I'm now maintaining a Drupal site that was built by someone else. I'm a total Drupal newb but have some coding experience. The site was last updated in 2011 and I have spent much of this evening, with some success, trying to edit the footer where it says "last update 2011" to "2014". I found a post here which directed me to some tpl.php files in the site's theme folder. There I found the hard-coded "2011" string in several different places (3 different files) and updated it.
Now on the website the new date string appears on every page except on the home page when I am not logged in as a user. That is, when I log in to edit the site in the normal way, then the home page displays my new "2014" string. When I log out and view the home page anonymously, then we're back to "2011". All other pages are good.
Can someone suggest a solution to this? Thanks in advance, David
