micropulse FAQs

There are common problems that might occur while using a content management system, such as:

Can't see the latest changes.

First make sure that you have clicked on Save, then on Generate HTML.  These 2 steps ensure that the content and menu items are saved into a file on the web server, then the HTML pages need to be regenerated by the program before you can see your changes.

You've clicked save and Generate HTML in the menu and content edit program but still can't see the latest changes made to the website when you preview it.

This is because your browser is remembering the old page contents (it has the page stored locally on your computer and is calling up this version).  You need to force it to re-read the page from the web server.  This is also referred to as clearing the cache.  You can bypass the cache with Ctrl+F5 for Firefox and Safari and Shift+F5 for Internet Explorer or Shift+Ctrl+R.  If you find that you are constantly needing to refresh, try the following also.
