Generating rig just creates a default rig

Pretty new to this, sorry for what is probably a noob question. I was following a tutorial on Rigify and used the standard basic quadruped metarig but adjusted it to fit my mesh. However, when I click on “Generate Rig” it always creates a default rig without my adjustments.

Did you do the adjustments by scaling in object mode? Then you have to apply scale first (ctrl+A). If you do the adjustments in edit mode, this step is not necessary.

Oh yeah, that worked! Thank you so much!
