Hi there,

I've been working away at customising my EasyBlog layout with overrides and it's all been going great until I've tried to override the default latest blogs layout:

/components/com_easyblog/themes/wireframe/blogs/latest/default.php

which I placed in the following location:

/templates/uber/html/com_easyblog/blogs/latest/default.php

At top of the file I have just entered <p>test</p> but it stubbornly refuses to display as you can see here:

https://dev.sane.org/the-new-sane-blog

...which is a menu item link to a Single Category.

I've attached a screenshot of both the Themes section in EasyBlog which shows the file as being modified, plus a screenshot of the Joomla templates editor showing the modified file itself in the correct structure.

I've even been able to override another file from the same directory without any problems:

/components/com_easyblog/themes/wireframe/blogs/latest/default.main.php

which lives in:

/templates/uber/html/com_easyblog/blogs/latest/default.main.php

Same location... so I'm at a bit of loss.

I can only imagine I'm not working on the right file but have tried multiple searches on various elements and can't find what else it might be.

Would really appreciate being pointed in the right direction here.

Thanks
Hi Philippa,
The theme file that outputs the single category layout is actually the following:
JoomlaFolder/components/com_easyblog/themes/wireframe/blogs/categories/item.php

The blogs/latest/default.php that you mentioned is actually for EasyBlog's frontpage layout.
