CSS customisations no longer working

Support
#1

Hi,

I updated to pro a while back and all was fine. But after updating now my custom css for my post page headers no longer works.

I used:
.single-post .entry-title

to make edits to the title and also the sub title, moving the title to float over the featured image and have a coloured background. i’ve tried editing the existing code (which has been active for almost a year!) but it no longer seems to target or edit the title.

I’d copy the full CSS but I can’t seem to copy the css from the custom field under customizing.

Hope you can help.

Thanks,

Nick

PS Left more info in a secure note.

Hi there,

The Title feature of the Blog is not available in Pro anymore. That is why your code does noti=hing as there is no title there.

As mentioned in the article below our development team are working to introduce an element in Pro Header Builder to bring back the functionality with another context:

Thank you.

Thanks for your reply.

Sorry, but when did this happen?

My blog post titles were working in the last 2 weeks…?

Can you recommend a temp fix? Surely there’s another way to get the same result but my knowledge is limited to what I’ve learned with X…?

Thanks,

Nick

Hi there,

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I see that you are talking about the entry title. I checked the backend of your website and saw the code, also copied the code to the browser console and saw the result with the Yellow background over the image.

My guess is that it should be related to the cache plugin or the Jetpack plugin as it minifies the assets and it will not work well as we already minify Pro assets.

Kindly check for the 3rd party plugin conflicts and purge all caches and disable them.

Thank you.

Thanks for your reply again and sorry about my late response.

I did this but now I’m having another issue. I can’t disable any plugins. I did however disable them by blocking access to the plugin folder via FTP. It didn’t make any difference? I also disabled Cloudflare entirely and it didn’t do anything.

Can you help any further with the issue?

Thank you,

Nick

Hi there,

This seems to be another issue which is not in our realm of expertise and it will be better to get help from the proper sources which can give you better and quicker solutions than us as we do have experience regarding the code of the theme.

I did a search regarding this and interesting results came which can be a good start for your troubleshooting.

Thank you for your understanding.

But the issue I’m having with the CSS is still present? Can you help with that? I just want the old code to work again ideally. So the result that you saw previously - with the yellow background behind the title? I disabled all my caching as well as Jetpack and it didn’t change the result?

The issue with the disabling plugins is odd and it only happens with X. I switched themes and the problem goes away. But I will deal with this later.

Many thanks,

Nick

Hi again,

I checked your example post and I’m seeing the title with yellow background (see screenshot)

Have you been able to sort it out? or maybe try clearing your browser’s cache as well and then check the post again.

Cheers!

Hi,

No I wasn’t able to get it to work as before.

This is a different method that I’m using until I can get my old method to work. My old method was simple custom CSS in wordpress - this is based on another person’s code - using the child theme - but with this method I can’t get my subtitles to show.

Is there any reason why my old CSS wouldn’t be working? It was fine for 6 months and then went wacky about a month after I converted to Pro.

Thanks,

Nick

Hey Nick,

You should try using the following selector .single-post .entry-header .entry-title or maybe there could be a syntax error in your Customizer , look out for a missing or an additional curly bracket in your Customizer. You can also try moving your CSS to your child theme and see if this works.

Let us know how this goes!
