Just updated to 1.8 and decided now is a good time to create a child theme and maybe speed up load time a bit. Created the folder, and style.css file. Went to Options > Advanced > Move Generated CSS and copied the css into the style.css file and checked the “I have moved the generated CSS” button.

Uploaded. Refreshed. What? Blog is now 200px less in width while images and ads spill over the content and widgets.

Can you add the child theme back in so I can take a look?

You were looking at the cached version – I didn’t clear the cache once I saw the problem so visitors wouldn’t notice.

Cache is cleared.

Thanks… one sec.

EDIT: I still don’t see the child theme activated??

I sure can (using a both a different browser and from a different PC). Width is 960px when it should be 1160px.

OK, forgot to activate. Child activated, but now all styling is gone.

Sorry, got busy.

You can send me an email, and we can find a time that works for us both. I understand you don’t want your site “messy” for an extended period of time.

As of right now the issue is resolved. I assumed the CSS provided on the Move screen was complete and left out the import statement. Once the statement was added everything worked as expected. However, I’ve temporarily reverted to 1.7.3 for performance reasons.

What performance reasons?
