Custom CSS not working after upgrade

[Gersnet]

Forum upgraded over weekend and obtaining following issues:

If attempting to use previous custom theme the following error report appears:

[[Template core/front/global/footer is throwing an error. This theme may be out of date. Run the support tool in the AdminCP to restore the default theme.]]

If I disable that theme, restore default theme then my custom css then stops working and some images don't appear.

Please advise. 🙂

Im a little confused as to what you mean here. If you restore the default theme, then indeed customisations wouldnt be working, as you are now using an unaltered theme. Please could you explain further what you mean here?

Hi Mark,

My existing theme reports the template error above.

As such, when I restore the default theme (but with my changes to the custom css file applied) the css changes don't seem to work. 

For example:

/* Change colour of reaction count to light blue */
.ipsAreaBackground_positive {
    background: #2a85ce;
}

Have you checked any other selectors there, to ensure its not simply the selector itself that is incorrect? I ask as from the comment there you appear to be wanting to change a number, where the property you are targeting is a background

I would need to know specifically (please screenshot) what you are trying to change there if you believe this to be the case

Ah, it's my mistake, I was looking at the wrong label. Problem fixed.

No problem at all 🙂
