Force compile problems

[musicmaster]

Using PS 1.5.4.1 I have some problems with switching off caching.

 

I am experimenting with my theme and had stored a backup of my theme directory. When I switched back to this backup I get an error from which it seems very hard to escape. In the discarded version I had used a file product-list2.tpl and now I get the Smarty error

 

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'SmartyException' with message 'Unable to load template file 'C:\xampp\htdocs\_uptest/themes/cakeshop/./product-list2.tpl' in 'C:\xampp\htdocs\_uptest/themes/cakeshop/modules/homefeatured/homefeatured.tpl'' in C:\xampp\htdocs\_uptest\tools\smarty\sysplugins\smarty_internal_templatebase.php:127 Stack trace: #0

 

I tried in the performance menu to switch to "force compile" but that doesn't work. As soon as I have pushed the Save button the radio button switch back to "recompile when files have changed".

 

When I do a text search for "product-list2" I see it is still in the cache in files like

 

C:\xampp\host\_test\cache\smarty\compile\0a\9f\30\0a9f30d03cbac0952575910ea83c20dcfc17ff39.file.homefeatured.tpl.php

 

I am wondering whether I should empty this cache directory with all its subdirectories.

Yes delete all files from the cache and compile folder with the exception of any index.php.
