I have a site built around Joomla, It was working fine from the time it was built. But from few days back the css changes in any of the css files are not reflecting in the site. I am able to see all the other UI changes except CSS. I have cleared he cache and checked from different ISP but no result. Can anyone suggest me how to resolve this.
Thanks in advance.
I think you are using a Template which uses LESS instead of CSS. If so, see if there are any folder inside "/public_html/templates/your_template/less/" exists or not.
If it exists then you have to create (if it is already not there) a css file named "custom.css"
inside "/public_html/templates/your_template/css/" folder and write your CSS code inside this file.
Joomla will pickup this "custom.css" file at last and your changes will be reflected.
Sorry for late reply but I found the answer. It is due to enabling CloudFlare in my hosting account. When I reached to my Hosting support they disabled the CloudFlare and everything started working fine and I am able to see all the CSS changes.

I am using cPanel on BlueHost to make a website for a client. I have uploaded my files to the public.html folder and everything is live and looks good. But when I make changes and upload the files again.. some of the new html elements that I have added dont show up on mobile. They show up on desktop so I know its working and registering but idk why it wont show up on my phone. Any ideas? Im not sure if its a cPanel problem. I dont think its a Sass problem either. Do mobile devices take longer to recognize changes on a hosted site? Any help would be great. Thanks.
Thanks for joining the community. I'll be glad to help you or find a solution.
If you are just copying and pasting the files from your computer to the cpannel keep in mind that you need to change the path of some files in order for them to grab the style or any external sheet, I had a similar problem when uploading my website
When I try and change my current CSS or add new CSS to my style-sheet no change shows up (tags are still being styled by the old unchanged code).
For example, if I delete the contents of a class and I go into chrome debug tool using F12, I can see that the contents which I deleted are still showing up - even if I clear the cache by pressing Ctrl+Shift+R, OR by pressing Ctrl+F5!
All the other files of my website seem to be updating correctly, so if I use inline styles it will update correctly.
Strangely when I go into my websites control panel and manually download the CSS style-sheet from my server I can see that the code has indeed being updated with the new code, this is weird because upon inspecting it with F12, I can still see the old code with no changes.
I am using Microsoft Webmatrix to do my coding.
I am using the Chrome Web browser.
I am using Hostgator hosting.
I've exhausted all my trouble shooting options and have been beat by something that by all means should not occur. I think I've had a problem like this before and I think that it was solved by just waiting a day for whatever magic to work but I shouldn't have to wait. A problem like this is absolutely unacceptable in a live environment. Any ideas of what could be causing this?
FIXED!
changed: https://example.com/app/source/css/main.css
to this: https://example.com/app/source/css/main.css?v=1
You could try ctrl + shift + r (on a PC) to hard reset the browser and make sure the cache isn't displaying old CSS.
One thing is to verify you are editing the correct file. I managed to have that issue one time when I had two files named the same, but one was outside the folder with the index.html and that was the one I was editing.
Add ?v=1 behind the URL of the CSS link in the head, which will force using a non-cached version, because of the different (new) file name. The number should be unique, so if you want to use this in the future, make sure to replace the 1.
I was working on some CSS code and then suddenly the server stopped reflecting any changed made on the server. At first I thought it was a caching problem but I disabled caching on my browser and even tried using different browsers but still it's using the old version of my CSS file.
If I download my CSS file from the server and open in the text editor, it shows all the changes I made to the code but they don't reflect on my website at all. The site is using old version of the CSS file that doesn't even exist anymore on the server.
What on Earth is happening with my server? Can it be a router caching problem?
I can't answer this but try to add in your html, where you include the css this: ?v1.
Example: src="resources/yourDir/style.css?v1"
This will force everything to download the new css.
You can add after the ? everything you want. Like a timestamp, just a number or words. Whatever you like.
Someone please explain this to me. I'm going crazy. I have a wordpress site and i can never make changes and simply see them in a browser.
So i get that i have to clear all caches etc etc etc. I do so and here are the scenarios:
a) i have w3 cache installed and then my website loads with no css.
b) i disable w3 cache but my website shows up with old css changes. I've added a whole bunch of .xxxxxxx { padding-right: xxpx;} things and they don't appear. But it is only the current changes that i'm in putting that are not showing up. i have a whole bunch of edits taht are showing up. So it must be some kind of cache!!!!##!##!##
I'm going nuts here. About to throw my computer out the window. Is there a way to just disable all caching or something of this nature until i'm done editing the website.

I think your theme doesn't have support for w3 total cache. Just go into minification and select minification only (dont use "combine"). If the theme isn't built properly then it overrides the order that the files are loaded in. Secondly make sure that you edit the actual files (that are inside your theme directory) and not the cached ones.
Another thing to look into is the file permissions, right now the files cannot be accessed on your server. So make sure when you goto the address of your cached files, you should see a minified version of the files (right click > view source)

I'm having a rough time with Magento. I spent a good deal of time going through the user guide on the Responsive theme, setting up Compass and editing SCSS files and whatnot, but was having the hardest time getting the changes to actually appear on the frontend.
I refreshed/flushed the cache, deleted contents of var/session and var/cache folders, I made sure the site was picking up the correct .css file under 'page source' in chrome.
It seemed like I could get the changes to apply if I changed 'merge css files' to yes, but even when the changes displayed if I made updates they wouldn't be pushed to the front end!
I changed the base URLs, however, and noticed that the secure URL for our site will load the correct .css and actually display the changes, while the unsecured URL says its loading the same .css file but NOT showing the changes.
I'm sure this is simple, but I'm going insane trying to figure out exactly what the problem is. Please let me know if you need more specifics from me!
Thanks a bunch,
Jesse
