Editing tpl files in prestashop doesn't seem to do anything

I have "Advanced Homepage Product List" Module installed in prestashop. In the configuration, I am using "Your Template Style", I tried to edit /var/www/html/modules/prodcat/views/templates/hook/prodcat.tpl

it seems to be the one being used because it has 

<div class="block products_block clearfix">

and

 <h4 class="title_block" style="margin-bottom:0px; ">

which appear when i use inspect element on the website. Haven't seen any other files that are similar to this.

I tried to edit it. Like remove the <h4> element but it doesn't seem to do anything. Am I edting the wrong file? or do i have to do something inorder for my changes to take effect?

Solution

  • final answer, when you edit tpl/js/css files, after edit is done, you need to go into backoffice tab Advanced parameters -> Performance and press Clear cache button.

    or

    if you will have ongoing changes during some time period you can set Samrty cache option in e.g. Recompile templates if the files have been updated state.
