Emacs (Aquamacs) web-mode not automatically activating for HTML files

I've installed web-mode using a package manager. When I open a html file, it does not activate web-mode automatically. However, I can start web-mode manually using M-x web-mode so I'm sure it is installed correctly.

I am using the following lines in my Preferences.el file:

;;configure web-mode
(require 'web-mode) 
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.html$" . web-mode))

I have many other configurations in my Preferences.el file and these all work so Aquamacs is definitely recognizing this file.

Does anyone have any further suggestions? Thanks.

If you replace your pattern with `"\\.html?\\'"`, does it work? – ChrisGPT was on strike May 15 '14 at 16:52
Unfortunately that doesn't work either. I've discovered that it enters web-mode when I create a new html file, but not when I open one. – soarjay May 15 '14 at 21:59

That's very weird. If you start Emacs with `emacs -Q`, then eval the statements in your question, then open an HTML file, does it work? – ChrisGPT was on strike May 16 '14 at 02:28

@soarjay does an other major is loaded ? Moreover could you put your config lines at the end of your Preferences.el ? – fxbois May 17 '14 at 17:19
