Weirdest Plugin bug ever - invisible files

    I’m having major issues with a really strange bug with plugins.

    I needed to make a minor change to a plugin, so I edited it, saved it and refreshed the page. No change. Added some debug lines. Still nothing. Deleted the file altogether. Still no change - but the output of the plugin was still there!

    Since then I have tried:

    - Disabling all extensions (no change)
    - Creating a new test plugin (no output from it, it’s as if it doesn’t exist)
    - Renaming the original plugin to something else (no output from the renamed version, but the old name still gives the old output)

    It’s as if the templates are getting the plugins from a different folder - but that can’t be the case as they don’t exist anywhere else! I checked the value of the PATH_PI constant and it is correct.

    What’s even weirder is that the Plugin Manager list is correct - so it showed my new test plugin and the renamed version. It’s only when I try to use it in the template that it refuses to let go of the old output.

    Hope someone can help me out here, as it’s driving me mad.  :ahhh:

    Gah, always the way that just after you post for help you figure it out on your own. I had duplicate code in a separate function. Please delete.
