• senthil: the cache is enable stage. the ndot/layout files is rendering, if i hide the block in site <customer_account_create> the block is not showing, but only the template file is not rendered.
• MeenakshiSundaram R: Disable the cache and try again. If you not getting after disable the cache, delete the var/cache folder

Answer 1

I think you have edited in wrong file. Customer register form file is render from the following path

app/design/frontend/rwd/default/persistent/customer/form/register.phtml

So try to copy this folder path and file in your theme and check.

• senthil: i think rwd is namespace, the rwd folder is not is mgento default.
• MeenakshiSundaram R: If your magento version is 1.9 you have the red namespace. Or else you don't have that. Just copy the persistent/customer/form/register.phtml in you folder. Then edit the file you get the changes in frontend
• senthil: my version in 1.7, i did the changes is app/design/frontend/ndot/english/template/customer/account/dashboard.phtml , this changes is reflect, but the register.phtml changes is not reflect in frontend.
• MeenakshiSundaram R: /persistent/customer/form/register.phtml copy this file form base to your theme. Enable the path hint you can see the register.phtml file is not rendered from the ndot/English template/customer/form/register.phtml
• senthil: thanks for your help. as per your point, the register.phtml and login.phtml files is get from persistent folder .
