Existing templates not updating after changing hosts
Development and Programming
I recently moved my EE site to a new host, and everything seems to be working… except that when I edit an existing template, the changes aren’t reflected on the site. The edits are saving correctly, just not being displayed. I’ve tried clearing all caches, but nothing changes. If I create a new template I can edit it and see the changes as expected, and if I edit individual entries those changes are shown as well, just not edits to existing templates. Is there some other form of caching I’m missing?
The first things I’d check if you’ve moved the site to a new host:
- Are paths correct? (i.e. not still pointing to the previous host/staging/dev server)
- When you view the “live” site are you viewing the wrong URL (i.e. staging/dev server, I’ve done this before!)
That was my thought too, but I was able to confirm that the database being updated was the new one, which should rule out any path issues since I’m seeing entry updates on the live site — just not updates to existing templates.
