In magento 2 how to edit the phtml file?

Question

In magento 2 I need to edit topmenu.phtml file. So I copied the topmenu.phtml file from:

vendor/magento/module_theme/view/frontend/templates/html/topmenu.phtml

into:

app/design/frontend/<vendor_name>/<theme_name>/Magento_Theme/templates/html  

and edited the file inside my theme module directory. But nothing changed. Someone please help me if am wrong.

Note: I have inherited Blank theme by copying all modules from vendor/magento/theme-frontend-blank into my theme directory.

Answer 1

Make sure that you paste the topmenu.phtml file under app/design/frontend/<vendor_name>/<theme_name>/Magento_Theme/templates/html/ folder!

Also copy the layout files which you need app/design/frontend/<vendor_name>/<theme_name>/Magento_Theme/layout folder!

Then delete var folder!

Then Run php bin/magento cache:flush & php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy from your root directory!

Hope this will help you to solve your problem.

Answer 2

You have to set topmenu.phtml file inside below folder, You have to just create templates folder inside it.

app/design/frontend/<vendor_name>/<theme_name>/Magento_Theme/templates/html/topmenu.phtml

Run commnad php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy clear var folder and try again.
