Hey everyone, I got a weird issue on my site now...

My modifications stopped working. They get updating in the storage/modification folder but don't get served when I visit my site so I'm guessing the OC is serving the non modified files to visitors

Why would this happen?

All modifications?
just one?
to controller/model or view?

Hey after looking more into it... it's not all modification that aren't working, only some.. Lots of them have stuff to do with footer/header. Mods for the backend seem to work. But some mods for the frontend do not. This all happened after I uninstalled quite a few extensions and modifications wanting to remove stuff that was cluttering up my website.

PS its as if my site is serving a lot of files from storage/modificaitons... But header/footer files that its serving are not modified. Header/footer files in the storage/modification folder have all the modifications applied to them but I don't think they are being sent to visitors.

For example this simple custom CSS and JavaScript mod stopped working, none of the custom CSS I add now is showing up on the frontend:
https://www.opencart.com/index.php?rout ... n_id=36586

Also this simple cart alert extension stopped working:
https://www.opencart.com/index.php?rout ... er=letscms

Even this simple OCmod I made stopped working:

Code: Select all

    <file path="catalog/view/theme/*/template/common/header.twig">
        <operation>
            <search>
                <![CDATA[
<li><a href="{{ contact }}"><i class="fa fa-phone"></i></a> <span class="hidden-xs hidden-sm hidden-md">{{ telephone }}</span></li>  ]]>
            </search>
            <add position="replace">
                <![CDATA[ 
<li><a href="{{ contact }}"><i class="fa fa-phone"></i> <span class="hidden-xs hidden-sm hidden-md">{{ telephone }}</span></a></li> 
]]>
            </add>
        </operation>
    </file>

Did you use the theme editor on those twig files?

WOOOOW!

This whole time that's all it was!!! Some extension (have no clue which one) edited my common/header file in backend under: Design --> Theme Editor

I don't think I would have ever figure this out if @nonnedelectari didn't mention it above.

Thanks a freaking million times
