Not seeing any changes to my templates

Ugh, I am just trying to make a simple change to a template and it's not taking. I've been able to do this before no problem. (Ages ago, though.)

I've got the "check templates for modifications" option set in general settings. On that same screen, I've got the correct theme selected, and the correct template set.

I edit my templates in the Template Manager and I've tried doing this with and without regenerating files, and the changes do not show. I've checked the source and they don't show there, either. Yet, when I view the files via FTP, the source code changes show up fine. I've tried different browsers and clearing the templates_c folder. Nothing is working.

What am I missing? XOOPS 2.5.5

please look at the subfolder of your theme folder

/yourtheme/modules/...
maybe there is already a template defined for your module and it is overriding your changes

We've got to be getting closer. I edited those templates I found in the module's theme as well which was a great suggestion, but my changes still aren't showing. Like I mentioned I have two template sets in the system. One is called default, and the other I called "clone." When I edit these files over FTP, am I editing the "clone" set or the default? How do I make sure I'm editing the "clone" set?

Yes, cache is completely disabled for all of my modules in preferences.

Ok I did that and sadly the changes did not show. Any more ideas? Thank you for your help so far.

Re: Not seeing any changes to my templates

I have encountered this problem. I solved it by changing my folders location xoops_data and xoops_lib. Place them outside the root. I have also renamed them.

Remember to specify the new path in the file mainfile.php.

In the Preferences Administration (Preferences> System Options> General settings), you must also remember to check "Yes" to line "Check templates for modifications?".
