Why aren't my subpages updating after template edits?

Topic summary

Main issue: In Shopify theme editing, changes to the main layout file (theme.liquid) appear correctly, but edits to other templates—and even renaming those files—do not reflect on the storefront.

Clarification: A staff member asked if the behavior was related to the Translate & Adapt app (used for translating/customizing content by market). The author indicated they are not using it.

Action taken: Because the post was mistakenly placed in the Translate & Adapt forum, it was moved to the Technical Q&A category for more appropriate support.

Status: Unresolved. No root cause or fix identified yet. Awaiting technical/community input to determine why subpage templates are not updating while theme.liquid changes work.

Hey

have a strange issue with template editing:

while editing the main template - “theme.liquid” every change that I make works perfectly.

but when editing any other template, no changes work, even renaming the files.

I am probably doing something wrong, but have no idea what.

thanks

Hi @talush , is this with Translate & Adapt?

have no idea what Translate & Adapt is, so I guess not

No problem. Translate & Adapt is the Shopify app for translating your store / customising content by market - this is its forum. I’ll move the post over to Technical Q&A to see if there’s anyone there who can help you out.
