Must be something simple but it has been awhile since I used an old 1.7 version and I cannot trace why any changes to the templates aren’t executed. Save template to files are on, permissions are correct and even in the cp the correctly changed template appears, but simply not on the site. The db is obviously not being changed but where to check the correct settings for that? I checked the config files which all seem to be correct (this is on a local box running MAMP)
Any suggestions?
