WordPress Changes Not Showing Up? Caching Checklist (7.1)

WordPress changes not showing up? Find which layer serves the old page, from browser to page cache to block theme template, and clear only that one.

WordPress site health warnings sorted by real risk: which critical issues to fix today, which to leave, and why one warning turns the status orange.

WordPress AI: what data is sent, when, and who controls it. A plain map of Connector requests in WordPress 7.1.2, plus the checks to run first.

Locked out, so "deactivate your plugins" is useless advice. Renaming the plugins folder from your host's file manager, and how to undo it cleanly.

Recovery Mode depends on your site being able to send mail, which is exactly what often fails. Where the link goes, and the three ways in without it.

Deactivating plugins one at a time is the slow way. Halving finds the culprit among thirty plugins in about five checks. The method, and the trap.

A debug log is mostly noise. Three rules for finding the line that matters, and why the file named in the error is often the victim, not the cause.

WP_DEBUG on its own prints errors to your visitors. The three-constant setup that logs quietly instead, and the step most guides leave out.

Half-broken is not a smaller version of fully broken. It is a different fault with a different first step. How to tell which half you have.

Most WordPress damage is done during the fix, not by the fault. A fixed order for finding the cause first, with a written change log you can undo.
