Modifications in customizer not applied to website

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?

You can use this filter to remove the link:
