Phpbb3 cache issues
I have a problem with template caching in phpbb3. I made changes to the template in the admin dashboard and saved it, and then cleared the template cache via the "clearing cache" and I don't see the changes reflected in the forum, but this change was saved in the admin dashboard. Then I edited the template file manually (not through the admin control panel) and downloaded the modified template file and deleted all files from the cache directory and I still don't see any changes. can anyone tell me if there is somewhere else that cache files are stored? also when I try to delete the cache for a specific file via the admin control panel in the styles section and select the "cache" link the page says it has been removed but the cache seems to remain. can anyone tell meif there is more than one location where cache files are stored? thoughts ??

I realize this is a very old post, but I had the same problems this weekend, so I apologize for returning ...
If you are editing a style from ACP and phpBB3 cannot write to the entire style folder, it copies the entire style to the database, where it now overrides files on the server. The Clear Cache button will now revert to the version stored in the database
To fix this, go back to the ACP where you edited the style and click the Export button to get the modified version of the style in the file version, then click the Update button. This will downgrade the style database version.
Now, since you probably need these changes, replace the style files with the ones you just downloaded. Make further changes to these files, again, clear your cache and stay away from the "Edit" button in the ACP, if only you are not going to edit styles.
