Hello,

I am working within the Blog module to add a few customizations to my site. Interestingly any new HTML or ASP markup that I add to the module will not render at all. While looking in dev tools in Chrome its as if the changes I made never happened at all. I have already cleared the cache and restarted the application, as well as assuring that I am working within the right file. Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be blocking the new markup I want to add? I tested this with a coworker, as well as in our Staging environment and there wasn't an issue so it seems as though it could be a local site issue. Any help would be much appreciated!

Thank you,

Nick

I guess you are changing the templates?
Do you realise they can be placed in the Portal Folder too?
