How to reset Drupal's content cache / deleted content? - drupal

I'm working with Drupal 7.44. I created some content, but then deleted those articles. However, when I go to add new content, Drupal still recognizes the title of my articles that I deleted (as I'm typing it appears as an autocomplete below the field). I'm not sure if this is still completely stored in the database or if it's just cached somewhere. How do I go about deleting this (preferably without completely having to re-install everything)?
Thanks!!

Administration -> Configuration -> Development -> Performance
and "Clear all caches" shouldn't work?

This was actually a browser cache issue. Using a different browser or clearing the browser's cache did it.

Wordpress: pages are not updating despite emptying caches

I have used the plugin All-in-One WP Migration to get the site from the development environment to the live site (you can export and import a complete website).
Some pages have updated correctly but not all of the pages (they remain in the old style and structure).
I have deleted my browser cache several times (tried several browsers on different computers even), deleted caches created by plugins several times (tried deactivating those plugins as well). However, despite trying to delete all the caches I can think of, some pages are just not updating. As the page templates for these pages do not exist anymore on the server, I am at a complete loss as to what's preventing all the pages from updating correctly.
What am I missing?
May I ask is your site already live? Cause I had the same issue as yours and I manage to get it updated by deleting the cache by "Flush Cache" on my WordPress admin page
Once you logged in to your WordPress admin site you'll find this and click that
Flush Cache
Flush Cache (2)
I am not so sure why that happens but I am thinking it might be because from the server and might need sometime on updating any changes made. It happened to me also when I have some updates on my site then once I save everything and go to my site, still the old ones are being shown but when I Flush Cache then it shows up the new ones... I think the reason because it still shows up the old ones is probably of the cache from the old ones in the server and by flushing them is being able to show the updated ones.

Only a hard refresh will display the updated WordPress site

I cloned a website using the duplicator plugin and made changes to it. When logged in as admin I see the changes but when I use an incognito browser it still shows the cloned version (old version). I can see the changes when I do a hard refresh of the browser, but refreshing again reverts to the old copy. I tried emptying the cache, deleting cookies, deleting cache folder on wp-content but nothing seems to work?
I don't have any caching plugins installed.
The css changes seem to take effect, but the old pages are still loading.
It seems like the pages are somehow cached somewhere.
I had the hosting support check and they updated the A records but it still somehow doesn't fix the issue.
It's in a shared hosting on hostgator
Thank you.
Though this question does not follow guidelines of this forum, but you seem to be freshie. Just check if you are using cache plugin, then disable that for time being unless you follow proper documentation of that plugin and complete know-how about clearing cache.
By any change are you using wp fastest cache or W3 Total Cache plugins.
Please double check you are not using any cache plugins
make sure you dint enabled the cache in wp_config file
define('WP_CACHE', true);

wordpress Front page still showing up an old one

I changed the front page design and content, but the website is still showing the old one. Using Ctrl+F5 only gets me the new page. And it happens every time I enter the site. I tried other computers too and the same, an old version. It happens on other pages too.
The site:
Hi I think some server side cache are enabled for your site. While I test your url with caching checker then it says server level caches are enabled. please contact your server admin
There are two common causes for this issue. The first one is your browser cache. Sometimes your browser will show you a cached copy of your website instead of showing the new one. To resolve this issue, you need to simply hit CTRL + F5 (or Cmd + R in Mac) buttons on your keyboard to reload the page.
The second and most likely cause of this issue is poorly configured WordPress caching plugin. If you are using a cache plugin, then check it's settings and most of the plugin provide an option to exclude home page from caching. Please activate it.

Restore wordpress from local copy

I have a local wordpress backup which is a copy of the main dir from the previous webhost.
I runned the site using wampserver but when I tried to open the index page it said: "Error establishing a database connection".
I think this is because the database is not imported in phpMyAdmin. How can I make this work so I can access the site?
The WordPress database stores all of the site content - Posts, Pages, custom post types, images, and so forth. Unless you have a copy of the database, the files you have will only be useful for setting up the same plugins and theme that were being used on the old host.
There may be a couple of ways to restore your lost content:
Check Wayback Machine - if it's a larger site it may be indexed here, and you can go through page by page and rebuild.
Check Google's cache - if the site was only recently removed from the old webhost, the individual pages may be cached for a time. It would be wise to download as "complete webpage" each page and then go through page by page and rebuild. Same with images - if they've only recently been removed, you may be able to find (possibly lower-resolution) cached versions and download them. To check, do a Google search for site:http://example.com (replace with your URL).
If neither of these exist, you'll need to start from scratch on the content, but you'll have learned a valuable lesson about backing up. :)

Why after updating a custom WordPress theme it doesn't change?

I bought a theme for WordPress and when i try to edit the theme it would not change a thing.
i even deleted images and background from the theme and it somehow still shows up on the page like its being cached somewhere. I cleared my browsers cache and just to be sure i tried to visit the my website on a different computer and the same page shows up.
My question is does WordPress cache images somewhere automatically? if yes is there any way to flush it?
WP doesn't cache anything unless you have any caching plugins enabled. Try disabling all plugins and double checking that the files you deleted are really the ones that you're seeing in your browser.
Right click on any images to get their source then compare them with the path of the image on the server, are they the same?
