#Approval points
Human approval required
- Publishing to the live WordPress site requires a human publish-live approval before it goes public.
#Expected result
What you should see
Approved changes are published live; unapproved changes never go public.
#Common mistakes
- Expecting changes to go live without the approval step.
- Not verifying the live result.
- Forgetting to clear any cache in front of the site.
#Troubleshooting
| If this happens | Try this |
|---|---|
| My change is not live | Confirm the publish request was approved; then refresh and clear any site cache. |
| There is no approval showing | Ensure a user with approval permission exists to decide the publish request. |
#FAQ
Why is there an approval before publishing?
Publishing to the live site is gated by a human publish-live approval so nothing goes public by accident.
Can I edit site sections without publishing to WordPress?
Yes — CMS section content is edited and published within the platform; the WordPress publish-live approval applies to live WordPress publishing.
