I uploaded files to my website few days ago. There were few errors to be fixed so I had to delete my files and uploaded updated version. somewhat I still see the old version of my page but not the new one. Desperately in need of help to fix this issue. Thanks a bunch in advance!
i tried to delete the filed multiple times and uploaded again but no changes happened. I also tried to view it on a firefox and safari but still the same. However, if I go live from VSCODE I can see the changes but not on the website
A couple of ideas:
(a) On your website, use a file manager tool to look at one of the files that was changed. Are the changes extant on the server? On a cPanel system, use the File Manager tool and click on one of the uploaded/changed files. There is an EDIT button on the top "toolbar" that will allow you to view the file.
(b) In your HTML, you might still be loading a cached version of the changed file, so the changes will not be visible to your browser. To fix that, add a query string to the end of the src attribute. For example,
From:
<script src="myfile.js"></script>
To:
<script src="myfile.js?123abc"></script>
Any time you change that 123abc value in your HTML, the document will be re-read from the server and not just fetched from cache.
This trick works for any type of file that is loaded from the file system, e.g.:
<img src="myupdatedlogo.jpg?asdf" />
