Post CSS missing again

Hi Mike

Thank you for your tip.
What should this setting do? When I change the setting as suggested, I can’t see any difference. I do see that many Enfold files have now been minified, but the post CSS is still missing from some posts and is output as an unminified file for others.

Kind regards

Hi Mike
Not quite: if the post CSS is missing from a post, this affects the original language as well as all translations.

Suppose I have the following structure before I set the filter to false:

<div class="entry-content-wrapper">
	<div class="flex_column"></div>
	<div class="flex_column"></div>
	<div class="flex_column"></div>
</div>

After setting the filter to false, the structure appears as follows:

<div class="entry-content-wrapper">
	<style></style>
	<div class="flex_column"></div>
	<style></style>
	<div class="flex_column"></div>
	<style></style>
	<div class="flex_column"></div>
</div>

The selector .flex_column:nth-child(2n) would have selected every other column before setting the filter. After the filter value is changed, the selector applies to every column. Accordingly, unwanted changes to the design are the result.

Opening and resaving a post fixes the problem for that post. Whereas each post must be resaved in all languages. Unfortunately, the missing post CSS can only be detected using the browser console. And I can’t expect the unsavvy customer to check the browser console after each post, unfortunately. However, if the missing CSS persists, it increases load time and generates an unnecessary number of 404 errors.

I just checked the server log again when the post with the missing post CSS was created. Unfortunately, there are no errors in it. Do you see any way I could get to the bottom of the underlying problem?

Thanks a lot!

Hi

I just set up a staging environment. You can find the access data in the private field. The problem: the missing post CSS were apparently automatically generated in the staging environment. Why, I can not explain. I proceeded as follows:
– Created ZIP archive of the files on productive system
– Created dump of the DB on productive system
– Uploaded ZIP archive to staging system and unpacked it
– Imported dump of the DB on staging system
– Replaced domain with wp search-replace

I did not do anything else. Now when I call the URL of a post with missing post css in the staging environment the post CSS is present. In contrast, this is still missing from the corresponding post on the live system. And is also actually not present in the file system of the server. In the private field you can find the URL of such a post.

Kind regards,

Hi Günter

Thank you very much for your detailed answer. This provides a lot of clarity regarding the creation of the post CSS files. Also, I now know how to have all post CSS files recreated automatically.

I renamed the folder “avia_posts_css” on the staging system and could see that the post CSS files were logically missing from all posts afterwards. When I saved the Enfold settings again, the post CSS files were successfully regenerated the first time the respective post was called.

I could not find the missing post CSS anywhere on the server.
Cronjobs are enabled and work in general. However, we recently found out that a task of a plugin occasionally exceeded the maximum execution time in the past. Possibly this also caused the problem with the missing post CSS files?

I am not aware of any file system limitations. Also, the creation of the files seems to work in principle, as for example with the latest post the post CSS was created successfully.

A new post will be published in the next few days. I’ll be happy to let you know if it worked then. If so, I hope that this will remain so in the future.

Kind regards
Jeannette

Hi Günter

Today a new post was published and the post CSS was generated successfully. Let’s hope that this will continue. In any case, we will not invest any more effort in it for the time being.

And how we enjoy the theme. This is the foundation of many of our websites and we always like to rely on it.

Kind regards

Hi Guenni007

Thanks for the tip. That’s right, I could significantly minimize the problem with this. I will definitely take this into account for future projects.
