I'm not sure when this started, but I just noticed that some of my custom page templates do not reflect the changes I make anymore. I have no idea when or why this started happening. For example, if I comment out the header include in myCustomTemplate.php, a page using that template still shows my header. How does this happen?

If I rename the template to something else (and not file name but the actual template name in the php file) and make a change, then a page reflects it.

Page.php does not seem to have this problem either, but I've noticed at least two others do.

Can someone explain what is going on?

Just answered my own question. I noticed I had two templates that were very close in file name (but not exact), but both templates were named the same in the PHP comment, which was messing everything up. I just deleted the rouge template, and now I can make changes to my custom templates, and the changes are reflected on the pages. – Mark Bubel Jul 19 '12 at 23:42
