Page template cache

    I’m making changes to my “template-blog.php” file, but it doesn’t update :-S

    I don’t have host cache, cache plugins or anything. I also can see any change I make in any part of the theme, except this template.

    This is the template I’m using for the blog posts page, and begins as this way:

    <?php
/*
 * Template Name: Blog
 * Description: The blog post theme page
 */

    Also, when I update the name (like “Blog2” or whatever), it reflects on the page editor, but the rest of the HTML/PHP code doesn’t affect.

    I read this WordPress help, but it doesn’t talk about this bug.

    Isn’t the first time I see this bug. Some years ago, I experienced the same issue, but I don’t remember the fix. Some can help?

    Thanks.

  • What theme are you using? Also, are you trying to use this page template as the template for your blog posts, or for a different static page?

    Hi! I’m using the “Editor” theme, but I’m not using the template on blog posts, just the blog page. You can see the case here:

    In the code, I added the following:
    <h1 class="page-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
    But you can see that changes are not reflecting :-S

    Are you using a static front page? Under Settings > Reading, what are your settings for “Front page displays”? Can you post the entire code for the template in question to someplace like Pastebin and post the link here?

    I’m using a static page in the homepage and blog page:

    I added the code on the lines 12/13 some hours ago (I think 6 hours ago). But is still showing the older version :-S

    Thank you so much, Stephen!

    Sorry, I edited the response. Now is right (homepage uses a default template, and blog uses template-blog.php).

    Ah, I see. Unfortunately, you can’t do what I think you’re attempting to do. When you’re using a static front page, WordPress will always use a file called home.php or index.php to generate the page showing your blog posts. You should make a child theme of Editor, copy index.php to your child theme, and edit that file instead.

    Oh, so WordPress doesn’t consider the template you using in a static frontpage for the blog posts? :-S

    I’ll try your option tomorrow. Thank you very much for helping, Stephen! : )
