Changes in "style.css" do not affect the web page

Hi everyone,

I think I have stumbled onto a solution – a work around actually. While working on the CSS changes and checking results on my computer, nothing seemed to alter the site.

By chance, I was working on another computer and decided to look at the site I was trying to build. Lo and behold the changes in the CSS file came through. On returning to my original computer and checking out the site, I found that the web page was unchanged.

I suppose it has something to do with the difference between a normal user and the site administrator.

@fairytail 17 yes, it is the same. I modified it from the wordpress editor and then verified it was the same in the FTP file. What do you mean with a whole HTML file? I created it with the child theme

@andrew Nevins yes I can confirm so I will contact them…

@mbes I oponed to site in another computer, same problem

Hi, when i go on the homepage of mouvart.fr, i can see that the code loading the style.css file in your header is the following:
<link rel=”stylesheet” id=”customizr-style-css” href=”https://www.mouvart.fr/wp-content/themes/customizrchildtheme/style.css?ver=3.0.9&#8243; type=”text/css” media=”all”>

However, when i open this file i see a 404 page.

I think that when you created your child theme, you forgot to create style.css in your child theme directory and therefore it searches for it but can’t find it. You should have style.css file with the modifications you stated earlier in your childtheme directory –> https://www.mouvart.fr/wp-content/themes/customizrchildtheme/

Does that make sense ?

Check the difference in the pages here
Grey.css from the template: https://www.mouvart.fr/wp-content/themes/customizr/inc/css/grey.css?ver=3.0.9
style.css from your child: https://mouvart.fr/wp-content/themes/customizrchildtheme/style.css?ver=3.0.9

@mbes

I suppose it has something to do with the difference between a normal user and the site administrator.

More likely it’s a caching problem on your first PC.

@fairytail17 one of the first things that I have done when I installed the theme is to create a style.css in my child theme with all the modifications… so I don’t know how it does not work.

thanks all for your comments.

@fairytail17, why take support away from these forums if, as you say, you cannot provide it?

@zoeromero, any news from your hosting providers?

@andrew sorry you’re right… I just thought that providing help in French (our mothertongue) on this thread would be unpolite to the other users but could also make it easier to understand/fix the issue…
I obviously understand the need for the solution to be published on this thread so as to help all the users ??

thanks all for your help! @fairytail17, French is not my mother tongue anyway : )), but thanks a lot anyway!

Double mistake! That’ll teach me! ??
Hope you find a way to fix your issue!
