I have just started using the CMS systems and after looking at the structure, I thought that the theme.html file of the theme I have chosen to use would be all I needed to modify to change simple things. The things I am trying to change are in this case the words for some of the links because they are in the wronge languge. I just wanted them to be in english. I made the changes in a text editor like notepad and saved the html file, but nothing changed. This works on some themes, but not on others. What am I doing wrong on the ones that don't work?

the smarty template layer keeps cached copies of your theme files, so if you make a change and do not see any updates on your site you can clear all the files from the templates_c folder to force smarty to regenerate all templates.

To prevent this issue from occuring at all, turn on "Update module template .html files from themes/your theme/templates directory?" while making any theme changes, as this forces smarty to regenerate its cache whenever it determines the file has changed.

Thank you so very much for the fast responce to my issues. That works great and I told you it was a dumn question.

Thanks so much.
