Category Name not Updating

Question

I seem to be having an issue where EE 1.6.8 doesn't seem to like the changes I'm making to the site.

For example. I've changed a category name from 'Contact / Careers' to 'Contact' but on the site it still shows 'Contact / Careers'. I've cleared browser & server cache, as well as EE cache and it's still doing this.

Looking in the DB shows the category is 'Contact' - So i'm a bit stumped as to where this name is still being pulled from.

Another weird thing... Is if I specify what categories to show using the category="2" tag, it shows 'Contact'!!!!!

What is going on?!

UPDATE:

{assign_variable:weblog="section"}

{embed="includes/head"}

{embed="includes/header"}

{exp:weblog:category_archive weblog="{weblog}" style="linear" show_empty="yes"}

    {categories}

        <h3><span><a href="#" title="{category_name}">{category_name}</a></span></h3>

        <div>

            <div class="tabs{category_id}">
                <ul class="subNav">
                    {exp:weblog:entries weblog="{weblog}" category="{category_id}" sort="asc"} 
                        <li><a href="#{url_title}" title="{title}">{title}</a></li>
                    {/exp:weblog:entries}
                </ul>

                {exp:weblog:entries weblog="{weblog}"  category="{category_id}"} 
                    <div id="{url_title}" class="col-container">

                        <div class="col2 left">
                            {section-left}
                        </div>

                        <div class="col2 right end">
                            {section-right}
                        </div>

                    </div>

                {/exp:weblog:entries}

            </div>

        </div>
    {/categories}

{/exp:weblog:category_archive}  

{embed="includes/footer"}

Answer 1

Take a look here... make sure "Cache Dynamic Section Queries? " is set to "NO"

You can find this setting here in the CP: Admin › Section Administration › Global Section Preferences

It's also possible that your EE cache isn't clearing for some reason so I'd suggest FTPing to the server and manually clearing the cache directories.

Answer 2

Jason - Have a look at any .htaccess within the path of your install. This could be re-writting the urls...

Answer 3

Make sure that the Category Name/Category URL Title has no duplicate. For example, if you have the same category name in two different category groups, that might freak it out perhaps?

e.g. if you have a recipe website, say you have a Category Group called Lunch and another called Dinner. Both could have categories called "Soup."
