[Support request] Modifications in customizer not applied to website

[Paul]

Hey,
sometimes it happens, that my modifications using the customizer are applied in the preview, but not on the live-site after saving. Any idea what might be the reason for that?

And is there any option to show the author name left and the date on the right side in blog mode?

Cheers,
Paul

Hi there,

generally two reasons for the customizer settings not updating:

1. Browser Cache needs clearing.
2. Customizer > Save as Draft – at the top of the customizer beside the Save/Publish button is a cog – click that and make sure its set to Publish and not Save as Draft.

Have you added any code already for the styling of the author and date ?

Hey David,

thanks for reply. No chance to change with the customizer. Its about the padding of the right sidebar which I want to set to 20px and it always remains at 10px. May I send you login data?

This are the css modifcations considering author and date area:

.posted-on .updated {
    display: inline-block;
}

.posted-on .updated + .entry-date {
    display: none;
}

.posted-on .updated:before {
    content: "zuletzt aktualisiert am ";
}

.author-name:before {
    content: "// erstellt von ";
}

Can you clear and disable the autoptimize plugin so i can see why the CSS is not being applied?

Okay, I just disabled the plugin. Let me know if there is anything else to do in order to help you detecting the issue.

Ok so in Customizer > Additional CSS you have this which is overriding the customizer:

.widget-area .widget {
    padding: 10px
}

You can use the post meta filter to re-arrange the order of the meta:

Your Array in that filter would look like this:

return array(
        'author',
        'date',
    );

Thanks, can I also disable the self-referring link of the date by that?

[David]

You can use this filter to remove the link:
