CSS editor won't let me input more changes
-
Hi all,
I started with two simple edits to my CSS, and now the editor won’t let me add anything else–that is, nothing I type in the editor will show up; it will let me delete characters, but not add. I can paste the lines of code I need to change into the editor, but then I can’t make any changes, only deletions.
The same thing is happening for the changes I successfully added to my stylesheet (Bueno). As a beginner, I’m only working with colors at this point. For example, I successfully changed my pagenav color to #548B54. If I return to that line and try to change it to, say, #718B52, I’m out of luck. I can delete #548B54, but not type anything in. It’s like the CSS editor is “frozen.”
I’m not sure if this all makes sense – I’m very new to CSS editing.

When you alter a theme’s stylesheet, you only need to put in the Editor the modification/additions to the CSS, not the entire thing. Is that what you are doing or not? I’m sorry but I can’t help with CSS beyond this so I’ve flagged this thread for Staff attention.

Hi timethief,
No, I’m just adding the lines I need to the editor, not the entire original style sheet. I’ve selected “Add my CSS to Bueno’s CSS stylesheet” as my save option. -

This is a long shot, but if by chance you are using AdBlocker in Firefox or another browser, try disabling it for WordPress. I had the same CSS issue last week, and disabling AdBlock worked here.

@ sensuousinkspiller, unfortunately that can’t be the issue. But I do wonder if Safari might be causing trouble – I’ll try it in Firefox.

I have no issues adding or editing CSS with Safari, Firefox, Chrome or Opera on my Mac.
One thing to try is to log out, clear your browser cache and cookies, restart your browser and then try again.

Thanks for your help, everyone – the issue inexplicably resolved itself. I just walked away from it and tried again this morning. I was able to change a line of code with no trouble this morning. Mysterious…
Now if I could just find the line I need to change the text color in my tag cloud…
Thanks again!

I’m not having any trouble saving changes on WordPress.com Appearance → Custom Design → CSS pages either, and I don’t see any other similar reports.
@stickygreenleaves, if you’re still having trouble, please reply with an example of exactly what code you’re trying to add so we can take a closer look. If you’re adding CSS code that is incorrectly formatted, that might be the trouble.

@designsimply, I didn’t have any more problems yesterday or today. Must have been a one-off glitch on my end.
My code is working correctly once I input it, I’m just having trouble finding the piece that would change the hover color for links in my widgets, but that’s not a big deal. :) thanks!

Glad to hear it’s working now! Thank you for following up to let us know.
To change the hover color for links in widgets in the Bueno theme, you can add this to your Appearance → Custom Design → CSS editor:
.widget a:hover { color: hotpink !important; }Note that will change the hover color for every type of link.
Adjust the color code as necessary.
