CSS changes don't do anything!

    Hi Everyone!

    I would like to ask something that relates to the whole style thing:

    I can do with all the css files whatever I want — even delete all the code. It does not change anything visibly on my page — no matter how often I “update file” or refresh the page I opened in a different tab.
    The only thing that does change the appearance of the page is messing with the php files. What is worong about the css stuff?

    I am using the common Twenty Ten theme, nothing fancy – I am wondering why no one else seems to have this problem…

    I would really appreciate any kind of help! I haven’t found anything on this problem on the web.

    Thanks in advance!
    Dino

    Files are often cached on servers for quicker deliver, by ISP’s and WordPress plugin’s.

    Also cached in your local temporary internet files, try pressing CTRL+F5 to clear the local files, when you have made changes.

    If you want to play with the ‘twenty ten’ theme in a constuctive way, try using a child theme as the style.css in the child theme will over-ride the parent.

    WOOOOOOOW! Magic!

    Why did that work? And why didn’t it work before (the php changes did make a difference…)? Honestly, I thought that couldn’t fix it, but just gave it a try! I’m glad I did!

    Wow! A thousand times thank you! I was reaaaally frustrated that I could neither figure that out nor find anything since yesterday when I installed WordPress!

    Wow. Thank you so much!

    No Problem, php files on the server, so these will refresh quickly.

    But the CSS styles are stored in your ‘temporary internet files’, so they are not served every time.

    Mark this as resolved if this has answered your question.
