SharePoint Custom CSS Changes Not Appearing

This is a good one!... You create a new CSS file for SharePoint (based on a copy of SPS.CSS), save it to the same directory as SPS.CSS, then use the SharePoint Admin interface to tell SharePoint about it.  You look at the UI and it looks great.  Some users are reporting that the still see the old SharePoint (blues and oranges).  You look at the pages and they looked customized.  What gives?!

Check the permissions on the custom CSS file.  Consider it an “override” of the SPS.CSS style sheet.  If a user does not have permissions to read the file SharePoint will default to the original style.  In this example, the new CSS file had Administrator read privileges... that's why some folks saw the changes and other didn't.

Why not put the style sheet in a document library within Sharepoint and then refer the SharePoint Admin interface to the file within the document library. Works fine for us.

# re: SharePoint Custom CSS Changes Not Appearing

Hi there,

I amtrying to have a different css style for a variety of sub sites. I was on a course about two months ago where the trainer quickly showed us how to import a css style file that affected only that sub site and lower level pages within that site. Unfortunately I have forgotten how he said to do it.

Any ideas anyone

Regards

Carl
