Homepage (frontpage) wont update new posts or any other changes.

Hello.
My homepage won't update new posts, new categories to the primary menu, or any other updates that were done to the front page.
What I've been troubleshooting so far:
1. I've Cloudflare as my CDN provider
2. I'm using WP rocket and tried clear cache
3. Also cleared cache within the web browser
4. Checked that the setting is set to "show the latest post"
Appreciate any support on this one, thank you.
Hi Peter,
Does the server have some sort of page caching? That's worth checking as well. :D
Are the new posts published? Can these new posts be opened?
Also, can you check if there are any pre_get_posts filters used on the site? I can mess up the query.
Let us know.
Hello Elvin.
Thank you for your prompt answer. I've checked both of your suggestions for fixing the problem, unfortunatly it didn't help. It's worth mention that I've already posted around 20 posts and made changes to the homepage(frontpage) before without any problems.
It started around 5 days ago when I published a new post..
Hi there,
can you check with your host regarding the Page Caching, explain the issue you're having and see if they can check there isn't something blocking them from updating? Let us know.
Hello.
I've checked with my domain provider and they don't have any cache on their server. I've also cleared cached on cloudflare without it resolving the problem.
This has also started to affect wrong data from google analytics. When I check my numbers in the google search console and compare them with analytics it's way off. What is strange is that from the start of this problem, google analytics readings have slowly been showing lower traffic from around 250 daily to now 4. I know this is wrong because in the search console it shows 240 users from google alone.
Do you guys have any other solution to this? It's starting to drive me crazy over here!
Whats the date of the latest post you have added ?
Actually, the posts have shown up, but it took around 6-7 days.. And every new post or change to the site does take several days to show.
Checking your site - are you running on an Ezoic server?
As i checked the cloudflare support forums, of which there are several similar topics to this, and one user was running Ezoic, with Cloudflare and a cache plugin:
https://community.cloudflare.com/t/wordpress-homepage-cache-issue-new-posts-are-not-displayed/280085
There was no answer from the OP - but reading through that topic the issue looked to be related to the multiple caches running. And this reply was rather poignant:
Great David. I cleared my cache from Ezoic panel ( Speed --> Settings --> Clear cache)
Thanks alot, have a nice day
Glad to be of help!
