Changes to index.php have no effect

  • I only have one theme installed, default, and when I make changes to index.php either with the theme editor or manually with notepad and FTP… nothing happens. No matter what I do to the index.php file nothing changes on my site.

    All I am trying to do is simply change this:

    <?php comments_popup_link(‘No Comments »’, ‘One Comment »’, ‘% Comments »’); ?></p>

    To this:

    <?php comments_popup_link(‘Post a new Comment »’, ‘1 Comment »’, ‘% Comments »’); ?></p>

    Nothing I do to the index.php file makes any difference. How do I change my sites main template/index.php?

    Please help!

    The site is not relevant. I can DELETE index.php from /content/themes and still nothing changes. Is index.php cached somehow in 2.5 or otherwise impervious to changes?

    I’m having the same issue, and it would be pointless to link the site but here it is anyhow https://www.thenorik.com/test_blog

    Any changes i make to index.php don’t happen when i refresh, even after emptying the cache, the only time they update is when i change the theme to something else and back to the original. I deactivated all my plugins, as well, no luck.

    has anyone found a solution to this yet? i’m having the same problem, though with header.php — the results of my edits showed up once on my site, but subsequent changes, while saving successfully, are not showing up. i’ve tried clearing my browser cache, but am new to wordpress in particular and blogging in general, and don’t know what other things to try…

    thanks,

    never mind, the culprit was WP Super Cache. found out how to clear it (Settings > WP Super Cache > Cache Contents: Delete Cache), and that seemed to fix the problem.
