ericwlee 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2011 Hi Everyone, My Custom CSS section appears to have stopped working. The custom code that I have in that section is still applying to my site, but any changes I make to it, adding, taking away code, etc., doesn't seem to be taking effect. Any ideas? my site is http://www.ecomv.net I have a super cache plugin install, which is a great help to my page loading time, but could this be causing the problem? Thanks in advance. eric Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kgstew 2 Report post Posted March 9, 2011 Hi Eric, Hard to say what might be causing your CSS not to show up. Could be an error with your actual CSS code; a missing ; or } I would suggest putting your CSS into a text editor and checking your code, then using Platform Base and modifying the base.css file by putting all your custom CSS into that file instead of using the custom CSS options inside of the Platform settings. This way you can be sure the page is loading the base.css and you can check with firebug if the sytles are appearing correctly. Cheers, -Kyle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cmunns 16 Report post Posted March 9, 2011 yes it's the supercache. You have to manually clear the cache if you want to see the changes. Disable the plugin and you'll see it likely fixed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ericwlee 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2011 Hi Adam, I was certain it was the super cache and I had been deleting the cache periodically but still seeing no changes taking effect. Deactivating it alone did not do the trick either. The combination of both deactivating the plugin and activating the default theme seems to have done the trick. But now it appears I have to do that every time I need to make a single CSS change. Is there a way around this? The site is unbearably slow without the cache plug in so I fear keeping it deactivated will catch up to me again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmunns 16 Report post Posted March 10, 2011 I'm not sure how to best make changes with the plugin installed, but I had similar issues making changes with W3 Total Cache installed. Try contacting the plugin devs for advice on this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
