style.css has just the template authors details, however, in the index.php, a script calls for the import of the style sheet “/css/001.css” which is what I’ve been editing.
Ahah! Looking further down the index.php (or rather the header.php in this case) there is a require_once call to a “tmp_colors.php” which now pulls in colors as set by the template config in the back-end of WP. This is what was overriding everything I did.
Phew! Thought I was going mad… that’s what happens when you’re still trying to plug through this stuff at 4am!!!
Thanks for your help… you helped to convince me that I wasn’t a complete retard and thus gave me the confidence to keep looking for “extra” code.
Thanks
