[resolved] Separate installations interfering with CSS (9 posts)

    http://littleshopsboutique.com/wordpress/ is running on one installation of WP and the Simplr theme.

    http://lianamir.com/ is running on a separate installation of WP and the Comet theme.

    Folder tree on server is like this:

    lianamir folder
    htaccess file for lianamir
    littleshopsboutique folder
    >> wordpress folder
    htaccess file for littleshopsboutique

    I was editing lianamir today without being logged in to littleshopsboutique, then went over to littleshopsboutique and found it pulling the colors and header image from lianamir! I'm not sure HOW they can even overlap.

    Both themes in their installations' folders seem find. I open the CSS for Simplr and it says it has a white #fff background. :headdesk:

    CSS cannot "overlap" between two completely separate installations. My guess is that you simply edited the wrong CSS.

    I know nothing about editing css. I have edited neither css. I merely activated a theme, chose options, and now, the colors of one are showing on the other. It's freaking me out.

    I don't know anything about coding at all, so the only code I messed with was to copy/paste the snippet from someone else's code to create a home.php that only showed one category. Comet doesn't even show where it pulls css on that file.

    Very confused.

    Have you tried removing that file from the theme?

    I do wish I knew where it pulled the css in the files so I could actually see if it's pulling the wrong links somehow. But like I said, I know nothing about coding. Thus, I'm over here asking how I can even check for where the problem is.

    Yep. Nada.

    The two sites are not overlapping or affecting each other in any way. Try deleting the user-meta plugin on http://littleshopsboutique.com/wordpress/
