Template name does not take effect I got a field with xyz as machine name, and I created a field--field-xyz.tpl.php template file, but it does not take any effect.
I used the template file to add views-field and views-field-field-xyz as CSS classes, but they don't show up. 

What did I do wrong?
Is it because I am using the Adaptive theme?
Does xyz field name contain underscores?


  Note that underscores in a Field's machine name are replaced by
  hyphens. Also remember to include "field-" in custom field names, e.g:
  field--field-phone.tpl.php.

EDIT:
Add a hook_preprocess_field(&amp;$vars) in your theme and dpm($vars) to check up on theme_hook_suggestions array for this field.
