Section doesn't change after modifying script - wordpress

This is a long shot, but I came to a wall and I don't have any idea what to do with it.
There is a site that has section with Google Maps map with custom pins. Location of the pins and configuration of the map are defined in wp-content/themes/mytheme/js/map.js file. I have to add some pins. According to the person who created the site a couple of years ago, new pins may be added by modifying map.js file.
The problem is - nothing changes when I modify this file. Even better - I can remove this file (and all other scripts in "js" folder) and nothing changes. This is the only instance of a script that I found.
There isn't any caching plugin enabled.
There isn't caching on server.
This is not browser cache.
Basically it seems like instead of loading this script, the site is taking it from different location, but I don't have a clue where it could be. Is there anything I can do to find source location of a script?
EDIT: I deleted all css and js folders entirely from FTP and it still shows in browsers. I entered Chrome web tools and used network tab to see initiator for the script and it shows as
xxxxxxxxxxx.xx/wp-content/themes/xxxxxxxxxx/js/map.js?ver=5.2.10
But this file DOES NOT EXIST. I deleted it via FTP. Same thing happens with CSS files. It isn't browser caching because it happens on different browsers, different computers...

S3 CSS assets not loading, but previously did. Why would it stop?

I've been using S3 to host static websites and I've made changes to the HTML & CSS files and have seen those changes reflected in the past. For some reason I go to do the exact same thing I've done before, change the style of one of my sites, and no change would take place. In-fact after deleting all previous files, the old build was still rendering. I had no version control on that particular bucket.
Content-type is set to 'text/css'. My file structure is normal with index.html being in the root. My normal steps of creating or updating new or existing sites has not changed, but S3 has for some reason.
When I click on the index.html file and go to the public url link, it reflects all my changes.
My only fix is to add the full url to the style link.
<link href="https://s3.amazonaws.com/{bucket-name}/css/style.css">
Does anyone know why this is happening or how to fix it other than adding the http link? If not, I hope my solution helps others for this weird S3 issue. Normally you can just upload your files to a bucket, set the policy and finally enable hosting after stating the root html file.
It might be due to your browser caching, where it's loading locally stored assets (CSS stylesheet) from a previous time you've visited the URL rather than fetching the new resources in an attempt to speed up load times. There are settings you can change in your browser to determine how long your browser will hold onto cached resources before fetching new ones.
By setting the stylesheet link directly to the s3 bucket URL, it will cause it to fetch the new stylesheet every time the page is loaded, which leads me to believe that caching is the issue here.
Try clearing your cache and see if it solves the problem.
Here is a deeper explanation of the concept with respect to browsers, and a list of commands to perform a cache refresh depending on what browser/OS you have!
I think it's the CSS folder's doesn't allow you to access the files inside. If you make the folder public, it will work.
Select all your files and folders, go to actions tab and then select make public to allow objects to access one another.

CSS not refreshing - now deleted, not cached, inexistent - and still loading? How? Why?

I'm working on a Wordpress website and I have styles loaded from two stylesheets - original style.css and style-custom.css for additional style.
Unfortunately whatever I do, the styles do not refresh. I already tried to press Shift+F5 without success.
I've purged the server and browser cache entirely several times (even though it's actually permanently turned off via WP Engine). I've removed appended ?ver numbers to force the update of the file content.
Right now I've even deleted the file and it is still loading in the browser! Even worse - it's loading in all browsers that I have not even ever used on the damn site.
I don't know what else to do. The file is gone and the cache has been purged.
There is definitely some sort of caching mechanism still. Are you developing on your own server? If you try to refresh on somebody else's computer are they able to see the file?
If yes - then you need to contact the servers' administrator, or you hosting provider with clarification.
You should be developing your websites locally though, and once they are ready publish them on the web.

Vaadin Valo Stylesheets

I'm having a problem using Vaadin (in Eclipse) and its associated styling engine Valo, and the TouchKit package. I mention all of these because I'm not sure which, if any, is causing the problem. The name of my custom theme (which imports Valo) is simply "touchkit".
I have the project running on a Tomcat server on localhost and accessible in my browser. I wanted to tweak some of the CSS so I edited the appropriate file WebContent/VAADIN/themes/touchkit/touchkit.scss. After editing this file, I recompile the theme and see the appropriate changes in the generated file styles.css. Then I go to load up the application in my browser, and things get weird.
I can load the page and, using Chrome's developer tools, see that the page requests styles.css for download, as expected. It gets a 200 OK response from the server, but when I view styles.css, it contains just a single \n. This is also true in Safari. Even using cURL to download styles.css yields the same result. In the Eclipse editor, and when I inspect it in the terminal, styles.css is ~12,000 lines long. Why can't my browser or cURL get that data?
I can view similar project demos on Vaadin's own site and the stylesheet (which should be almost identical to mine) is loaded correctly. Also, other Vaadin projects on my localhost server have their stylesheets loaded correctly (though they do not use Valo). Compiling the theme in Eclipse yields no errors. Because the issue presents itself across a variety of graphical and non-graphical clients, I'm starting to think the issue is with Tomcat. But I can get to the directory from which Tomcat serves files and styles.css is correct in that folder too. There's no apparent reason that Tomcat would be serving a blank file.
You may have guessed from the description, but I'm working on a Mac. Any help is appreciated!
PS Mods - I also asked this question over at Superuser since it wasn't 100% a programming question. However, I'm new at Superuser and couldn't create tags for Vaadin or Valo, so I'm asking here where there might be a better chance of getting an answer.
Hard to say, since your are doing everything fine. My best bet would be the tomcat implementation you are using, maybe there's something weird there. Try upgrading to latest if it's not or to a previous version.
FYI I'm using Tomcat 7.0.55.
PS: your attempts are in run/debug from eclipse or have you made a .war form the project and deployed it with the Tomcat-Manager?
Regards
add below to your gwt.xml, and touchkit is not valo aware see https://vaadin.com/forum/#!/thread/8264224/8264223

401 unauthorized error access CSS files MVC

First things first, yes I am fully aware this has been addressed here before, however none of the solutions seem to resolve my issue. My problem is simply that I have created a new web project and everything works fine with the default code template that VS2013 has provided, the problem I am currently runing into is adding my own CSS files. This is the process I went through to add them:
added CSS folder under the already existing Content directory
Linked to CSS files in the header CSHTML (I can be sure it is linked properly as it is not a 404 error
but when i run the project i get: Status Code:401 Unauthorized (pulled form the network explorer in chrome dev tools), nothing more. I have tried everything from modifying my config file to setting WindowsAuthentication to true and even moving NTLM to the top, to going into IIS and giving everyone access to every possible function to the CSS directory, been at this for an hour and I'm simply lost, any ideas?
Edit: if it helps at all this is the erro i get when i navigate to one of the CSS files:
I found the issue and I feel incredibly stupid about it, as it turns out all of my css files had encryption set on, i simply had to turn it off: right-click
*.css file > Properties (General tab) > Advanced button > Encrypt contents to secure data checkbox.
Works like a dream. If anyone ever purchases a template form ThemeForest, be wary of that.

Css files not updating like other files

i am currently hosting my site on justhost (just as a test server), when i save my work on my local computer through aptana the files are automatically uploaded to the hosting server, and they appear fine. However this only works for my actual files like .php and .html
They do not work for my .css files, so if i save them and upload them the changes do not take effect, until like the next day, or if i turn my computer on and off and leave it a couple of hours, i am not sure why they are not taking effect immediately like the rest of the fiels.
I have tried deleting my cache and adding ?ver=1.0 to the end of the file name, but still no luck.
Also, i checked the hosting directly and the css file has updated to the correct version, but just does not show in browser.
Any ideas on what could be wrong, it would make life much easier if i could get them updating like the other files.
Thanks
I can't be sure what is causing this, but if I'm correct - the files do upload, its not a case of not uploading. It's one of these things
The Cache is holding it (already cleared it though?)
The file is doing some odd cross server transfer, depends what sort of hosting your on, but it may be the file is getting held up somewhere
Try clearing the DNS Cache
Start > type CMD > in the dialog type:
ipconfig /flushdns
That may force the computer to reload the file.
As for an ongoing solution to prevent it in the future I'm out...
I know it has been a while, but as others may find this question the way I did, the solution for me was to enable Cloudflare Developer Mode. Cloudflare was keeping the css files in cache and it drove me crazy to find the solution in another forum. I hope your case may be the same as mine as thus you can solve it as well.
