JA Simpli Template Manager is Broken

directivemsp1

Hello, I have downloaded and installed your JA Simpli template. It appears the Template Manager is broken. For example, I have changed the logo in the backend and updated the colors, yet they are not updated on the site (unless I add my own custom css to override the template which is probably what I will do.) I found the issue, it is within the core files of the template. If you navigate here: /templates/ja_simpli/css and then edit this file: custom-styles.tpl.css it is broken - the logo code is not written properly, please see my screenshot: https://drive.google.com/a/directive.com/uc?id=1uWbRygCxLuBskdYd_DS-iU_2ABvKPGNM

At first I downloaded and installed your latest version of the quickstart template files. There is no update for it, so it is the latest version. Then, just now, I downloaded and installed the regular Simpli (template files only) over the quickstart template files - also the most up to date version. Both of them do not have a working template manager. For example, I changed the logo in the template manager and the colors. In the template manager in the backend, it is showing up properly, on the frontend it is not. The colors should be: #13365e and #1ea6df but on the frontend, the main color is: #3498db. Please see my screenshot of the backend - template manager: https://drive.google.com/a/directive.com/uc?id=1jJVxPGp8BTgJys3Y2oyX9-9ZOAEhZbTa Please see my screenshot of the frontend: https://drive.google.com/a/directive.com/uc?id=1bpocPVveK9g9PUcdpn2VL6zka1XPrb It is not a cache issue as I have cleared the caches several times. The only way to change colors and logo is by using css and !important tags which is not best practice and I do not want to do that. I will provide the details of this website so you can take a look but the template manager is in fact broken. So it may be a new issue that I am reporting to you now.

Can you please provide the correct code and can you also make sure that that code is applied to the template in the next update? If I am to use this template for a client, and customize it with the template manager and then the template gets updated with the wrong code and it breaks, we will have a very unhappy client.

Please advise, thanks!

Hi
I have gone through your previous post about this topic and here,
for the logo i am not able to replicate this issue as the same logo is showing fine. I tried to change the logo on quickstart installed site and it worked there too.

Now as you said the color on the backend theme designer you applied But if i look here http://prntscr.com/nvqrta on your template style this color is not applied #13365e

To make a test on your site i changed the background color from your template style here http://prntscr.com/nvqs6l
save changes, clear cache and check frontend : http://prntscr.com/nvqshm
Its working fine. I keep it change for now so you can check the same.

What i feel here is you are applying changes to a wrong template style. The default home page your site is Home Corporate That using Simpli - [Corporate style] Template. You need to apply the changes on this template style.

If there is any color that is not working, Kindly give details on which part you applied color on backend that is saved but not appear on frontend, Like in example i shared with you.

Regards

Hi thanks for your reply. I figured out what was wrong, I had Advanced Template Manager installed and when I uninstalled it, it started working again. I am all set, thanks for your help!
