[Support request] generate-style-inline-css

[Jens]

Hello,

Today I changed the setting “Dynamic CCS Print Methode” to “External File”.

My expactation was that all inline styles from generate press move into ccs file. He also postpones the largest part, but unfortunately a remainder remains. I find the adjustment pointless if only one part is postponed.

Unfortunately, this part remains.

<style id="generate-style-inline-css">
.is-right-sidebar{width:30%;}.is-left-sidebar{width:30%;}.site-content .content-area{width:70%;}@media (max-width: 768px){.main-navigation .menu-toggle,.sidebar-nav-mobile:not(#sticky-placeholder){display:block;}.main-navigation ul,.gen-sidebar-nav,.main-navigation:not(.slideout-navigation):not(.toggled) .main-nav > ul,.has-inline-mobile-toggle #site-navigation .inside-navigation > *:not(.navigation-search):not(.main-nav){display:none;}.nav-align-right .inside-navigation,.nav-align-center .inside-navigation{justify-content:space-between;}}
.dynamic-author-image-rounded{border-radius:100%;}.dynamic-featured-image, .dynamic-author-image{vertical-align:middle;}.one-container.blog .dynamic-content-template:not(:last-child), .one-container.archive .dynamic-content-template:not(:last-child){padding-bottom:0px;}.dynamic-entry-excerpt > p:last-child{margin-bottom:0px;}
</style>

Hi there,

thats correct, there is still some dynamic CSS that remains inline.
reasons for that varies, some is because it performs better inline, and some is just the complications when dealing with dynamic CSS generation.
With each update we move closer too 100% being moved, but there will probably always be a little inline.

Hi David,

Thank you for your answer.

I’m a bit surprised. Since you actually only have to move the rest into the CSS file. What’s the problem?
I’m considering removing it myself and just adding it to my custom CSS. I don’t change anything about the layout of the page anyway. Is that a good or bad idea?

Best regards
Jens

We don’t scrape the CSS from the rendered page and move it to a file like a lot of cache optimization plugins do.
The CSS is dynamically generated, its a real complicated process as the CSS comes from many places.

You can try moving the CSS, to your own external stylesheet.
You may find it works just fine.
