why do you think they would be the same? I can access the one in wp-content and it does indeed have 203px in it…  one is old generated file and one is new generated file…  where do you think the 203 or the 230 is coming from?  normally it would be the sp theme… this appears to be default with shades of grey overlay… which our current version of that would output 230… 

you have talked about manually editing the cache file… which on are you editing?

what does forum – integration – storage locations point to?  thats the one we will use…

I am really confused now…

To edit the theme, I have always edited the file in wp-content. Nothing else.

So, to make the modifications I need it’s now necessary to modify the file shades-of-gray.php.

Am I right?

when users want to change theme settings then we always recommend that you create your own SP theme so that any customisation is not lost during a future update. (http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/themes/theme-basics/creating-a-theme/)

Stefano, as we have been saying, if you are going to modify the cached css, you MUST modify the one used on forum – integration – storage locations… editing the other one that is no longer used (I would delete it – perhaps our upgrade script failed there) wont have ANY effect…

BUT as I have been saying, editing the cached file will ALWAYS be risky as it could be regenerated and lose your changes…

But as Andy says, the best way to handle this is to create your own theme (his link) and then edit your theme for your changes.. they will get auto put into the cached css file when its generated…  and you wont have to do this but the one time…

Thank you boys!

I have a lot of work to do. The only major problem is, I do not have access to the codex as it says my membership as expired…
