Website update showing Old files
Quote from CSSystems on December 11, 2025, 11:50 pmI am very confused (again :).
I have made several colour changes to a website.
Updated using Filezilla as before, but shows old files using Chrome.I have had this happen before but once I cleared the Browsing history the correct files were displayed.
Didn't work this time so I looked at deleting the Cache of images and files.Still no luck. Don't know what could be happening. I had tried difference browsers and not change.
Any ideas?

There are really only three possible explanations:
- You are viewing a cached version of the site.
- You have accidentally uploaded an older version of the files.
- The files you uploaded did not replace the previous ones, for some reason.
Keep in mind that, depending on your hosting setup, files (especially CSS files) may be cached on the server side, regardless of browser cache clearing.

As Lui suggested make sure that FileZilla in did re wrote the new files over the old ones. I use SmartFTP without problems. If you have filemanager in your host try to replace the files from there.

I will have to pay close attention to the Filezilla settings.
