You're a rockstar Carrie. That's what I meant, thanks!

[MM]

Thanks Sridhar - almost there!

If anyone has the same problem, here's some updates (though not fixed yet)

This might not be the default Epik theme setup, but you can create a Genesis Before Header widget area.

Using: http://wpsites.net/web-design/widget-genesis/

But...

Now when I create my secondary menu, and added it using a Custom Menu to the Genesis Before Header Widget Area, the menu links show up vertically.

Has anyone found the solution for that? Thanks!

Thanks for your help Anitac. After lots of learning, this solved it.

.woocommerce #inner .wrap {
  background-attachment: scroll;
  background-clip: border-box;
  background-color: #FFFFFF;
  background-image: none;
  background-origin: padding-box;
  background-position: 0 0;
  background-repeat: repeat;
  background-size: auto auto;
  box-shadow: 0 3px 6px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
  margin-bottom: 40px;
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: auto;
  margin-top: 0;
  padding-bottom: 0;
  padding-left: 0;
  padding-right: 0;
  padding-top: 20px;
}

Thanks Stewart - that solved everything! Cheers

Thks Anita. Yes all done. They suggest in their documentation that there will be issues with the shop and single product pages. I'm unsure what the correct 'hooks' code would be, as it needs adapting from their suggestion.

Hi Anitac (or others) - I've deployed WooComm now at mikemetcalfe.co

I'm still trying to get all woocomm pages to display with my genesis page defaults.

ie. trying to get http://mikemetcalfe.co/e-store/ (no white border, grey background)

to display like

http://mikemetcalfe.co/e-store/cart/ (white border)

All pages are selected on the same template but it's something to do with this :

http://docs.woothemes.com/document/third-party-custom-theme-compatibility/

I've tried the Content and Hooks methods (but perhaps didn't have the right Hooks code)

Any ideas? Thanks!

[MM]

Thks Anita. Received your email though few WooComm users there. All underway with making CSS changes.

I'd thought buttons / sizes / paddings etc where only altering .woocommerce sections, but seems they've changed other sections.

Perhaps you or someone knows this... what needs adding to certain sections to ensure CSS only changes in that section?

i.e. I thought changing the below would allow change particular CSS element widths on WooComm pages

.woocommerce input, select, textarea {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
border: 1px solid #DDDDDD;
padding: 0.313rem 0.625rem;
width: 60%;

Alas, it changes jetpack contact forms and other things also.

Is there a great post out there on controlling various sections and their H Sizes, margins, paddings etc??

Thanks!

[MM]

Thanks Anitac. I'm impressed by the section under the "7 Reasons" - specifically the ability to show multiple headers/icons and click / hover across, while still showing full width content related to each heading, as clicked. If anyone knows have to replicate such features, I'm all ears. Cheers!

Carrie and Trish - thanks for all the help. Cory (Plugin Author of Duplicator) found the problem. I was using WP-Minify plugin. Even though all other caches (W3 Total) had been cleared, WP-Minify hadn't. For anyone with this problem, just deactivate the plugin to clear the cache and your localhost CSS should now display.

[MM]

In case it helps any ideas... here's what it looks like

Hi Trisha - I'm a WP rookie but if you mean compare page source of live site vs localhost...

I found these page source differences via diffchecker - http://diffchecker.com/3x74ilka

(Most seem to be the domain link though?)

Using diffchecker again, it says the two functions.php files are identical. Is that an issue?

[MM]

Hi Carrie,Trisha,Others

Here's the results... I was able to connect the existing database onto the new WP installation's site folder, on Localhost.

BUT... again there's no CSS working on the login screen or the front end. No idea - this could make changes quite tough.

[MM]

Thks Carrie - yes it's weird (and sorta fun!). Will try export / imports and seeing if I can get CSS working with old database content... stay tuned 😉

[MM]

Thks Trisha. I just installed a basic site with 2012 theme - and the CSS / layout looks fine.

I then loaded Genesis parent and Epik child theme into the new Localhost - CSS appeared on the 'hello world' post.

Strange? It just doesn't seem to work when connecting my actual database with lots of existing posts / pages.

[MM]

Thanks Carrie but that didn't work either. I tried replacing as suggested, and also even ran Duplicator again.

Still no CSS. I'm confused as to why theme CSS works fine on my live site but no themes work on my localhost.

[MM]

Thks Trisha.

Yes, html elements showing (i.e. blue links, images, menu & footer words) but zero styling.

I look at the page source and found no link to style.css

[MM]

Good tip. Just tested and no, 2012 theme isn't successfully activating the CSS.

I had previously tested both Epik and 2012 on a live site and they worked fine.

?

[MM]

Thks Carrie. Using Epik theme and yes, style.css is definitely there - so unsure why it doesn't work.

[MM]

Thanks Anitac - that worked well.

Used Firebug but couldn't figure out how to change the box colour on CSS. Code not in regular CSS file.

Cheers
