Support » Themes and Templates » StyleSheet Changes Not Working

  • Eh, regarding 1.5, the default theme, I try to make changes to the stylesheet (yes I changed the permissions so I can edit it) and whenever I click update file, nothing changes.

    I set a bunch of things to be different, but it won’t change it.

    i.e. I changed

    #page {
    background-color: white;

    to

    #page {
    background-color: orange;

  • What editor are you using to change your stylesheet? And also, are you editing it remotely or locally?

    I’m using the Theme Editor in the admininstrator area… under the Presentation tab

    Issue 1: There are two #page declarations in the default theme’s style.css (would be a bug of sorts, eh?).

    Issue 2: The section of the template that #page defines uses a background image, which would override background-color settings. (Look for it in the css defined in header.php).

    This is harder than I thought. :-\

    Yes there were two #page declarations but I removed one and it still doesn’t work.

    As for the header.php thing I don’t really know waht you mean

    BTW im editing it with dreamweaver now, then uploading

    In header.php it calls the following images:

    #page { background: url(“<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/kubrickbg.jpg”) repeat-y top; border: none; } <?php } else { // No sidebar ?>
    #page { background: url(“<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/kubrickbgwide.jpg”) repeat-y top; border: none; } <?php } ?>

    So do I delete those?

    Okay, wait a minute. Did you clear the browser’s cache when you hit REFRESH to look at the changes? That can often be the problem and something you should check before you start deleting code.

    Nope, doesn’t help.

    I just changed the header image, so that worked for it, but thats about it.

    What does this mean? How do I do it?
