Hi Skydesign

We eventually found a solution to this problem which worked on our site and might work for you.

Firstly, make sure your permissions are set as above (777 on the custom-styles.css file).

Secondly, add the following to your wp-config.php file (in the root):
define(‘FS_METHOD’, ‘direct’);

We suspect the issue has something to do with the default WordPress file system functions, and the way they are used by the Redux plugin used in this theme and it is not writing direct to the server.

I would also recommend removing this setting when you go live with your site because I don’t know what the security implications might be

Hi Chris

I have checked the custom-styles.css and it’s empty. It’s got 777 permissions, so it should be writeable just fine.

If I add something manually to this file it works, and if I add something to the Custom Styles box that works (though I know this executes differently), but none of the styling options seem to to be saving.

I checked using the WP customise template manager and got the same (no) result. I also tried in both Chrome and Firefox just in case.

There are no PHP errors or javascript errors that I can see. We are on WP 4.3.1 if that helps.

Thanks
Sean
