I expected to see: My site working correctly
Instead, I got: Upon activation of the new blocks plugin with OCEANWP installed, all my site styles are affected and the site doesn't show correctly. The issue 'can' be resolved by forcing toolset to load bootstrap 3, however then bootstrap overrides all my custom styling. There doesn't seem to be anyway of overriding whatever blocks is loading
I'd like to take a copy to install locally to see if I can identify what's happening.
For some reason the debug info isn't showing whether you have Blocks or Views active.
If you switched over to Toolset Blocks instead of Views, as a very first step you could use Views 3.0 instead and see whether you have the same problem.
Let me mark your next reply as private so that I can get log-in credentials from you—you may want to create a temporary admin user for me to use that you can later delete. And be sure to have a current backup of your site.
The test site didnt use blocks or views, however ive now added blocks plugin and it creates the same error upon activation. Hopefully you may find a fix.
Ive noticed that for some reason, blocks is loading a css file called oceans-overrides which is setting my container to 100% max width, yet oceanwp default is 90% on mobiles and tablets. I shouldn't have to dequeue or override this file and im unsure why you would force inclusion of a file to override my default oceanwp styles?
For some time Toolset has had an integration layer with OceanWP (as well as a number of other themes).
I'm not sure why those style overrides were deemed necessary, but they are part of that integration, and would be added with older versions of Views, for example.
There is no setting to disable it, so you would either need to dequeue it or leave it in place (if you intend to use Toolset Blocks or Views on the site) and override individual style rules as required.
