Css not being applied

(B Edmonds) #1

I have some linked CSS design areas, when I view source I can see the path to the Css and even click to reveal the underlying css.

However it is not showing on my page? Is this a Caching issue. I’m not sysadmin only backend user

Can you show us the page URL?

 

It could be a caching issue. Are you using the CSS Design area as a static file?

I resolved this issue by putting the css in its own folder in the Designs Folder and then using an asset link.

I did have it under its own site (to give it a URL) as I was told this would also work?

Ideally those CSS Design files should live under a Design asset so that you can use mysoure_files style links within your parse file.

Yes I did have that. My only guess is there is something globally that says the Css won’t work unless it’s under the root design folder

Nope. Not true. I never use the global Design Folder. I always put my designs under each site in their own folder. Makes it easier to compartmentalize each site.

It DOES need to be somewhere that has a webpath though. So if you were creating it outside of a site or the design folder, then that was your issue.

I was creating it under its own unique site separate to the site I was using for the build.

As someone told me this was better as it still has a web path but you can hide the site from search engines,

Did that site have a URL and Public Read?

It was deny public but open for my user group

It was deny public but open for my user group

 

And you had applied a URL to it?
