Hi guys!

I hate myself for asking this - I swear I tried searching for it, but have been out of the loop so not sure I'm searching things correctly.

I was dumb with my custom profile_header.tpl and included my meta.tpl and header.tpl file, even though meta.tpl is already included in header.tpl...so on my profile pages, it's causing issues because there's two sets of head tags. NO changes that I make to profile_header.tpl now appear in my profiles. If I delete profile_header.tpl, then I can see the profiles get all crazy, but when I upload the corrected version, it goes back to using the previously bad version. This is all over FTP, too, not the built in editor.

Tried clearing caches, checked logs, and everything else I can think of, and am at a loss now :/

Thanks!

Kyle

Sounds like you might have customized in the ACP -> - go the "templates" tab for the skin and make sure the profile_header.tpl file is NOT active there.

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks!

Ahh thanks man! I checked the templates, and it does not say it's active (there's no active checkbox). However, when I click to modify the template, though, it shows the old (bad) code. I know I can make the change through the ACP to the template, but is there any way I can force it to refresh based on the contents of the actual file?

Thanks!

Ahh - figured it out! Compare will let you replace custom templates with whatever's in the tpl - NICE! Love the diff view, and the ability to compare with the same template in other skins! Awesome!
