Issue

  • When customizing the theme by modifying the source code of Liferay 7.1, the changes are not reflected in the UI as well as in the source code of the theme.

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.1

Resolution

Please Note: Liferay Support will not be able to assist with designing or implementing customizations. 

  • The code changes should be done in the file which is placed under the source folder of the theme rather than the build folder. Because when building the theme, the files which are available under the source folder of the theme will overwrite the files under the build folder.
  • In case code is available and but changes are not reflecting in the UI then there might be having cache issue.
