Testing using Desktop Server and Twenty Sixteen

Hi,

Scandinavian is correct (you are the first person to suggest it sounds anything other than Romanian).

What browser and browser version are you currently using, and is the test site a http or https site?

H?res Norsk ut til meg (Sounds Norwegian to me).

Ok I tested this in Chrome Version 47.0.2526.106 (64-bit) and Firefox version 42.0. It seems like I am not getting it…

Testing this online as well. Clicking various elements. No reaction. I bet there is something really simple I have forgotten to do…

Ha en fin dag Marius! (Have a great day Marius!)

That is quite odd, I just tested it in the same version of Chrome with Twenty Sixteen and it appears to be registering as intended.

So what I did was I clicked “Find something to customize”, then clicked on the title of the first post on the Twenty Sixteen front page.

This auto populated some fields with the text from the page, and I picked “background-color” in the drop down menu for what I’d like to change.

When I clicked the add button, the page reloaded, and I could find the new field under Colors in the customizer menu (which is the area I chose to put it in, and the default one).

I did notice that it wasn’t properly live-updating the preview though, so I’ll have to look into that, but it did create the rules, and when I viewed the actual page my customizations were there.

Which elements did you attempt to pick?

( You are also correct about the Norwegian bit )

Ok I created a new Desktop Server site.
Installed the Simple Customizer.
Twenty Sixteen is by default activated.

Went to Customize.
Opened Simple Customize.
Clicked Find something to customize.
Clicked the title of Hello world post.
Noticed Simple Customize changed to:
Name: Hello World
Category: Colors (drop down)
What to customize: animation-delay (drop down)
Selected background-color.
Clicked Add Element.
Exited/refreshed Simple Customize and went back to main customizer area.
Went to Colors and noticed a Background Color select. Selected a color and saved.
Nice!..:)

So it worked on the new site but for whatever reason not on an existing site I had. But now I know how it is supposed to work..:)

Another test. Same new development site.
Clicked Find something to customize.
Clicked the site title. What to customize. I selected color.
Refreshed.
I went to colors and noticed a new color select for the site title.
Changed the color but noticed no change.

Another test.
I made a new menu inside the customizer and that worked pretty well. (I am surprised how well it worked.)
Went to Simple Customize
Clicked Find something to customize.
Clicked the new menu items.
No reaction.

O’well.

Ha en fin dag Marius!

Awesome, glad you managed to get it running.

I’m aware that the preview some times fails, I’ve not been able to pinpoint exactly why it some times fails (did you save and publish after changing the colors in test #2 above, and then try looking at the actual front page/refreshed the customizer?)

I’ve not tested with the new menu customizer if it possibly has problems detecting the new element before it’s published, I’ll look into that one though! ??
