  Hi, I’m using the Twenty Eleven theme and would like to use custom CSS. Before purchasing, though, I would like to finish my design using the preview option.

  However, when I click the Preview button in the Custom CSS tab, nothing happens (I’m logged in as the admin user). It worked for me once a few minutes ago, but since then it doesn’t work. My CSS is still there if I go to another page and back, but I can’t find a way of previewing it.

  I’m using Safari 5.1 on a Mac.

  Does anybody know why this happens and how to resolve the problem?

  Thanks,
  Sofia

  Problem solved. It works in Firefox, and I can see the preview in Safari as well by adding ?csspreview=true to the url.

  I’ve found that typically just doing a forced refresh on the preview page will fix the issue.
