Display options not updating

I’m trying to get the custom template working for YARPP, but it doesn’t seem to be reading the file.

I started with just the basic yarpp-template-example.php file and was going to make some modifications, but was first trying to test if it worked. The sample code that is displayed in the admin center is as follows:

<div class='yarpp-related'>
<h3>Related Posts</h3>
<ul>
		<li class="rpwe-li rpwe-clearfix"><a href="http://www.horowitzresearch.com/example-post-1/"><h3>Example post 1</h3></a><!-- (SCORE)-->February 5th, 2015</li>
		<li class="rpwe-li rpwe-clearfix"><a href="http://www.horowitzresearch.com/example-post-2/"><h3>Example post 2</h3></a><!-- (SCORE)-->February 5th, 2015</li>
etc.
	</ul>
</div>

However, when I actually look at it on the website, the source code reads:

<div class='yarpp-related-widget'>
<ol><li><a href="hhttp://www.horowitzresearch.com/example-post-1/">Example post 1</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.horowitzresearch.com/example-post-1/">Example post 2</a></li>
etc.
</ol>
</div>

It seems like that there’s something going on with the actual “display options” updating, as even when I change it to “List” or “Thumbnail”, the output does not change (even though the sample code does)–it always stays <ol><li></li></ol>

Has anyone else run into this issue? WordPress and YARPP are both fully updated. Not sure if this is an issue with compatibility or if it’s something deeper. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
