Component update on all pages

Support
#1

Hello,
I work a lot with components, but I regularly encounter problems whenever I modify one.
Two examples:

  • I add an option to a select box, but when I return to the component on a page, it displays the default value in a text field.
  • Just today, I modified a component by changing a photo and moving a graphic element (absolute position), but when I return to the component on a page, it displays the new image correctly, but the graphic element is not displayed with the correct properties (absolute). To fix this problem, I have to save the page, without even changing anything on it.

Any tip?

Hello @cpennetier,

Thanks for writing to us.

This issue is often caused by aggressive caching. Please clear all caches from your caching plugin. If you’re using a server-level cache or CDN (such as Cloudflare), be sure to clear those caches as well. Alternatively, you can temporarily enable Developer Mode (especially in Cloudflare) while testing to prevent cached assets from interfering. Please check for plugin conflicts by temporarily disabling plugins one by one to identify the source of the issue. If you’re using a child theme, make sure the parent theme is active while testing.
For more general troubleshooting steps, you can also refer to this guide:

If it doesn’t work for you, please share your details in a secure note. Please provide the following details

  • WordPress Login URL
  • Admin-level username and password
  • Exact page URL

Hello,

The site is in the development phase and no cache plugins are enabled.
I am using a child theme; the parent theme is not “really” active.
In terms of plugins, I am very limited:

  • Advanced Custom Fields PRO
  • ALTCHA: Spam Protection
  • Complianz | GDPR/CCPA Cookie Consent
  • Contact Form 7
  • WPMasterToolKit Pro
  • Yoast SEO

I tested disabling all plugins and it does not change the behavior of the components when making changes.
Should I disable the pro child then?

Note when testing a section where I give the option to:

  • modify the H2 text
  • modify the paragraph text
  • modify the CTA text
  • modify the CTA link

No changes to components on the page when:

  • I add a background colour to the h2
  • I change the background colour of the section

Component updates (expected behaviour) when:

  • I change the H2 to H1
  • I add margins to certain elements
  • I add additional elements (but then my H2 and basic paragraph change to black, even though they are set to white).
