Help! Stylesheet changes aren't appearing

[ohbrooke]

I have made edits to my styesheet and they aren't appearing once I upload them.

I am editing from public_html/shop/includes/templates/classic/css/stylesheet.css. Is this the wrong stylesheet?

[Lala_G_Clef_Jewelry]

is your shop set to use the classic template?

if not you need to upload the changed stylesheet to the correct template.

also because i know it will be said, lol
you might consider using an over rides folder for all that stuff so you dont overwrite you stuff when you upgrade.
the how to is in the wiki

Well, my only option is classic, or template_default. I updated both (and backed them up) and neither one works.

I don't have a CUSTOM folder like I see in some of the tutorials. Is that what I need?

[Lala_G_Clef_Jewelry]

do you have a link to the site?

yes the custom or overrides folder is EXTREAMLY useful.

in admin what template does it say your using?

It says 'Classic Green' template. You can see what I'm working on at www.ladidahandbags.com/shop. I'm trying to change the background color to an image, the body bgcolor, and center the logo...

[Lala_G_Clef_Jewelry]

For centering in your style sheet change:

#logo, .centerBoxContents, .specialsListBoxContents, .categoryListBoxContents, .centerBoxContentsAlsoPurch, .attribImg {
float: left;
}

to

#logo {

text-align: center;

}

.centerBoxContents, .specialsListBoxContents, .categoryListBoxContents, .centerBoxContentsAlsoPurch, .attribImg {

float: left

}


as for the background color to an image make sure your calling it right. i only see colors listed there.

also if you use firefox (and if you dont i would) you can d/l the developers tools and that will also help you be able to see where in the css you are trying to change. HTH

Well, I changed to just colors, but my stylesheet isn't even reading that. I went through the tutorial and created my own template, and changing that stylesheet isn't working after reset the template in the admin. I must have the wrong stylesheet (although I have tested them all....) or my template isn't pointing to the correct stylesheet....

ug.

you have three stylesheets its looking at.

try deleting(or putting .old after the .css so they arent looked at) all but the one that is stylesheet.css and see what happens.
