Any information you can give me to help troubleshoot this would help greatly. Anything.

Also using 3.0.0-4 and Bootstrap 3.0 * When I hit “Compile CSS” it reports success: “Updating Twitter Bootstrap Settings Succeeded.” * I can’t see the changes on the frontend; I can’t even see the changes when I hit “Download”. * If you like, I can give you access to my site. * Btw, thanks for such a fantastic plugin 🙂 Am planning on becoming a premium iControlWP user soon! * Thread Starter [naoeobvio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/naoeobvio/) * (@naoeobvio) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/less-compiler-not-working/#post-4090961) * The same that happens to manuelkuhs, even in ‘download’ there are no changes. * Plugin Author [Paul](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paultgoodchild/) * (@paultgoodchild) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/less-compiler-not-working/#post-4090971) * Alright guys, I’ll take a closer look at this a bit later today and hopefully have a fix out for you.

I’m testing it in a local server, and I wonder if that could be a cause too. Although manuelkuhs is also having it, so let’s see. * Thanks. * [manuelkuhs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/manuelkuhs/) * (@manuelkuhs) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/less-compiler-not-working/#post-4091010) * I’m NOT on a local server 🙂 * Thread Starter [naoeobvio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/naoeobvio/) * (@naoeobvio) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/less-compiler-not-working/#post-4091011) * [@manuelkuhs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/manuelkuhs/): Nice, mate, hope Paul finds it! * Plugin Author [Paul](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paultgoodchild/) * (@paultgoodchild) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/less-compiler-not-working/#post-4091024) * Alrighty, I’ve just released v3.0.0-5 * To be honest, I didn’t fully understand the problem that was occurring for you guys until I dug into the LESS section for Bootstrap v3.0. It has changed more than I first realised and I had to update quite a bit to get this to fully work. * What does this mean? * It means version 3.0 of the compiler is much more closely aligned with the options available in the variables.less provided by v3.0 of the Bootstrap library. This means that some variables have disappeared, and for sake of helping you guys out a bit more, I’ve added a few more to give you more flexibility. e.g. Code and PRE. * One striking difference is the removal of colours, such as Blue, Green etc. I can imagine for some that’s going to be a pain… but the variables.less file with v3.0 doesn’t provide for this. * So, I’m thinking, perhaps for a later release I’ll offer a text field, into which you can put your own definitions for colours and variables. That shouldn’t be too hard to do, it’ll just take a bit of working with. * Let me know how you get on with the new version, and apologies for the trouble and the delay on this. * And huge thanks to [@manuelkuhs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/manuelkuhs/) for the access to the demo site! * Cheers! Paul. * Thread Starter [naoeobvio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/naoeobvio/) * (@naoeobvio) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/less-compiler-not-working/#post-4091026) * It’s working, Paul. I highly appreciate your efforts to make this one of the best plugins available to WP community. * Thank you very much.
