Hi,

I'm losing my mind here and need some help.

I just updated from version 2.5.7 to 2.6.5. Under 2.5.7, I had successfully been able to make site-wide changes to CSS by putting updated files in components/com_k2/css. After the upgrade and making conforming edits in the new k2.css file, copying my (now edited) k2.css into that same folder has no effect on the site.

An example would be trying to remove the 'zebra' background stripes on a k2 content module. I've specified "background:none !important" in k2.css, though the background continues to show. When I look with Firebug, it shows "background: none", from k2.css -- yet when I click on that line the background actually disappears. I had also made other changes in the css file for this module, none of which are reflected. You can see an example in the "recent recipes" module on my home page: www.freedible.com.

I have also tried doing this the *right* way as I understand it (putting the k2.css file in /templates/MYTEMPLATE/css), also to no avail. I am using RocketTheme's Metropolis template if that makes a difference, and likewise I tried to follow the steps for implementing this on a per-category basis using k24css -- but that didn't work either. Any ideas what I'm missing???

Thanks very much,
Cheryl

try changing
http://www.freedible.com./templates/rt_metropolis/css-compiled/thirdparty-k2.css

I was having problems overriding /templates/rt_TEMPLATE/css-compiled/thirdparty-k2.css, but you don't want to edit that file as it is compiled from /templates/rt_TEMPLATE/less/thirdparty-k2.less. I was able to make the changes I wanted by editing that LESS file.
