I have two categories with custom style sheets.  

I disabled the default k2css.

Everything seems to be working, then 1 of the categories stops pulling its style sheet, and reverts to my joomla template css. 

The funny thing is, the category is for a blog page and all customs styling seem to be present on entry page, but the styling disappears when you enter some of the  articles.  

Not sure what I've done wrong here, I would really appreciate some help with this.

 

thanks

 

I usually do not disable the default css, just put a copy of k2.css into the file yourtemplatename_style.css into the k2 override folder i am using and it takes over. Sometimes templates have built in k2 styling that may be at work here

Please post a link to a couple of pages so people can firebug it and see the difference

Thanks for your response. I forgot to dump the cache in the joomla back-end, that seemed to sort it out. 

 

Hi.

 

I have ran into some rare times where css4K2 does not load the category template properly and so the default k2.css is loaded instead (a cache cleaning always fixes it).  What I'd recommend is that you make sure that the default k2.css has the most important styling that you use in your other css so that in case this happens, your page falls back to something close to the rest of your site.

Willaim, what are the ramifications of replacing K2 css with the css from your template?

what do you loose inthe process? surely k2 offers things in their css that is not already in the template css

(I'm a total noob, so I have no clue)

Thanks,

Randall
