changed names of menu items, but not visible unless logged in Topic is solved

[annette22]

Hi there,
Joomla 4.4.10 : changed the names of 2 items in my main menu, but there are not visible in frontend, unless I am logged in (with any of the registered id's).
changes are visible in yootheme's preview, though.
Emptied browser cache, tried on another browser, but still the same.
It's been an hour, still no change.

Any idea ? what could be the link between beeing logged in and the change to be visible ?

Did you set them as "Registered"? That would be one explanation of visible menu items for logged on users but not if they were not logged on. Try changing the permission for the menu items to "Public"?

I think if you're a super user logged on with such an account everything is visible including unpublished items etc.

Same with previewing, with super user access, everything would be visible since a SU is not a normal registered user.

Hi there,
@AMurray, solved. It was not a matter of rights (I had checked all that). This morning the changes display on the frontend, meaning it "just" took some time to implement (and apparently not a question of cache). Very unusual, though, still d'ont see why. But at least it's working !
thanks for your time !

Probably because you have enabled the System Page Cache Plugin.

@Per Yngve Berg,
thanks. I've deactivated the Cache plugin, and now my pages are updated on time.
I'm gonna go deeper into cache info, cause this episode shows me I don't know how to use it.
Best regards

One use case (I suppose the most common) is caching is best used for pages where content doesn't often change, i.e. mostly static content so the cache allows faster page loading. I think that's also the idea behind services like Cloudflare, where they store a "static" copy of your site on a server closer to your users, again allowing faster load times but is only really of benefit of static content rather than dynamic.

See https://docs.joomla.org/Cache for further details.
