My server supplied the answer.

Under CDN I have to remove cdn.mysite.com from “Replace site’s hostname with:”

No not resolved!!! Aaargh!!

I went to bed with my CSS changes in place. Woke up this morning and refreshed the page and they’ve gone!!

What goes on?

Resolved! In the W3 settings, I added style.css and custom.css to Performance>CDN>Rejected files and the changes rendered.

Thank goodness for this thread! I also would have had no clue what to put in the Default Home location.

../ seems to do the trick.

Apart from that thank you for what seems to be an excellent plugin.

I’ve been able to do it by setting up a css class:

.English {
direction: ltr;
  unicode-bidi: embed;
    text-align: left;
}

But now I’ll have to go through the whole site to change everything. If anyone has a more straightforward suggestion I’d be very grateful.

Thank you so much Stephen! Indeed, assigning a new menu to the new theme solved the problem.

I deleted the secondary menu, but the problem persists.

Even when I preview the parent of the child theme I am using I get the same thing (massive box at top with all the menu and sub menu titles.)

Thank you for any help!!

Oh thank you for replying!!

Yes I have a primary and secondary menu. When you say re-assign, do you mean I have to build a completely new menu and use that for the theme change? And discard the old menu? I don’t see any other option in Manage Locations.

This makes trying out a new theme quite a task………..

I tried de-activating all plugins but it made no difference.

Here is a link to a screenshot of the problem.

Horrible right??

Every theme I’ve tried, other than the current one, looks something like this.

I would be so grateful if someone could tell me how to clear the old cached version of my website in order to see the latest style.css changes?

Here is the site:

https://photomobil.co.il/

I’ve temporarily made changes in custom.css but it’s not a solution….

Thank you.

I think I might have found what the problem is but I would very much like an expert opinion.

Because of memory problems I have a caching plugin on my website. If I make changes to text, add pictures etc., I see them immediately. But is it possible that changes in CSS don’t show up because of the caching?

All of a sudden all of the experimental changes I was trying to make in style.css have appeared in one browser (Google Chrome), but the site looks as it did before in other browsers, no matter how many times I delete the browsing history.

Does this sound typical of problems caused by caching? Do I need to disable caching while I am trying to make changes to the css?

Thank you.

This is what I see when I inspect the element in Firebug:

h1, h2, h3 {
    color: #000;
    font-family: Arial,Helvetica,"Nimbus Sans L",sans-serif;
    font-weight: bold;
    text-rendering: optimizelegibility;

But in fact in style.css it has been changed to:

h1, h2, h3 {

	font-family: Arial, Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif;
	color: #990000 !important;
	font-weight: bold;
	text-rendering: optimizelegibility;

The changes in style.css are being ignored. Any suggestions as to why that could be?

Thank you.

Thank you very much for the prompt answer Peter!! Looking forward to the new version!

Thank you Tim. I will talk to my host.

Thanks Tim. Your explanation makes me even more suspicious that something weird is happening. It’s not a high traffic site by any means. The high CPU usage is typically in spikes, currently up and down the whole time. The spikes happen when I’m not doing any admin like publishing a post. There are no comments. I’m running 12 plugins, which I’ve swapped over for less memory consuming versions where I could. The thirstiest by far is Yoast SEO but I had the problem when I was running All in One SEO too. (It was a nasty shock to see how much more draining Yoast was but it has a feature I rely on and I don’t want to swap back at the moment).

In the last 48 hours CPU usage has increased drastically without me making any changes to the installation. I’m going to de-activate all plugins overnight to see what happens then.

I’m wondering if something could be happening at my host’s end which could be causing this? Or maybe I have some rogue script running that causes the spikes. I have spoken to my host about extra memory allocation but it would be extremely expensive.
