Can you check that there are no 2 css files (one of the core of wp and one of the theme) that use the same id of your css. If both use have defined for example #page{ with other code then only one of the css files will work. If you change the not working css file, nothing will change.
Do you understand what I mean?

I think I understand what you’re saying…
There are no 2 CSS files with the same filename… but when you say ‘ID’, what are you referring to? Page ID? Where should I be looking for to find this info?
Another thing to add… this theme uses dynamic inputs for many of the CSS values, so the majority of the CSS pages are actually PHP files…

Sorry – misunderstood you on the ID… I know what you’re referring to now. So when you refer to the the WP Core, you mean the CSS files within /wp-admin, right?
But here’s the thing – I haven’t changed anything between the local version on my computer & the one the site I uploaded… If there was 2 CSS files using the same ID, wouldn’t this problem appear on my local version as well?
Yes that would have appeared on your local version.
I don’t know a solution at the moment, I hope someone else will.

Thanks for your help njc, I appreciate it.
Here’s some additional info that may help figuring out the problem…. As I mentioned earlier, this theme uses multiple PHP files to define the various CSS sections on the site. The problem is that for certain elements, the values aren’t getting passed through. Here’s an example of code from the live site (not working) and my local (working):
Live (Not working) Site:
#Header {
width: 100%;
float: left;
padding: 0px 0px 15px 0px;
background-image: url(../../images/bg2-bw.png);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
background-position: left top;
background-color: ;
Note: value for background-colour is missing
Local (Working) Version:
#Header {
width: 100%;
float: left;
padding: 0px 0px 15px 0px;
background-image: url(../../images/bg2-bw.png);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
background-position: left top;
background-color: none;
The value for background-colour is present

***Update***
I figured out a work-around fix that has temporarily solved my problem, but at the cost of the framework’s functionality…
As I mentioned in my previous posts, this theme’s framework CSS files are in PHP, that use dynamic values for certain CSS values.
My fix was to copy & paste the CSS source produced on my local (which was working) onto the CSS PHP files on the online versions (which was not working), effectively making them static.
See http://contractsupply.mark2marketing.com for a live version of the current work around
This seems to have solved the formatting problem, but I have now lost the ability to change the certain CSS properties through the framework’s admin…
