tried numerous computers and
    the updates
   occasionally show up on different attempts….BUT they are not sticking consistently.
 * Another point I’m noticing is that the updates might be visible in chrome but
   not in firefox or IE.
 * Can you please advise what i should do?

 * Without a URL to your site, it’d be a wild guess.
 * Perchance, are you running a caching plugin?

 * The main one: Text on the home page. I’ve changed the text, uploaded the correct
   file, deleted the old one, double checked the file path – all is in place and
   yet the old text continues to show up.
 * other times – i might change the size of an image and the old image size remains.

 * *blink* Wait… What?
 * Are you editing POSTS or your theme? Can you tell us where you’re uploading this
   file to?

 * no, but now that you mention it – a post might be simpler than the method i’m
   using.
 * right now – the text on the homepage is done in photoshop and then saved as a
   jpg with the background. Then that background is uploaded into wordpress.
 * so yes, in answer to your question – i’m editing my theme.

 * Hi guys – i thought i’d try to rephrase my question for more clarity.
    Apologies
   for the confusion…
 * —
    After making a simple change to my website via wordpress such as switching
   the homepage image, changing logo or adding a sidebar I hit the update button
   and try to access my website via a browser (Safari, Firefox and IE), however 
   the changes are not reflected. I percieved this to be an issue because of me 
   still logged into wordpress, however even after logging out the issue persists.
   Continuous refreshing still yeilds no refresh of content. If i clear my browser
   cache and then try it appears to pick up the latest version. Since, i cannot 
   expect my viewers to do this everytime is there another solution to this issue?
   Can i add some php code to force a refresh of content on the viewers web browser?
 * Long winded but hope you get the gist of what i am trying to get answered and
   at the same time give some perspective to what has already been tried.

 * Ahh.
 * When you make these changes, next time also re-save the css file, see if that
   forces a refresh?

 * Then it’s likely your browser.
 * Also – text shoudl be in posts, not in an image. especially if you are going 
   to keep changing it.
 * that’s kind of the whole point of the software….
