Modifying style.css file causes no effect on website??!!

metacitizen / 2012-07-09 01:39:33   

Trying to change paragraph width in style.css in this way:

/* paragraph width */
#index p { margin-bottom: 1em; }
#exhibit p, code, blockquote { width: 800px; margin-bottom: 1em; border: 5px solid #FFF;/* line-height: 1.3em; */ }

however, paragraph width in exhibit remains at 450px... any ideas of what is going on? any help would be greatly appreciated!!

...wait a minute - the changes you make are being recorded to the style.css file, but they don't seem to affect the page?
Or you make changes you hit the save (disc) icon and the new parameters are still not recorded?

You are editing the wrong style.css file:

indexhibit.org/ndxzsite/default/…

This file is showing a 450px width

I know what's happening. Your theme is linking the indexhibit.org style files instead of YOUR site style files.

go to your themes index.php page (Admin->Assets->template->index.php) and make sure you have the following in your < head > part of your page:

  1. <!doctype html>
  2. <html lang='{{site_lang}}'>
  3. <head>
  4. <meta charset='utf-8'>
  5. <title><last:ndxz_title /> : {{obj_name}}</title>
  6. <last:page:meta />
  7. <link rel='alternate' type='application/rss+xml' title='RSS' href='{{baseurl}}/xml/' />
  8. <link rel='stylesheet' href='{{baseurl}}/ndxzsite/{{obj_theme}}/reset.css<last:page:version: />' type='text/css' />
  9. <link rel='stylesheet' href='{{baseurl}}/ndxzsite/{{obj_theme}}/base.css<last:page:version: />' type='text/css' />
  10. <link rel='stylesheet' href='{{baseurl}}/ndxzsite/{{obj_theme}}/style.css<last:page:version />' type='text/css' />
  11. <last:page:css />
  12. <last:page:javascript />
  13. <last:page:onready /><plugin:backgrounder />
  14. </head>
