Revert Pages to Draft

    I unpublished a few pages from my website, reverting them back to drafts, but they have not fallen off the menu of my website. They can still be accessed. Why is this? Does it take time for them to unpublish? They are listed as drafts again in my edits, but they are still showing up on my website.

    WP.com: Yes
    Jetpack: No
    Correct account: Yes

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    I’ve noticed the Help section asks me to go clear my cache in WordPress through my settings, but I have been through every tab in my settings, and tools, and nowhere is there an option to clear my cache.

    Hi there, if you are still able to access those unpublished pages through the menu, try clearing your browser’s cache. https://wordpress.com/support/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache

    It might also be that you created a Custom Menu on your theme (Hemingway Rewritten) and those pages need to be removed from the menu manually. https://wordpress.com/support/menus/delete-a-menu/#remove-a-menu-item-using-customize

    If that still doesn’t clear the issue for you, post back here with the title of one of the unpublished pages that still appears in the menu.

    Clearing my browser cache yesterday did not work, so I tried the manually removing the pages from my menu option and that worked! They’re sitting in my drafts but no longer showing up on my website. Thank you very much!
