WAIT: Theme Styles not working as intended

[pikselerator]

Browser: Firefox
OS: Windows

2.0 - I installed the new Bricks 2.0 and tried to import the Theme Styles from one of my previous sites - the ‘import’ button is not responding, before or after I define a new theme name. Conditions is set to ‘Entire website’ by default.

This is a clean Wordpress site, a child of Bricks 2.0, local and a live site.

1-12-4 - So I tried the same on the latest stable Bricks, on a local site - and noticed more issues:

• Changing the Theme Styles theme changes the styles, but only in the working area - live does not change, before or after the page save.

• After refreshing the working area, styles revert back as the setting never changed.

• I don’t know if the Theme Styles suppose to change the ‘Save’ icon status (yellow dot), but now it does not. We do not know if we should ‘save’ after a style change, and if saving is done.

• By some combination of making, deleting and renaming the themes I managed to change it from Global Styles into the imported one, but now I cannot revert back - unless I delete it.

• I also tried a fresh, clean Bricks theme (1-12-4 and 2.0), not a child, made 2 simple theme styles with different backgrounds - same. We cannot jump from one style to another.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need more info.

Hi Marko,
Thanks so much for your report!

1. Theme style import in 2.0-alpha: This has already been reported here: WIP: Bricks 2.0: Can't upload theme styles JSON
2. We haven’t received any reports regarding theme styles in 1.12.4, and I can’t replicate any issue, so I assume there is a misunderstanding of how the theme styles work.

Let me try to address all issues:

@pikselerator

Changing the Theme Styles theme changes the styles, but only in the working area - live does not change, before or after the page save.

Make sure to apply a condition to your theme style, as otherwise, it will not apply on the front end.

@pikselerator

After refreshing the working area, styles revert back as the setting never changed.

Make sure to save before refreshing the page and, if there’s no condition yet, select the correct theme style to see its styles on the canvas.

I don’t know if the Theme Styles suppose to change the ‘Save’ icon status (yellow dot)

They do (tested in 1.12.4 and 2.0-alpha), see the dot above the save icon:

@pikselerator

By some combination of making, deleting and renaming the themes I managed to change it from Global Styles into the imported one, but now I cannot revert back - unless I delete it.

Without knowing/seeing precisely what you have done, I can’t say anything about this.

I also tried a fresh, clean Bricks theme (1-12-4 and 2.0), not a child, made 2 simple theme styles with different backgrounds - same. We cannot jump from one style to another.

Works fine for me, see this temporary screencast: CleanShot 2025-04-29 at 10.35.09 · CleanShot Cloud
