[SOLVED] Editing of all files (.tpl, .css, etc.) not visible on front end

[bobbything]

So, I've searched this forum for an answer and have tried all the recommended fixes to no avail.  Basically, when I make a change to any file (tpl, css, php, whatever)...the changes don't reflect on the front end.

 

I've tried Force Compile, I've turned Cache off, I've combined both, I've emptied smarty/cache and smarty/compile, I've cleared my browser history and tried it on another computer.  Nothing works.

 

I've even tried deleting files altogether and the site still shows as normal.  Currently, I have the #header with display:none as a test, but the header still shows.

 

Working in PS 1.5.4.

This just started tonight when I added some code to the product-list.tpl file.  I'm working in a theme and have checked elsewhere for other possible paths to the same-named files, but there isn't anything except in the default theme (which I even tried changing as well).

 

Any help is much appreciated.  Thanks.

 

EDIT: I figured out the problem.  It had nothing to do with caching...my version of FileZilla was all jacked up and wasn't actually uploading anything to the server.  My apologies.
