  I have amended the link for Facebook to point to our new page, but after updating and saving, the navigation hasn’t updated on the blog page. Why? I have tried different browsers, cleared the cache, and it’s made no difference.

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

  This usually happens because the blog navigation is not being pulled dynamically from the same place where you updated the Facebook link.

  A few possible reasons:

  • Cached navigation / static build: If the blog is statically generated (or uses server-side caching/CDN), the navigation won’t update until the site is rebuilt or the cache is purged.
  • Different menu source: The blog page may be using a separate menu configuration (e.g., blog-specific header/footer), so updating the main site navigation doesn’t affect it.
  • Theme/template override: Some blog templates hardcode or override social links instead of using the global settings.
  • CDN caching (e.g., Cloudflare): Even after browser cache is cleared, the old version may still be served from CDN cache.

  What to check:

  1. Confirm the blog uses the same navigation/menu as the main site
  2. Check if a separate blog menu or footer settings exist
  3. Clear/purge server or CDN cache
  4. If it’s a static site → trigger a rebuild/redeploy

  Hi there, do you mean this link to facebook in the footer of your site?

  

  When I click on it, I’m taken to your group’s page on facebook (temp screenshot)

  If you see something different, please share a screenshot here.

  Or if you meant something else, please give more info. Thanks.

  Thanks, that’s correct, JustJennifer. The screenshot shows that the link is still going to our old page (https://www.facebook.com/MACPARKTMC). I updated it to view the new page ( https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61579355696781), but the link is not updated on the main page. As ahsanali mentioned, it is a static page, and I am using footer settings. So I am going to try to trigger a rebuild/redeploy and see if that fixes the issue.

  I have discovered the issue; the updated navigation was pointing to a different template (not the home template I had updated). All sorted. Thanks for all your prompt replies, I appreciate it.

  menu can still be served from cache.

  You should try clearing the website cache from within WordPress (if you are using plugins like WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, or LiteSpeed Cache) and also purge any server-side or CDN cache if applicable. Additionally, ensure that the correct menu is assigned to the blog page location under Appearance → Menus.

  Another possible reason is that the blog page may be using a different header, template, or menu location than the rest of the site, so the updated Facebook link might not be applied there.

  If the issue still persists, reviewing the theme settings or checking with the hosting provider can help identify if there is a server-level caching delay.

  ahsanali1821142 Did you not read my original post stating that I had already cleared the cache? And the reply that the problem is sorted?
