title: How to overwrite a template in Magento
body: <p>I was following this answer,</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://[stackoverflow.com/questions/12936608/magento-howto-overwrite-one-template-file][1]" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://[stackoverflow.com/questions/12936608/magento-howto-overwrite-one-template-file][1]</a></p>
  
  <p>The file I'm trying to overwrite is,</p>
  
  <p>app/design/frontend/base/default/template/customer/form/register.phtml</p>
  
  <p>I copied that file to </p>
  
  <p>app/design/frontend/mycompany/default/template/customer/form/register.phtml</p>
  
  <p>I set,</p>
  
  <p>System -> Configuration -> Design -> Package = mycompany</p>
  
  <p>I flushed the buffer and refreshed and so forth, but</p>
  
  <p>app/design/frontend/base/default/template/customer/form/register.phtml</p>
  
  <p>is still being used. According to the answers, this is supposed to overwrite the base template, but it doesn't. What do I need to do to make the Magento used the new register.phtml?</p>
