WordPress won’t use my updated CSS file unless I rename it!!

  • I’m having a problem with my web site where WordPress keeps sending the old CSS files even though I’m 100% sure I’ve edited them.

    I’ve tried almost everything mentioned here (except the database/PHP parts because I don’t think they’re related):

    But nothing worked.

    I finally decided to change the name of the CSS file my index.php calls, and renamed the CSS file as well, and the change was displayed. But if I edit the CSS file again, it will still show the old one and I have to repeat the process and pick a different name.

    What could be wrong here?

    Try loading the style.css file directly in your browser. This is just to make sure that the file has been updated.

    If it was updated, check the source from your web page. It might be that the theme is not referencing the CSS file you think it should be.

    It could be your browser cache, some browsers are very slow to load updated style.css files. Try pressing the reload button on the browser and/or emptying the browser cache.

    Updates not appearing could also be due to a WordPress caching plugin. If you are using one of these plugins, try deleting it.
