Hello guys, new to wordpress. I am creating an eshop and selected Astra theme from Spectre. In the theme editor I set everything up and when viewing the website as an admin it looks and works as it shoud.
The problem appears when I log out or try to view it from different device. It seems as the theme is not being applied. I only see the default main page and it does not redirect me anywhere. The same persists even if I change the theme.
I tried reverting to older versions, tried disabling plug ins, tried applying other themes, tried changing site visibility to coming soon and back to live, but this didn’t fix the problem.
I believe that there is some selction I am missing out on, but since I am new to wordpress hope you would helm me.
I would guess it’s a caching issue, either at the server or network level. You can try a quick cache bust to check.
When logged out visit:
[your-site.com]/?nocache=1
Obviously replace with your domain. If the site changes are visible, you know it’s a caching issue.
If it’s a caching issue, you can try:
– First, disable any caching / site speed improving plugins. Only activate those when ready to launch.
– Check inside your hosting account for ways to clear your cache. Most that offer it have a way to clear it easily from your dashboard.
– [Astra has its own caching system](https://wpastra.com/docs/clear-astra-cache/), so try clearing that as well.
– If you’re using a CDN (or if your host includes one like Cloudflare automatically), make sure to clear that as well.
– Finally, make sure your local network isn’t caching. Jump off your WiFi & try to visit the site through a different Internet connection. If it loads, then you need to clear your router cache.
