Preset Colors Or Custom Style are Not Working Properly
Joomla User
I just upgrade my site from J4 to J5.4.2 and updatet PageBuilder from 3 to 6.
I had a problem with error: Top-level selectors may not contain the parent selector "&". , 749 | &.sppb-btn-default { | ^ ' presets.scss 749:1 @import - 1:9 root stylesheet
I found a solution on the forum: When Complile SCSS to CSS is off, then the error is gone. So this setting is ‘off’.
I have settings of colors in: Presets > Custom Style but these colors do not show up. The header, menu and footer of my site has colors I did not install. So I set preset 1 as default, because that colors match better with the site. But when I tried changing colors in ‘preset 1’ nothing happened. The new colors I do not see.
How can I solve this?

Accepted AnswerHello,
Thank you for reaching out to us.
After changing any preset color, please run the SCSS to CSS compiler. Once the compilation is complete, save the settings. Then disable the compiler and save again.
This will ensure the changes are properly applied.
Thanks.

Accepted AnswerWhen I enable 'Compile SCSS to CSS' I get the: 0 Top-level selectors may not contain the parent selector "&". , 749 | &.sppb-btn-default { | ^ ' presets.scss 749:1 @import - 1:9 root stylesheet
I can press save and enable it, but nothing changed. The error is one of the problems.
