I am building a new site using EE 6.06. I got everything set up with fields, channels, templates, partials, etc. and I was able to use my favorite IDE to edit the content, but when I sat down to work today that connection no longer works. When I create new templates they do not show up in the Templates folder on server side and when I make any edits to existing templates on my side and try to upload them, the server does not recognize the changes. Template folder permissions is set to 777.

I checked in phpMyAdmin and new templates appear in the database but they do not show up in the Template files.

Fortunately I can edit in the EE control panel, but the convenience of editing in my IDE is lost.

Any clues what the solution to this dilemma might be? I have been building EE sites for more than ten years and have never seen anything like this.

It looks like you do not have preference set to save templates as files. Add this to your config.php

$config['save_tmpl_files'] = 'y';

  • Yuri, thank you for the help on this. I reviewed my config.php file and discovered that I had actually duplicated $config['save_tmpl_files'] = 'y'; and the last reference had it set to 'n'. Alas user error :(
