Anything that has a css class attached to it does not render the properties correctly on the front end.

I have checked front end using Arc and Safari.

Hi Luke,
Thanks so much for your report!

For some inexplicable reason, your classes are being chained with other elements—.hero--heading--text, for example, with .brxe-basic-text, even though it’s actually a heading element. Do you have any idea how to reproduce this?

You can probably solve the problem by disabling class chaining in Bricks » Settings » Performance. Still, it would be good to know how this happens…

P.S.: You should take a look at all your tags (or better remove them)… they all contain invalid syntax.

Best regards,
timmse

Hi @timmse, thanks for your response.

Very strange indeed.

I have managed to replicate this exactly in a new environment. I created a test environment and have a heading and button with a CSS class which is also not rendering correctly on the front end on the link below

Let me know if you would like some login details see you can have a look around.

I disabled link chaining in settings on the original site in question and this seems to have solved some of the issues, but some of the text colors and nothing in the header seems to be pulling through.

hi @timmse sorry for the follow up message but I think I know what is causing the issue.

When I create a new website I use a blueprint .wpress file which has the bricks plugin including all the plugins I use for a quick setup. This blueprint also saves Bricks settings that I normally switch on.

I have just created a new staging environment without the blueprint file and installed Bricks manually. All the CSS classes are rendering correctly on the front end so it must be to do with this blueprint file. I’m not sure exactly what though…

Please see this thread on how to get rid of it (I already removed it in this installation):

WAIT: Class not exported on front end (but working in editor) + empty class “.” impossible to delete

If you know of a way to create this empty class, please let us know :raising_hands:
