  • Make sure you theme is set to awesome in System->Configuration->Design. And clear the cache.

    Did you set default to awesome or only theme? If only theme, remove it use default OR set layout to awesome too!

Not sure what is the problem. I am just guessing what could be the problems:

  • In Admin panel, system -> Design, Check if there are any "Design changes".

  • In Admin panel, system -> Configuration -> Design:

    - In Package section, Current package name should be "default".
- In Themes section, Default field should have the current theme name i.e "awesome".

  • Try adding semicolon at the end of your code in template as shown below:

    <?php echo "Hello World"; ?>
