[Plugin: W3 Total Cache] W3TC CDN = Wrecking my CSS

    I have a custom WP theme, Flexsqueeze. This theme is great for sales and squeeze pages, is very customizable in appearance and I use it extensively. Recently I changed the style of my navigation menu to be more user-friendly at:

    https://theaveragegenius.net

    Basically the font is bigger and it’s Arial. Before it was tiny.

    So when I save changes and use W3TC – those changes aren’t apparent. They don’t get applied at all. I’ve contacted the theme developer and he said:

    It really sounds on the menu thing like the current stylesheet isn’t being loaded that would include your latest changes, or there is something wrong with the code after W3 minifies the file. Make sure you’re not minifying anything with W3.

    So I took his advice and deselected “minify” – even though my CDN (MaxCDN) says to use minification for optimal performance. But that dind’t work, either. I don’t know how to get W3TC to pull my CSS files so I can make these style changes, AND use my CDN.

    Currently I’m not using either, and my load time has suffered for it.

    Any help would be great.

    There’s a “purge” button at MaxCDN I used, I didn’t have to do much really. I found my pull zone, went to cache and hit purge I think. That did the trick.

    Sorry for the silly questions, now that you mention it, it makes perfect sense! Thanks for the help.

    Right, that probably purged everything from the cache, lol. Anyways, glad it worked for you. There’s also a Purge button in W3TC in the CDN section but you have to enter the path to the file you want purged. Hasn’t been working for me, though MaxCDN’s purge button hasn’t either.

    Would appreciate a bug submission form and / or errors from the web server error log on this issue to see what’s causing this.

    Next time, if there is a next time for these errors, I’ll do that.
