Template Changes Not Live

I have double checked my settings, followed the described instructions, and everything possible.

 

But when I make changes to a template that affects specific pages, it is like nothing has happened. 

 

In general, I don't understand what to do after I do all the necessary changes and the template changes are not reflected on the pages other than checking the site structure.

Open Template.dwt file. 

Make changes.  Save & populate changes to child pages. 

Upload child pages & dependant files to your remote server.

Check the live site and refresh your browser (Ctrl + F5 or Ctrl + R).

 

Hope that helps.

If child templates are not refreshed after modifying the templates try to reapply the template to the child page

so to reapply the template drag and drop the template over the child page display:

 

  1. open the child page that doesn’t refresh in display view mode
  2. open the assets panel



  3. select on the left side vertical icon, the templates one (the second to last)
  4. drag and drop the appropriate template over the display view of the opened child page
  5. click the appropriate dialog box that will open.

Are the template changes you making outside of editable regions? When you edit a template you are moving things that are outside of your editable regions, or potentially moving/removing/adding new editable regions so that on the pages using the template you have the appropriate blocks to edit.

 

If you can share the code of what/where you are trying to edit, we may be able to shed additional light on this.
