Update messed up colors on website

Asked by Robert 4 years ago Last activity 3 years ago

Hi, did the update for Helix but now the colors are now messed up. Background what was white is now red. Topbar background is also red now. Cleared cache on template and browser. Switched compile css in the template but no effect. Had to set the site offline before the client sees this. Now the hover on menu is blue insteaad of yellow.

edit one hour later: tried to do the preset colors again and now the topbar is black instead of green, this won't work at all using presets.

Have set the background color to white in the layout section. Background is now white again because of this but it's not as it should be. After a update the colors shouldn't change at all, very bad. Had the colors edit through custom css to get it ok again.

The hover on the main menu remains blue, (should be #f5d357 - yellow as set in the presets) looks like this is a standard setting somewhere in the template that will be called.

How can I update other websites knowing this happens? Seen on the forum more people having issues with the update.

I have tried toggling the Compile SCSS to CSS within the Advanced tab of the template options also. now set to off again. Purged cache in general setting /pagebuilder settings. The preloader clock is blue again also instead of yellow.

Hi

Apology for your experience with our product. If you want I can try to solve this by using custom CSS. You can give me the screenshots which you want to change.

-Regards.

i have done most now with custom css. What I mean is it would be crazy a person have to fix all colors with custom css after an update. This update should be removed asap from the downloads.

I noticed in Chrome the Background was white and in all Firefox and Safari the white background turned into some kind of red/pink. When someone runs a quick update depending after the actions they do, they don't even realize their website colors changed.

Have updated 2 websites, both went crazy on colors. One on a local machine, the other on a live server.

I love your product, it's the latest update that has a bug with css.

In the screenshot is the last that remains wrong. All other colors are fixed now.
Only the active and hover item should be yellow, the rest should be white. its the bottom menu.

When I do this I'm afraid all future made links hyperlinks on the body will be white, it should only apply the menu addon on the bottom.

#sp-main-body a { color: #ffffff; }

Thx in advance

Now I got this error in the template:

$color: 545454 is not a color.: templates/shaper_helixultimate/scss/presets.scss on line 197, at column 9 Call Stack: #0 import templates/shaper_helixultimate/scss/presets.scss (unknown file) on line 1

Any Idea? I see no wrong hex code in the template. the page won't work any more

You can use this for bottom links

 #sp-main-body a {
    color: #fff !important;
}

For color code please use # otherwise it will not work. For example #545454

Hi, using that code I will push it all to white, including active and hover.

Compile SCSS to CSS on gives the error:

templates/shaperhelixultimate/scss/presets.scss on line 197, at column 9 Call Stack: #0 import templates/shaperhelixultimate/scss/presets.scss (unknown file) on line 1

Turning compile off and the error is gone. But even when set to on the error shouldn't be there. Set compile to on the whole english section isn't visible on the frontend.

The error only occurs in the English Template, not in the other templates (multi-language site)

I have looked everywhere multiple times if I forgot to add an "#" somewhere but can't see that one missing.

It all happened after the last update.

Please, is it possible to check the backend/templates what is the issue?

Hi,
They where in the post above. Also placed here now.

when switching between compile to css in the EN template the error occurs. Then the whole frontend gives an error.

Hi

Please always turn off compile css . Otherwise it gives you the error.

Any reason why? before the update it was fine and why only on that template?
Can you please explain the reason, trying to understand is it a fault/bug in the latest Helix update?

And about the bottom menu? Forcing through custom css will force all to one color including active and hover.

I see no sign of anyone else but me logged in to see what happens or check it.
