sudden CSS problem without my input

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi. I have the CSS upgrade and did my customizations to my liking back in June. Since then there have been no issues at all with my theme’s appearance. The other day suddenly, my menu bar went back to its original green/black from the customized white/black that I had put up. What’s completely weird is that I didn’t touch (or even look at!) my CSS page. Oddly, and I don’t know if this is coincidental or not, but the problem arose just after wordpress was down for a bit the other day. (Sept 24, 2010) …and so I was wondering if the main (original) CSS page that wordpress keeps from being edited was somehow changed or affected to the point where my current customization no longer works? I hope this is the proper place to post this. My theme is Freshy and my customizations, as they have always appeared (and always worked), are as follows…

    .menu li a {
    background-image:url(‘http://itroy.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/menu_triple1.jpg’);
    }

    .menu li a.first_menu {
    background-image:url(‘http://itroy.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/menu_start_triple1.jpg’);
    }

    .menu li a.last_menu {
    background-image:url(‘http://itroy.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/menu_end_triple1-22-54-12.jpg’);
    }

    #title h2 {
    font-size:2.5em;
    }

    #searchform {
    margin-top:30px!important;
    }

    #title h1 a {
    color:white;
    display:block;
    }

    .description {
    color:#FFFFFF;
    }

    I’ve got it figured out :)

    It seems that ‘primary’ was added to the theme’s .menu commands (to become .menu.primary) so I simply added that to my customization. I suppose there was an update to the theme’s CSS the other day. I’ll post my amended customization below in case someone else might have a similar concern.

    .menu.primary li a {
    background-image:url(‘http://itroy.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/menu_triple1.jpg’);
    }

    .menu.primary li a.first_menu {
    background-image:url(‘http://itroy.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/menu_start_triple1.jpg’);
    }

    .menu.primary li a.last_menu {
    background-image:url(‘http://itroy.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/menu_end_triple1-22-54-12.jpg’);
    }

    #title h2 {
    font-size:2.5em;
    }

    #searchform {
    margin-top:30px!important;
    }

    #title h1 a {
    color:white;
    display:block;
    }

    .description {
    color:#FFFFFF;
    }

    It looks like your theme got updated. That’s most likely a good thing, but well noticed on the CSS differences. Someone else had this problem earlier so I’ll point them towards this thread which should help.

    i’m having this same problem and although i’ve added what you said to, i still can’t get the damn original menu to go away! i know this is asking a lot but if you have a spare minute or two would you mind looking over my thread & see if you can see what i’m doing wrong? i’ve been trying to figure it out since last night with no luck!

    @ hallluke – yes, that’s kinda what I thought, but support at WP didn’t say anything about the update when I contacted them.

    @ marissaaross – I glanced at the CSS you provided …unfortunately I SUCK as this more than you. Aside from adding .primary to the .menu control (to get .menu.primary …which I think you’ve tried already) I can’t really help out. Maybe WP Support could provide you with the original CSS from the Freshy theme so at least you can compare what changes were made? You may even be able to get that from the author himself.

    Good luck :)
