Custom CSS no longer displaying
-
Hi there,
I upgraded and customised some of the css on the blog https://wildcolonialgirl.wordpress.com/, but now it is no longer displaying. Preview looks correct but the live version has reverted back to the original theme CSS. Have viewed in Safari and Firefox, emptied caches, still no luck. Any help would be appreciated.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I didn’t even change the CSS with the upgrade and my whole site is completely a different color and format is all off. I hope this gets addressed soon too. Submitted a question.

@kirstendrauth, try re-saving your custom CSS.
@satnamaste, according to a validation report, you have a bunch of messed up HTML or something in your site, and a good portion of it looks like your hand coded text widgets. You can’t wrap span tags around text with other HTML tags in it. Spans are a bottom level tag. You also can’t put “p” tags inside of “li” tags.
You need to edit all your text widgets, one at a time and fix all the HTML errors.
The best way to create clean code for your text widgets is to first of all go to settings > writing and make sure it is set to correct invalid XHTML and save.
Next you need to create the code in a draft post using the tools in the editor and then save it at least once as a draft so that wordpress will examine the code and fix any errors. Then you switch to the HTML tab, copy all the text and code and put that into the text widget.

I just got rid of the upgrade and it went back to what it was. Yes, that was a workaround for not having a CSS. I appreciate the info and will keep this for when I have time to do this. Thanks!

If you again get the custom design upgrade, do not paste the entire stylesheet into the CSS edit window, if that was what you did. That is a sure way to mess things up. Put into the CSS edit window, only the specific rules and the specific declarations that you are adding or changing. Your additions or changes will then overwrite the original stuff.

@thesacredpath: I actually didn’t do anything to the CSS. I bought the upgrade and this happened. However, if the HTML was not correctly done due to some of the text widgets I had, then I’m sure that impacted it. Lesson learned for next time, thank you!

Custom CSS you added should work as long as your upgrade is current. There is a yearly fee for it.
@satnamaste, just turning on the Custom Design upgrade by itself shouldn’t make any changes unless you had saved some custom CSS on your Appearance → Custom Design → CSS page earlier. If you want to try the upgrade again some time, create a new thread and I’m sure we’d be able to track down the source of the issue.
