Hello everybody,
I'm at my wits' end working all week trying to find the cause and resolution for this problem.
I've added a "Music & Audio" page to my website, and was able to update the menu to include it. The issue is this:
The menu shows "Music & Audio" properly, on every page as long as I'm logged in to my site editor.
However, when I'm logged out browsing my website, the home page is missing the newly added page.
I've created a custom menu and selected it for use in the header, and I am unaware of any setting that might exist that allows the frontpage/homepage in WordPress to show properly when in the site editor but not when logged out.
I was curious if this was a caching issue w/ my hosting service, so I manually cleared / flushed all cache and the issue persists.
Testing further, I had tried creating a couple more pages and adding them to the header menu, and the same behavior occurs… basically, my homepage will NOT show anything in the menu other than "About Me", "Books", and "Media Links & Contact." Click any one of those pages however, and the full menu appears.
At this point if I don't find the solution I may have to resort to drastic further testing like switching themes or disabling plug-ins :/
I'd be grateful for any assistance. Thanks in advance 🙏
P.S. Upon grabbing screenshots, I noticed my recent update of including my name at the bottom of the About Me page… isn't showing up either, when logged out of my site editor. 😕

Oh good GRAVY.
Just after posting this, I happened upon another article online that when using wordpress through many hosting services, the “clear cache” buttons in WordPress do NOT work, and I would have to manually empty the cache folders from my hosting service’s file manager!
I did.
“wp-content/cache” was the suggested location, but it ended up being a large number of cache folders from back in April this year, with the word “cache” in them.
I wiped all folders within wp-content that contained the word “cache” and reloaded my page on another computer.
Instantly fixed.
**sigh** Now I can finally sleep.
I love when fixes are that simple. Thanks so much for posting your solution.
Happy Wednesday.
