unable to see changes, after updating stylesheet [solved]

Post by gemma »

This is my first day using cms so I may just be making a silly mistake. I have made changes to a template 'CSS Menu Top and Two Colums' and can see them when viewing the site, but then moved onto changing a stylesheet 'Layout: Top Menu and Two Columns', but cannot see  the changes.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Gemma

Make sure that you are modifying a stylesheet, that is attached to the template. Do this by clicking the CSS-icon on the right of the template, in Layout -> Templates. The stylesheets that show are attached and will effect the template, after changing.

Just checked, and yes it is attached to the template, so I don't thin that thats the problem. Thanks though.

Hi,
The problem seems to have fixed itself now. When I logged back into my account the changes appear to have happened, I've no idea why. But thank you for your time.

sorry for asking such a question, but did you make sure to reload the site including CSS? Often the older version comes from your browser cache. So hitting CTRL+F5 (Windows) instead of a simple reload often does the trick.

In admin go to Site Admin > Global settings and set the value for...



Maximum amount of time (seconds) stylesheets can be cached in the browser:

This parameter should be set relatively high for static sites, and should be set to 0 for site development
