Jekyll Method Override: posts_collate

Question

I am trying to change the way that posts are displayed on my home page, but no matter what I do, changes don't appear to get reflected at all. Here are the steps that I followed:

_config.yml

JB :
  version : 0.2.13
  posts_collate : 
     provider : "custom"

Then I created the file _includes/custom/posts_collate with the exact same content as _includes/JB/posts_collate but with a few tweaks.

My original posts_collate starts off like this:

  {% if site.JB.posts_collate.provider == "custom" %}
  {% include custom/posts_collate %}
  {% else %}
    {% for post in posts_collate  %}
       {% capture this_year %}{{ post.date | date: "%Y" }}{% endcapture %}
       {% capture this_month %}{{ post.date | date: "%B" }}{% endcapture %}
       {% capture next_year %}{{ post.previous.date | date: "%Y" }}{% endcapture %}
       {% capture next_month %}{{ post.previous.date | date: "%B" }}{% endcapture %}

Am I editing the right file? What could be the cause for my changes not getting reflected in the custom folder?

In case you haven't fixed it yet, here's the info that works below that I tested. You set up your _config.yml correctly.

Two other things you need to do.

Update the include path to be 'JB/custom/posts_collate' as it is referencing the path from _includes/
Stop and restart the server with $ jekyll --server so it can parse your updated _config.yml file as well
