I save all my templates as files.

Am I correct in assuming that editing a template group name will only change that name internally in EE, and will not change the physical name of the folder on disk?

I will need to change the physical folder name on disk to match the change I make in EE - correct?

Please advise, thanks.

I would think so, too. That said, what happens when you try it?

Hi Ingmar

I don’t want to try it untested because it’s a live server.

I was hoping there would be some mention in the docs that you would know of (I tried looking but couldn’t see anything).

OK, I tried it on a local server.

What happens: If you change the name of the template group within the control panel, the resulting backend folder name doesn’t change.

But if you resave the file, EE creates a new folder with the new template name. The old one is still there.

Does that help?

Thanks Sue!

Added to docs.

Thanks for adding that. Don’t hesitate to post again as needed.
