After I updated to 3.0, the style sheets on my site are loading slowly. It shows the default settings for about 3-4 seconds before loading the correct ones. How can I fix this?
Hi
That delay appears because when the page it’s loaded first time is requested the style from style.css file then the one from theme panel. A possible solution to avoid that delay would be to insert all css generated by the theme in style.css. To do that you’ll have to locate the custom css in page’s source, copy it and paste it in style.css. However in your case this won’t be an easy task because page’s source is minified and it’s hard to find that code. Currently you have this code generated in theme panel: http://pastebin.com/VnAmUDPH so try to paste in style.css file then test again. If you will make some changes in theme’s options you will have to update the code.
Thanks!
The question is why did this suddenly start happening after the upgrade? It never did this before.
Hi
This behavior appear in almost any case when the page load take a bit more time or Speed Booster plugin is used. Also I’ve noticed that you’re using some minifictions and the css from theme panel it’s loaded at page bottom aster all other resources are requested. Try to paste the indicated code in style.css as I’ve indicated above, clear all caches then test again.
Thanks!
That seems to have fixed it… but won’t this be undone with any subsequent update?
And I’m still confused as to why this just started happening with the update. I’ve used the minification plugin for a while now. It seems like this is an issue created by the update.
Hi
When the theme is updated any custom modification made in its files will be lost so you will have to re-add them again. Also our theme was not tested with any minification plugin and we can’t say for sure if these plugin will affect its functionality.
Thanks!
