Hi! Preliminary disclaimer: I know little to nothing about coding, so sorry in advance.
So, I’m working with the Charity WP theme and I recently downloaded the SiteOrigin Custom CSS plugin and discovered the live-editor type option. It’s wonderful and I love how detailed the customization can be, but none of my edits are actually being applied. It looks great inside the editor every time I go on it, but nothing shows up on the live site. What’s going on/how can I fix it?
Hi Rachel,
I suspect the adjustments you’re making aren’t being applied as they’re not as specific as the already present CSS. Can you please provide me with a copy of the generated CSS so I can check over it? Also, would it be possible for you to link me to the page you’re working on so I can reference the CSS to your existing markup?
Hi!
The page I’m working on is http://www.acompassionategeneration.org/advice/
Could you clarify what you mean by generated CSS? Is it the CSS that showed up after I made my customizations? Or, if it is something else, where can I find it?
Thank you!
Rachel
Hi Rachel,
Sorry for the delay.
Thanks. Generated CSS is the CSS that shows up after you’ve made your adjustments using the Visual/Expanded view.
I suspect the issue is that you’re using unreliable classes. so-widget-sow-features-default-446c65f6a40a is an unreliable class and the random id at the end of the class will change upon adjusting the features widget. I would recommend changing this class to a custom widget class instead. Please open the relevant features widget and head over to the widget styles sidebar. Open the Attributes settings group and set the Widget Class to example (this is purely an example, you can use any class). Then please change all of your CSS to reference the example class instead of so-widget-sow-features-default-446c65f6a40a.
