Theme & plugin CSS not updating

    Hello,

    I have a multisite WP instalation.

    3 websites:
    http://www.zegmaarmanu.be –> language selector
    http://www.zegmaarmanu.be/nl –> DUTCH version
    http://www.zegmaarmanu.be/fr –> FRENCH version

    as network administrator I network activated a theme across all 3 websites.

    I wanted to modify the CSS & the only way I can do this is by going to network admin / themes / editor.

    What I noticed is that the CSS-modifications aren’t loaded across the different websites… I can’t see the changes enywhere..

    The same goes for modifications to plugin CSS…

    Can anybody help? What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks in advance for your help!
    Manu

    1. Are you 100% sure the CSS file has not been cached? Try loading the CSS files specific path. It may be different for you depending on the install location.

    Example: http://www.your-domain.com/wp-content/themes/theme-name/style.css

    Once it has loaded in the browser in plain text identify the change you made. Reload your WordPress page see if it appears correct.

    2. Your theme has several CSS files. Are you sure you are adapting the correct file?

    3. Have you tried using the “Edit CSS” option under the appearance menu?

    good luck!

    Hello, thanks for your reply.

    I edited the css as followed:

    i go to the network admin backend / Themes / editor / stylesheet

    As you sugested, I went to:
    http://zegmaarmanu.be/nl/wp-content/themes/suburbs/style.css

    where all modifications are OK.

    However, the website seems to be using http://zegmaarmanu.be/nl/wp-content/themes/suburbs/style.css?ver=4.0 where modifications aren’t visible… That seems to be the problem… I don’t know why this css?ver=4.0 is used and why this version hasn’t got the needed modifications…

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks again!

    Yes, I think your css file is caching somewhere. I looked at your hosting and you use siteground? I know they have special caching settings that cache certain files.

    Try logging into your cpanel, click on the super cacher icon, and make sure all caches are disabled, then flush all caches, then try again, you can turn the caching back on once you’ve made your css edits.

    If that doesn’t work, are you using any caching plugins?
