Is this a glitch?

Question

I recently changed the direct line of one of my ancestors when it was discovered that we had the wrong marriage record. Anna Naeschke was my 5GGM when I thought her daughter Maria was my 4GGM.  https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Naeschke-2

I came across the profile a few days ago and noticed it still shows the 5GGM image when I access it and when you click it the relationship path still goes down to me.  

I believe I have detached all the right people and when I click on my 4GGM Maria Rawolle, she has no mother attached only a father.  So why is this path showing from Anna Naeschke?

Is this a glitch of some kind.  I waited a few days thinking it might correct itself but it hasn't seemed to,

Answer 1

Hi Veronica.  The Relationship Finder is not showing any relationship between Coat-12 and Naeschke-2.  Could you perhaps be seeing the relationship through the Browser Extension app?  I have no idea how/when that updates, but seems like it shouldn't take days.

I actually changed the tree back in August 2023 so that she was no longer my ancestor.  The actual change was to her daughter Maria.  I can see that the relationships are all correct but can't understand why the 5GGM still appears.  Its only a couple of days since I came across the profile again.

It doesn't appear on her husband who was previously my 5GGF or her daughter.  It is very weird.

It doesn't really matter if only I am seeing it, but I was wondering if was part of a wider problem?

What sort of browser are you thinking of - I have the 3 Wikitree extensions loaded, browser extension, sourcer and Bee?

I was thinking of the add-on browser extension that has a function to display a person's relationship to you in a shaded. box with green outline when you are logged in.  It's at the top of the profile right under the person's name in bold type.  It was just a guess, otherwise I don't know what it might be.

Answer 2

The feature you are looking at is from one of the browser extensions. Those store the relationship information the first time you visit a page so it doesn't have to request that information each time the page is accessed.

You will have to refresh the data -- have you tried clicking the button with the arrows in a circle that is next to the "5th GGM" button?

Yes I did that.  It spins but then returns.

What if Veronica disabled the Distance and Relationship feature in the WikiTree Browser Extension, closed the profile, then re-enabled the extension feature and reopened the profile?  Would that force a refresh?

I disabled distance and relationships and the family timeline, but neither seemed to have an effect.  Does it take time to update?

Veronica, at this point I would try killing the browser and restarting it.
