My second question. i am trying to help make small changes to my Dad's website. I have made changes to his css which work fine when i inspect element and copy modified css into it. Then i logged into his server where the file is and got to the correct path which is http://www.brooklynbigandtall.co.uk/skin/frontend/default/magezon/css/styles.css. Then i cleared the cache at both ends, cleared out css/javascript cache but it still isnt taking effect. When i look into the server and get the css file called styles.css it shows my changes in there BUT when i view page source and look at the css thats loaded from the same path, my changes are not in it.

His web address is www.brooklynbigandtall.co.uk Really puzzled. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Template used is magezon and we are running magento 1.9.1.0

  • i'm not sure about this, may be the files are cached in server side (not in magento). Link

Magento use Sass and override all your changes in the style.css. You must edit the right sass file with any Editor and then compare it with compass or other.

  • I am pretty sure we are not using sass. Also sass isnt compatible with magento 1.9. its compatibility stops at 1.8.1

  • Also if we were using sass with 1.9 that would imply that our site would be using rwd???? its not responsive at all :) so unless somebody sheds more light on this I am ruling out sass

  • @waqar_lionheart sass is compatible with mage 1.9 why wouldn't it be?
