Changes to footer.php not taking effect, C5 5.4.2.2
Permalink
Alright, I've disabled the cache completely (and cleared it and updated it multiple times), but when I make changes to the footer.php for my theme (simply using default theme), they do not show up on the site, period. I'm only trying to add some additional text to an echo that's already there.
I can see by using different editors (Komodo 8, Dreamweaver) that the footer.php file has been changed, but for whatever reason, they're just not showing up. Using C5 5.4.2.2 (not ready to update, so that's not an option). Changes to any CSS file do appear immediately, however.
Any clues why edits to .php files aren't taking effect? Thanks for any help.

It's a long shot but have you dumped your browser cache too?
Yes, have cleared the browser cache, and have tried using 4 different browsers, still nothing.
Is it possible you are editing the wrong footer file?
No, there's only one footer.php file that actually has all the items in the footer that show on the site (other footer.php files are old and named -copy or similar).
Figured out what the issue was -- even though I'd disabled the cache, what finally ended up working was restarting Apache. Apparently I had some caching enabled there that was holding onto the .php files so that nothing I tried (even renaming footer.php to footer005.php, which should have thrown massive errors) worked until restarting Apache. Now the issue is resolved. *wipes brow*
