My website is meshcoinc.com and I use the custom CSS Editor to make extensive changes to the design of my website using the Vantage theme. However, after the recent update, my CSS is no longer being applied to the live site after the Vantage theme’s original CSS. What’s interesting is that when I click “Edit CSS” in the “Appearance” tab on the dashboard, it take me a live site editor instead of the old one and it displays my site with the CSS applied correctly.
Here is a screenshot of the Live Editor where the CSS is working.
Here is a screenshot of the actual website as a visitor would see it.
I’m confused why all of my custom CSS is not being applied to the live site, but it is in the editor. This makes me think that the live site is applying my custom CSS first and then applying the Vantage theme’s original CSS. Before the update, the opposite was true; the Vantage CSS was applied followed by my custom CSS allowing me to override the Vantage CSS. I’m not sure what I should do to fix it other go back to using a Custom CSS plugin like I did before SiteOrigin included an editor in the theme.
Help?
TL;DR Custom CSS is not being applied after Vantage CSS anymore, so it is essentially useless.
Hi Brooks,
Sorry for the delay.
To clarify, the pictured screenshot is actually of the WordPress additional CSS field. I suspect WP AdminAppearanceCustom CSS isn’t showing up due to a href=”https://wordpress.org/plugins/so-css/”>SiteOrigin CSS not being active.
Regardless, do you still need assistance with this? I had a quick look at your website and the CSS seems to be working correctly. If you do, let me know and we’ll jump right in.
Sorry about that, it corrected itself while I was waiting for this thread to be approved.
Thank you for your help.
