La vista previa del tema no funciona si el tema no se ha editado y guardado

No entiendo si eso es así como debería funcionar (pero parece extraño) o simplemente no funciona bien.

Si tengo un tema que no está habilitado y que no es un componente de otros temas activos, el botón de vista previa no funciona, o mejor dicho, funciona pero abre el sitio como siempre, sin permitirme ver la vista previa de esa hoja de estilos.


También lo intenté con hojas de estilos utilizadas como componentes de otros temas (activos), pero el resultado es el mismo.

Luego, si voy a la hoja de estilos y hago clic en «Vista previa» sin editar nada, tal como se describió antes, el sitio se carga normalmente, sin mostrar solo la vista previa.

Para efectos prácticos, el botón de vista previa no sirve para nada en este momento.

La vista previa solo funciona si cambio algo, hago clic en Guardar y luego en el botón de vista previa.

Entonces quería saber: ¿cómo se comparte la vista previa con otras personas?
A menudo me encuentro en la situación de tener que mostrar un trabajo en progreso para decidir con mi equipo cómo proceder.

Al principio compartí el enlace de vista previa con ellos, pero ahora que el enlace de vista previa ya no está disponible tengo que hacer muchas capturas de pantalla y, a menudo, no son suficientes para explicar los cambios realizados, porque no pueden verlos en «acción».

I believe @sam plans to do more work in this area soon but it may be a month or two out.

Wonderful :star_struck:

EDIT: (sorry for the two-time response, I was in the middle of a cat VS dog war…)

Do you mean that in addition to the existing functions he might consider adding extra functionality?

The big 2 pieces of functionality missing are

  1. Discovery of themes
  2. User selectable theme components

(2) is on my definite roadmap, (1) needs fleshing out.

Thanks for posting about this issue.

I installed and customised a theme last night and it was going well. When I hit PREVIEW it displayed the theme as I expected. But, this morning when I tried to preview it again, suddenly the unchanged CSS wasn’t being previewed at all. I couldn’t understand why it stopped working.

After reading your post above, I tried adding a blank space anywhere in the theme’s CSS, then clicked SAVE. And BOOM, suddenly the preview button works again, just like you said above.

This is a bug. And as you mentioned, it makes it harder to show the theme to others, without explaining the need to do a pointless save first.

I just ran into this as well. It makes it hard to test and build a theme behind the scenes. This should probably be fixed since it is not working as expected by the user.

It would also be nice to be able to make themes available to either Mods or Admins in addition to users. Let’s say we are working on a special Holiday Theme and do not want to show it or make it available right away.

I am having trouble reproducing this, is the problem theme on your site? I tried to repro the issue in dev and was unable to get this cache poisoning problem.

Right now if I go to a specific theme that is not selectable by users (ex /admin/customize/themes/47) and click on “Preview” the preview does not change the theme. If I then go in change anything (ex Color Scheme or theme name etc…) then it will Preview properly.

Just testing it again right now and it is happening to me.
