CSS in Tiny Theme not changing after edit

I’ve changed the CSS in my Tiny Theme at seanmcdevitt.net, and it won’t take. Right now, the background is white, but I’ve edited it to be a light tan in the CSS. I updated the theme, but the color change has not gone into effect. I changed the font color on links from blue to black, and that saved. I’m not sure what I need to do differently.

Appreciate any help

Perhaps related: Blog does not load CSS

I am having the same issue. Inspecting the published site shows default CSS for the theme, but in my Design section, the custom CSS is still there.

I resolved my issue on Blog does not load CSS by transforming my custom theme into a plugin. I added a plugin.json file in the root folder, to ensure that micro.blog incorporated the custom CSS and other static files needed for my custom theme, like this:

{
    "version": "1.0",
    "title": "My Customization",
    "description": "This is my customization",
    "includes": [
        "/css/custom.min.css",
        "/fonts/iosevka-fixed-ss03-bold-1731a53e9517931037d93cd9b5cf656a.woff",
        "/fonts/iosevka-fixed-ss03-bold-3146aa514ee08a1ed552599d8ce1c029.woff2",
        "/fonts/iosevka-fixed-ss03-regular-5cda2e12355dd1a046c368ed4a0e31ce.woff",
        "/fonts/iosevka-fixed-ss03-regular-b7aed84b4a3d74e5afed3a3438b0dc2b.woff2",
        "/images/logo.png"
    ]    
}

Please note that all the paths listed in includes are relative paths pointing to files stored inside the static folder, so for example /images/logo.png is actually referencing /static/images/logo.png.

For further information about plugin.json please have a look at this documentation: ℹ️ Plug-ins

I have a lot of catching up to do. Thank you everyone for trying to work through or around this.

Several days ago I made an optimization for how /static files were handled. It dramatically improved performance when you had a theme that had (for example) a bunch of fonts or other large files.

I suspect that something with custom CSS broke along the way. CSS is still working on my blog, so there must be a subtle different with certain themes.

Have I missed an update regarding CSS not changing when edited? I don’t believe this issue has been resolved.

I am also not seeing changes at davidcs.net. :-/

Something broke on my end as well…

It looks like the default Tiny CSS gets loaded, and not my custom theme (cloned from a repo). The css in the custom one is located at static/CSS/main.css. I have completely rewritten the CSS, so it’s clear it only loads the one from the plugin.

Also, I can’t uninstall the Tiny Theme plugin (even though I’m on the top Micro.blog plan). Will try the workaround by installing my custom theme as a plugin!

Glad to see you’re working on optimisation, though! Updating the CSS via Edit theme has been quite flaky lately.

I’ve finished fixing a couple issues related to custom CSS. Pretty sure it should be working well again!
