    Hi Daniel:

    Thanks again for your fantastic theme. I am building this site for my wife: http://d7444149.u40.websitesource.net/

    I am making the following changes that are not then applying to mys site.

    1) I created a mystyle.css file and make changes that do not populate to the site.

    2) I have made background color change using the theme controls and the change does not populate to the site.

    3) I checked the button to not display header text since I have added a header image and header text still displays on all my pages except the home page.

    I am not getting a permissions error of any kind. Is there something else I need to do for the ability to edit the options for function properly?

    No, you’re not doing anything wrong. All your issues are related to some recent bugs in the theme.

    Sorry, I made some changes and fixed some bugs recently, which brought up some new ones. I’ll try to make an update that fixes them asap.

    Hi Daniel:

    http://d7444149.u40.websitesource.net/

    I uploaded the latest theme. Forgive me if I didn’t wait long enough and 1.6.3 was not the one intended to resolve the issues with changing the mystyle.css file but I am still not seeing my changes go live on my site. Am I still waiting for another update or is there something else I should be doing to resolve the issue?

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    Sorry but the issues are not yet fixed. Here’s a fast fix for the mystyle.css issue if you want to do them yourself:

    In header.php you should find this line:

    <link href="<?php get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/mystyle.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen" />

    replace it with:

    <link href="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/mystyle.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen" />

    Hey Daniel:

    I made that change yet still nothing I do (changes to style.css or mystyle.css or addition of a favicon.ico file to my images directory) changes the site itself. I clear my cache, I make changes (try to make the header 150 px tall, try to change font colors and sizes – no change on the site.

    The mystyle.css file now links correctly, changes should show up. When I look at it I can’t figure what changes you made, try just adding the modifications rather than providing a full copy. Another hint, if you try to override backgrounds try using the short rule [code]background:[/code] rather than [code]background-color:[/code].

    I can also see the header image and the text is gone. The background’s color rule is given in the document’s head, however it is overridden by the default image. I think I’ll have to provide a callback function for the custom background. Meanwhile, try as a temporary solution to upload an image with a solid color and use it as background.

    OK, I hope the issues are now resolved.

    What should work now:

    [list=1]
    [*]Calling custom stylesheet and favicon[/*]
    [*]Header should be styled properly[/*]
    [*]Custom background should show solid colors[/*]
    [/list]
