I recently installed Silverstripe. I unpublished a few pages right of the bat - the About Me page and the Contact Us page. I'm going to publish them again in a little while after I get the content straightened out.

The problem is, they are still visible on my website.

How do I get rid of them?

This is what I've tried so far:

1. I tried publishing them again and then unpublishing them.
2. I tried the flush, followed by dev/build followed by flush
3. I tried flush by itself
4. I tried dev/build by itself.

I just can't get them to disappear. What's up?

Are you still logged-into your website?

When you're still logged-in to your SilverStripe project, any pages you've removed from the live site but still exist in the Site Tree will still appear on the site as Draft pages. Try logging-out or use the Incognito Mode in Google Chrome to see the site when it's not logged-in. Administrators have the ability to view the draft site, so you would be viewing the site in a mode where both live and draft content appear.

Yell out if that doesn't solve your problem! :)

Cheers,

Thanks Stephen. I had tried logging out and viewing the site and that did not help right away.

What I discovered was that I needed to clear my browser cache in order to see the site fresh. I was using Google Chrome and it was caching the page and not updating it even when I specifically reloaded the page with command-R or hitting the refresh button.

Maybe create a folder in the root of your project, name it silverstripe-cache. This way you have better control over the caching of your site. So when it gets a little glitchy again, just purge the contents within the silverstripe-cache folder. :)

I had a feeling it may have been a browser cache thing - happened to me several times.

Are you all goods now? Or still occuring problems even after clearing your browser cache?

Thanks Stephen
