Is the file really called "template_ounces_info.php"? It should be template_info.php and stored in includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/.

Thanks SO much everyone. I switched the name back and now it shows up!

FYI - I was following along in the sticky "Customisation_-_Templates_-_Customizing." Step 9 reads, "Copy (said file) to your working template folder and update it's name."

"Update" to me meant rename...but maybe I misunderstood.

Anyways, thanks again!

By "update it's name." (which should be "update its name", btw), the writer meant the editi the name inside the file, not the name of the file itself, but the sentence is definitely unclear.

Glad you got it working.

*LOL* afo

I hate when people "apostrophize" plurals (ie logo's instead of logos) *LOL*.

There is a great book called "Eats, Shoots and Leaves" about grammar. *LOL*

wysiwygmn, the file names themselves must stay the same as the "source" files you're overriding. What changes is the information inside the files and the directory names are "custom."

Despite the fact that I've been working as a programmer for over 20 years, my degree is in English, not computers, so stuff like that is fingernails across a chalk board to me. I've heard of Eats, Shoots and Leaves, but haven't picked up a copy. I should.

Another of my pet peeves is their, there and they're.

I'll stop now.
