How do I see my changes after editing styling?

Edit Styling >
when i change the sheet the changes dont do anything on the page? even after hard refresh?

it does show 
"We detected a LESS version present in this installation that will be used. A LESS compiler is needed to compile the CSS versions (e.g. Developer Kit add-on)."

is this related?

thanks

Hi Zara. If you see the notice of a LESS version that means you selected the Advanced development mode during install which needs a LESS compiler to produce new CSS versions. Was your store installed using Softaculous?

To manually convert your site to use the standard CSS versions only, see this part:
https://github.com/litecart/litecart/blob/dev/public_html/install/install.php#L559-L582

It's also possible to upload all the files again and navigate to install/upgrade.php in the browser and select Development version from there the perform the upgrade (yes to the same version).

If you rather wanna continue using LESS you can install this add-on:
https://www.litecart.net/en/addons/163/developer-kit
We don't recommend this on a production platform as any hard refresh will recompile the files over and over again.

Was your store installed using Softaculous? yes

does the whole site need to be re installed to use CSS?

To manually convert your site to use the standard CSS versions only, see this part:

what do i do with this code? add? remove? all ? some?

thanks

I thought softaculous did CSS but I have reached out to them to have a look at that.

what do i do with this code? add? remove? all ? some?

My hopes were you would be able to read it, then being able to do those changes manually. But here are the most simple instructions I can think of:

1. Upload includes/templates/default.catalog/, and /install/.
2. Navigate to install/upgrade.php in your browser.
3. Select Standard and perform the upgrade.
4. Delete /install/.

Your default template should then be reset to use the CSS versions.

thanks for the advice, that should help anyone else with the same issue,
i just reinstalled the cart manually and choose CSS as you explained as i was still only in testing.

everything works as it should now, really like this ease of use

Wonderful to hear :)

if it helps, the only error i received was,

[i]Checking MySQL database default collation... utf8_unicode_ci [Warning] The database default collation is not 'utf8_swedish_ci' and you might experience future trouble with foreign characters. Try performing the following MySQL query: "ALTER DATABASE oniram_litecartmmm CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_swedish_ci;"[/i]

That's not an error. Just a heads up. You are fine.
