Enfold theme options – styling

Hi

I to have this problem, specifically with the footer styling. Whatever changes I make in the “Enfold Theme Options / Styling” page are not reflected on the front end despite flushing cache, CTRL+F5 hard refresh, going in to settings to delete history and cache, restarting my computer makes no difference. Last time it took days for changes to update??

Can you suggest any other fix?

Thanks

I contacted my service provider – they said they were unable to delete server cache. I have just tried accessing my website via 3G on two separate devices, one that has never visited the site I am developing before and they both display the old footer colour settings which can only lead me to the conclusion that it is not a cache issue but something else that needs further investigation please.

Hi Ismael,

Thanks for looking in to this. I have changed the “enfold.css” file permission to 755 and this does now resolve the issue I had with the header font not changing on the front end. However the issue with the footer styling is still evident, despite this change. The colours do not change on the front end to match what has been entered in the back end via the styling tab.

My footer on http://www.icfurniture.co.uk is displaying in a hot pink with stripes colour (which I changed to on Friday that didn’t display until this morning when I started my computer up having been off on the Saturday and Sunday) I have this morning changed the colour to display as #4a4a4a (A charcoal Grey) but on the front end it still shows the hot pink with the stripes from Friday…..

I have tried viewing Chrome, Firefox, IE and Safari – all display the old footer in pink.

Anything else I can try..?

Thanks

Hi Ismael –

Did you manage to find anything else that I might try..? The problem is still there – it is taking a day to update the changes for some reason..??

Will updating to 2.4.5 version fix?

Thanks

Hey!

Please add following code to the functions.php file:

add_action('init','deactivate_avia_css_cache', 10);
function deactivate_avia_css_cache(){
remove_action('avia_ajax_after_save_options_page', 'avia_generate_stylesheet', 30, 1);
}

It will deactivate the dynamic stylesheet generation and print the code in the head section. This should temporarily fix the issue and you can develop your website without changing the file permissions of the dynamic stylesheet.

Cheers!

Hi again.

I have managed to fix the problem myself. The problem was that the site is installed on a Dreampress optimised package supplied by Dreamhost which uses something called ‘Varnish Caching’… (means nothing to me)… I spoke to their support who identified this as possibly being the issue as I went and installed the enfold theme on one of their “.dreamhosters.com” development domains which just uses their standard hosting to troubleshoot and I could change all the styling fine without any problems.

I downloaded a plugin called “varnish http purge” which has a button on the dashboard to manually purge the varnish cache which seems to have solved the problem. When you do make any changes you have to manually purge the cache and then also do a CTRL F5 hard refresh on your browser and the new settings load in.

If anybody else is using dreampress and is having styling issues – this is the solution!
