Prose minified.css issue

[ribbonfarm]

Hey guys:

I recently moved to SSL and the my genesis/prose site ribbonfarm.com has a few residual bugs related to hardcoded http URLs in the minified.css file generated by Prose.

Anybody else have this problem? The specific files are 3 .pngs used by the theme it seems. Unclear if just directly editing the minified.css file will do the trick since it will be regenerated anytime I make a design setting change.

Not sure how the minification works, and the Prose child theme doesn't appear to have been updated since 2013.

Prose does not have a minified style sheet, nor does it generate one. The minification appears to be something your host (WP Engine) is doing. And, the Prose style sheet uses relative URLS to display the images. The http is not hard coded anywhere. This is what it uses:

background: url(images/footer-list.png) no-repeat top left;

You need to work this issue through with your host or disable caching plugins.

Thanks, I checked again, and the setting is in Genesis itself, not Prose. Under Design Settings > General Settings, there is a box you can check for 'minify CSS?'

Unchecking that and saving fixed it, and then rechecking and re-saving preserved the new state. So looks like that regenerated the minified CSS appropriately.

Genesis doesn't have a setting for Design Settings. You must be using a plugin.

I know this is an old thread (and Prose is old), but it might help someone. It helped me to find the earlier discussion. It's confusing to me that Genesis and the child themes have different options between Genesis and Appearance - dependent on the child theme I suppose. When Prose is activated there is an option Genesis | Design Settings which has many settings including Minification on or off. When I first read Victor's response I looked for plugins, and did a find using Netbeans to help locate them. Some of the plugins do set minification (not necessarily optional), but Prose itself was responsible. It has created files under wp-content/uploads/prose - custom.css, custom.php, minified.css, and settings.css.

I'm not sure if knowing this helps me directly as I try to emulate the look and feel of a Prose site with Executive Pro (which doesn't have a default way to display the site-description along with the header image) but it may stop me going on some wild goose chases.

I would rather not restart the search for a theme (which is going to be used to combine two sites), but it's interesting that Prose (not updated since 2013), is still recommended as a responsive child theme.

Thanks for that tip, Ribbonfarm. Unchecking minify and then rechecking solved the mixed content problem for me.

Statistics is one of the most difficult subjects that are taught in the colleges and universities, and if you don’t particularly enjoy collection and analysis of data, you may have a difficult time coping with the academic pressure. Like any other field of academics, you also need to draft a number of statistics assignment help throughout the semester, and since they carry a significant amount of marks, there’s no way to avoid these daunting tasks.
