Why isn’t my change showing up?

If you’ve made a change and it’s not showing up on the website, that’s probably due to one or more of the following reasons:

1. If it’s a post, did you select one or more categories? Many of the pages on this website use categories to determine where items are displayed. If you created a blog post, for example, but didn’t choose the appropriate blog category, it won’t show up in your blog.

2. Did you click the Publish or Update button once you were done making changes?

3. Did you click the “Refresh” button on your browser?
