    #wordpress question:

    I changed the name of a webpage. I changed it in the WP editor and in the "quick edit" window in the admin area. I updated the slug and all menus with the new page title.

    But the main header menu still lists the old page name and returns a 404. The two footer menus list the correct page title and go to it fine when clicked. It's the main menu and the "Prints" page header menu that have the problem.

    I removed the link entirely from the main menu, but it still showed up.

    This has to be a caching issue, no?

    Other site changes update fine.

    I've purged the Cloudflare cache several times and waited an hour or so, cleared the browser history, tried 3 browsers. Restarted my laptop. Checked on another laptop and phone. Always the same.

    If you go to my site mikaljakubal.com do you see an "Ajo Library Show" link at the top? It's supposed to read "Tucson Library Prints." Does it still take you to a 404?

    This is driving me nuts. TIA

    @Mikal I'm seeing Tucson. Caching these days sometimes is out of your control and it's frustrating as hell. Usually checking it on a device that's on a different ISP is the best bet.

    Caching can now happen at these levels:
    WordPress
    Hosting provider
    Cloudflare if you're using it
    Your ISP
    Your browser

    Only the first and last one are under your control.
