How to add class name to a block in prestashop 1.7

Question

I'm currently using prestashop 1.7.4.3, I need to edit the header.tpl file in the _partials . I barely know about this framework.

My problem is:

What I attempted: Tried to add a custom class name for the header logo

 <div class="col-md-2 hidden-sm-down hlogo" id="_desktop_logo"> {if $page.page_name == 'index'} <h1> <a href="{$urls.base_url}"> <img class="logo img-responsive" src="{$shop.logo}" alt="{$shop.name}"> </a> </h1> {else} <a href="{$urls.base_url}"> <img class="logo img-responsive" src="{$shop.logo}" alt="{$shop.name}"> </a> {/if} </div>

As you can see I have added hlogo a custom class to the header logo and I tried display:none in my custom.css

My problem is: The newly added class name is not updated in the front office.

Guide me if I made anything wrong!

Answer 1

As I said before, try clear your cache

To clear cache: Go to Back office Configure/Advanced Parameters/Performance/Clear Cache

You can find the clear cache button in the top right corner in the back office.

Also you can clear cache manually from root_folder/var/cache/dev/smarty/cache

If the problem persists to continue re-check the file you are editing make sure you are editing the correct theme's files

Answer 2

As Viira said, you need to clear your cache. You can do this within your admin panel by going to Configure -> Advanced Parameters -> Performance and press button Clear cache(right top corner) or you can delete it forcibly by clearing folders root_folder/var/cache/dev/smarty/cache and root_folder/var/cache/dev/smarty/compile .

And also it's better to turn off Cache and turn on Template compilation until you will not finish all your customizations. You can do this in Configure -> Advanced Parameters -> Performance as well.
