Hey,
Not sure if this is happening to just me, or is a wider issue…
Often when I’m working throughout a project, occasionally I will make changes to the CSS and when refreshing the page on Google Chrome, the changes will not occur. To counteract this I simply open up Safari and everything works perfectly fine.
Important to note that I’m using MAMP to run the local server.
Thanks,
Eliott
Hi Elliot,
I work from the same local environment (Mac/MAMP). However, I’ve found that the same thing can occur in Firefox as well as Chrome (local changes to CSS files are not updated/rendered in the browser).
The most reliable method I’ve found in preventing this is to force a hard refresh. CSS changes then show immediately. I’ve not had any issues with CSS not updating in any browser since using this method.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
John
Cheers John!
I’m basically always just hard-refreshing myself when working on assets, but maybe also have a look at how to use version strings for your css files:
For example, you could add the current timestamp as a version number to the <link> tag.
Also this plugin:
A simple way to fix the CSS not updating in the browers is to do a hard refresh.
You can simply do this by holding down shift + clicking refresh on any browser (mac).
