Makings changes in the index.tpl file dont seem to do anything

[truetaurus]

I have a brand new copy of Prestashop 1.7 with the classic theme.

in the themes\classic\templates\index.tpl I made the following changes:

 

{extends file='page.tpl'}

    {block name='page_content_container'}
      <section id="content" class="page-home">
        {block name='page_content_top'}
            <div style="background-color: red; width: 500px; height: 500px;">hi</div>
        {/block}

        {block name='page_content'}
          {block name='hook_home'}
            {$HOOK_HOME nofilter}
          {/block}
        {/block}
      </section>
    {/block}

Should I then not see that red div i defined on the home page somewhere?

Fixed by setting the smart setting to force compilation
