Updating theme.yml in PrestaShop

Question

So I'm trying to modify the layout of theme.yml in a PrestaShop theme. I comment out the following:

  hooks:
    modules_to_hook:
      displayFooter:
      #  - ps_linklist
      #  - ps_customeraccountlinks
        - ps_contactinfo

And then I save and FTP the file. The FTP succeeds.

However, the linklist and customeraccountlinks hooks are still displayed in the footer on client browsers.

I've tried to force refresh on the client browser, also to clear cache in back office. Neither of these work.

How do I propagate this updated theme.yml ?

You can reset a theme to default within Design -> Theme & Logo -> Reset to defaults, but in this case, you will apply all settings that are written in theme.yml, so be sure that everything consistents your requirements there.

If you want reload your configuration :

1. Modify your theme.yml
2. Delete the file into ROOT_FOLDER/config/themes/your theme/shop*.json
