Problems with page edits being accepted

Permalink
Since I have updated to 5.5.2, I often have the problem that page edits don't "take". Sometimes I have to redo the edit 5 or 6 times before it actually appears after hitting Publish. What is up with that? In previous versions this never happened. In one case I have uploaded the software several times because it never took edits.

I would appreciate any insights!

Sounds like it might be a caching issue to me. When developing a site, I always turn the C5 cache off. Go to Dashboard->Systems and Settings->Cache and Speed Settings and turn off Basic and Full Page caching. Also, turn off the caching in your browser(s). Firefox and IE have options to do this but Chrome is trickier. To disable Chrome's cache, right-click on the shortcut that you use to starts Chrome, choose 'properties' and add this at the end of the "Target" field:

' --disk-cache-size=1 --media-cache-size=1'

(don't forget the space at the beginning and don't add the quote marks).

Even after all this, I still hit CTRL-F5 to refresh my pages and I still have to manually clear the browser cache sometimes.

Even if this doesn't solve the specific editing problem you asked about, this set-up is sure to save you headaches in the future.
