Title: Style.css changes dont apply Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Style.css changes dont apply * Resolved [Nick25](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nick25/) * (@nick25) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stylecss-changes-dont-apply/) * Hey,some specific style.css changes dont apply. * I made a change in the sidebars (removed right.png pic) and after that no matter what i did,these changes reamained the same. I even deleted and installed the theme again,but still the previous changes are saved or something. * Btw i already tried clearing my cache and inserting custom css through some plugins that are available. * Thats the first time im having this issue with themes,any ideas?

That could cause that too. * Thread Starter [Nick25](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nick25/) * (@nick25) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stylecss-changes-dont-apply/#post-4388106) * The changes were made in style.css. * No i dont have any caching… But perhaps the problem is relevant to caching,its like the theme is saved on other files-folders etc. Just deleting theme files on content folder,doesnt fix the problem. * If i check my website with firebug i can see the old code and not the latest install code. * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stylecss-changes-dont-apply/#post-4388108) * Have you cleared your browser cache? * Theme options and settings are stored in the database – so if that’s what you’ve changed, they may still be there. * Thread Starter [Nick25](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nick25/) * (@nick25) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stylecss-changes-dont-apply/#post-4388111) * Yes i have cleared my browser cache. * Except the specific code part,the theme options were the same,even after the reinstall. So these two are stored somewhere else? anyway to delete them-update them? * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stylecss-changes-dont-apply/#post-4388113) * A link to your site and more specifics would make this a more useful discussion:)! As is, I’m not even sure what you’re looking at. * Thread Starter [Nick25](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nick25/) * (@nick25) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stylecss-changes-dont-apply/#post-4388114) * Having the original theme with the original css appearing on my website. * Like i said i already deleted and installed again the theme. * Any other things i can try? * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stylecss-changes-dont-apply/#post-4388116) * Are you using the most current version of the theme? There were some changes related to the way CSS works in that theme – but I’m not familiar with it in detail. I expect Alexander will chime in here when he gets a minute. * Thread Starter [Nick25](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nick25/) * (@nick25) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stylecss-changes-dont-apply/#post-4388117) * Yes i have the latest version. * Btw i just noticed that even if i delete the content of style.css. The theme still appears like nothing happened at all. * Thread Starter [Nick25](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nick25/) * (@nick25) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stylecss-changes-dont-apply/#post-4388118) * Btw the first time i installed the theme and made changes etc,i used the old version. Maybe thats relevant,im dont know… * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stylecss-changes-dont-apply/#post-4388119) * Sounds like caching to me. Have you tried a different browser entirely? Where is your site hosted? * What plugins do you have active? * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stylecss-changes-dont-apply/#post-4388120) * Did you read all this? * [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/important-for-the-coming-update-backup-your-custom-css-field?replies=3](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/important-for-the-coming-update-backup-your-custom-css-field?replies=3) * Thread Starter [Nick25](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nick25/) * (@nick25) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stylecss-changes-dont-apply/#post-4388121) * Yes i tried google chrome to check how my website is appearing there. I already contact my host to check if they can do anything to help. * And i have tried it by deactivating all my plugins,but no luck… Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 26 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stylecss-changes-dont-apply/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stylecss-changes-dont-apply/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘Style.css changes dont apply’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://i0.wp.com/themes.svn.wordpress.org/hueman/3.7.27/screenshot.png) * Hueman * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/hueman/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/hueman/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/hueman/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/hueman/reviews/) * 26 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [Nick25](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nick25/) * Last activity: [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stylecss-changes-dont-apply/page/2/#post-4388191) * Status: resolved
