I18N Special Pages

[Angryboy]

The custom fields syntax works because it works globally for all page types. The caching function also works globally, but even without custom fields installed, so generally I stick to the caching functions (unless I need to manipulate the information in a specific way before it is output).

With your problem on your members.php file, first check if the template is working at all to begin with, because it sounds like there could be a general error in the mark-up. I'm a little confused when you say 'nothing comes up' - do you get just a blank white page? Or do you get some of the page but the page content doesn't show up?

Oh and if you edit the .xml files directly, open and resave those pages from your GetSimple admin panel as well to refresh the cache (that might be why it is still treating the page's template as the default one despite you manually changing it).

*edit* No, I18N is not necessary for you to use any of the similarly branded plugins. :-)
