I am trying to customize my Views row style output. Everything seems to work and my live preview shows the correct display, but when I go to the the node that the view connects to nothing is changed. I tried a couple different themes in case that was the issue, but still nothing. Anyone have an idea?

My guess is the view expects
My guess is the view expects arguments, the view is not a page view and the arguments are not defaulted correctly.
The view is a page view. I
The view is a page view. I don't have any arguments.
Your question is way to
Your question is way to ambiguous. Connects to? You have a much better change of getting useful replies if you describe your view in detail, or post a link to a picture.
Ok I will try to describe it
Ok I will try to describe it a little better. This is a page view. is what the page view looks like. the file in brackets under theme info is the one I put into my theme's folder to edit.

Like I said, when I make changes, they display properly in the live preview section. When I go to the path there are no changes made. Does that help?
You can't use the Path
You can't use the Path settings in Views that way. When Views asks you to set a path for a Page view, it's asking you for a unique URL path in which to display the view. Just like when you enter a unique URL alias for a node when you create new content.
If you want to "attach" the view to a existing node, you should make a "block" display. Then, in Admin > Site Structure > Blocks, you would configure that block to appear on "node/4", save it, then assign it to a region.
Thanks. I'm learning more
Thanks. I'm learning more everyday.
Make sure that your not only
Make sure that your not only updating the view. You have to also save the view as well before the changes will take effect. That's one of those opps..but I've done it myself a few times. Update and then save.
