Draft posts ignore custom style sheet

[dpalme]

I have included a custom style sheet in the header (simple hooks), but I've noticed that post drafts are ignoring or at least not seeing the custom style sheet. Is there an easy way to fix this?

You need to publish the post to have it show up on the site, otherwise you are only viewing it through admin CSS.

That seems so backwards to me, part of the preview is to see what a post will look like before its posted.

The current WordPress editor has a lot of shortcomings. When WordPress 5.0 is released next year, Gutenberg will be the default editor. The entire content entry landscape is going to change. If you install the Gutenberg plugin, you'll see what the future holds.

Ok so its still not working. I published a post and its still not picking up the custom CSS. I have added code in the genesis simple hooks to output a specific menu and header, but on the posts its ignoring it.

The three hooks I'm using are as follows:

wp_footer
genesis_before
genesis_header

Suggestions on how to fix this?

You're confusing me. A specific menu and header is not CSS. Headers and menus are PHP. And if you want a specific header and menu on a post, you have to remove the current header and menu and replace it with the new. All of this has to be wrapped in the is_singular() conditional.

If you really are talking about CSS, you don't use Genesis Simple Hooks for this. And you certainly would use a style sheet in genesis_before or genesis_after. Please try to explain in more detail what you are actually trying to do. What do you want to happen when viewing a post?

I have CSS that formats the page, the formatting is being ignored on the actual blog page.

I have the following showing up in the single blog page:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.palmeacres.com/styles.css">

I checked the source so its there, but in the post itself I have the following:

</p>

That styling is being ignored completely. I know it works because I'm also using in on a page and that is displaying just fine.

crap it posted the image and not the code sorry:

<img style="float: right; margin: 0px 0px 20px 20px;" src="http://www.palmeacres.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/hereford_herd.jpg"></p>

in the image you will notice its right justified and smaller in size. However the blog post shows the image as large as the page itself.

Why not just add page specific styling with page classes to the existing style sheet?

Adding another style sheet to load is inefficient.
