Test and/or Development version of site CSS
-
Hi.
I am trying to tidy up and simplify my CSS code by simplifying my selectors and removing duplicated CSS. However in order to test this and ensure that my existing pages are unchanged I need to update the Custom CSS file. If I update the Custom CSS file then it will immediately affect the whole site and I don’t want that to happen until I’m ready.
Is there anyway to do this in a test environment so that in the meantime visitors to the site don’t get a messed up view while I’m correcting the work?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Thank you for the pointer but it doesn’t help. The site already has the Premium option with CSS.
I’m trying to test changes to the existing CSS without those changes being visible to a viewer until they are ready.

I’m sorry I was not helpful. :( Please wait for a Staff response as they provide CSS support for all threads posted into this forum.

You can create a “test” blog and then export your content and import it into the test blog. Make sure and set it to private. You can then copy over the CSS to the test site and use the “Try” option on Custom Design and work out your code there and then when ready, you can copy it out of the test site and replace the CSS on your live public site.
The other way would be to copy out the CSS and paste it into a plain text file and work things out there by using the web inspector on your browser and after getting things right, transfer the changes to the CSS in your plain text file.
