I am trying to: After deployment on the production server, whenever css is edited using the layouts editor, the custom styling is completely ignored on the frontend, as if the database field of Layouts CSS is empty. Whenever I restore the css back to the state before the edit (undoing the alteration), the styling is reapplied.

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: It affects the whole site.

I expected to see: I expected the css changes to be applied.

Instead, I got: No custom CSS applied at all!

Found another problem which makes wonder if there is an issue with the database connection. I can upload images to the wordpress media manager, but they aren't rendered in the media manager or the website frontend. This all seems too much of a coincidence and might be related.

EDIT: Solved. Unrelated.

Hi Raoul

If you visit a page on the front-end that uses a Layout then you should find that a dynamic CSS file with a meaningless name is enqueued—see my screenshot.

That is from your own site and shows the custom CSS saved at Toolset > Layouts CSS & JS.

Note that I made a small edit—adding the word test to the opening comment—and it is present on your site.

That is, my changes were saved and are active on the front-end of your site.

I can't reproduce the problem you describe on your site.

If I misunderstood the question, please let me know.

That's odd. It appears to be resolved. Maybe a database hiccup of some sort. Or cache related in my browser. Thanks all the same. Overall very pleased with Toolset. Becoming quite a crack at it! No going back to coding custom types and views for me! Thanks for the timely reply.
