'$el' CSS Customizations of Elements Broken After PRO Update

[ajonesx]

Hi Xters… the title says it all, several different webites I’m working on have dumped ‘$el’ customizations after PRO update several days ago. The CSS hasn’t changed… it’s just not showing on the front-end any more. These are all simple height/border type css styling that worked fine prior to the upgrade like:

$el {
border-top: solid 1.5px rgb(130, 130, 130);
}

No editing or modifications of the sites were done and I already cleared the Pro style, WPress, and browser caches. Is anyone else having this issue?

Thanks!

Hi @ajonesx,

Would you mind sharing login information for one of the sites where you’re having this issue? We’re not seeing this problem, so perhaps we can isolate what’s happening by checking your site directly. Thank you!

Hi Xteam,

The problem was in the recent version update. The height issue was solved by using the PRO settings rather than CSS… this seems to be the core of the problem.

The simple border styling using CSS also worked fine until the until the 5.0 update and then failed even with an ‘!important’ CSS override. However, the code now works (only with with the additional ‘!important’ code) after the most recent update to 5.0.7.

This makes me think that some of the basic PRO parameters aren’t playing nice with CSS styling and it seems like this could be a major issue for others with a lot of time and styling in on many projects since you don’t want to force code unless you have too.

Anyway, it’s an easy fix now since my sites aren’t that developed yet… thanks!

PS - Once again, these CSS stylings were all using just the ‘$el’ selector in the ‘Edit’ pop-ups for individual sections, rows, columns, and elements in PRO.

Hey @ajonesx,

There might be something unique in your setup which is why we could not replicate your issue. Or, as Alex said, we’re not seeing the issue you described on our end. If we can’t see or replicate the issue, there would be nothing for us to fix and the issue might persist on your site even with updates.

We’d be happy to investigate why this only happens on your end if you give us the following info in a Secure Note.

• URL of the page where the issue is happening
• WordPress Login URL
• Admin username and password

You can find the Secure Note button at the bottom of your posts.
