I'm facing a weird problem in wordpress. Every change I make in content and all others except "Theme Design" works great. Every change I make in "Theme Design" it takes almost endless time like when I first made change and then I keep trying on changing and saving different settings of Theme Design, it took almost 2 hours to show my change, same thing happened next time.
I'm using "venedor Green-pink" Theme.
This is my web on which I'm working on: http://www.teuscherchocolate-oc.com/
Background of header is transparent, I made this change 5 hours ago, now I've changed the background to grey color but the changing is not showing up.
It sounds more like a browser issue. When logged into wordpress you should see all changes, even to a simple stylesheet, etc. However, outside of wordpress it could take an undefined amount of time for a browser to clear it's cache automatically for a new stylesheet it doesn't know is updated.
You could consider adding version numbers to the files responsible for your Theme Design changes. In other words, find what styles are being updatted and where. Tack on ?v=1 to the file.
If you clear your cache, do the changes show?

Apologies for such an amateur question, I can't find the answer anywhere else after searching.
I have a pre-installed theme on WordPress for which I have used an SFTP to make minor code changes to my site. Just little things like changing the hardcoded footer text, the CSS and a slight tweak to a php file, that all worked perfectly. However, this is the 3rd time I have had to make these same changes because I will log in one day and all my changes have disappeared without me doing anything. It just reverts back to the original theme.
Why could this be?
I don't have a child theme which I know I should sort out, but could not having a child theme be the reason it reverts back?
Thanks in advance.
You're most likely modifying a theme that gets updated automatically. Your changes get overwritten by the updated official version. If you want to keep your changes, you'll have to use a child theme or make a plugin, depending on what kind of changes you want to make.

Good habit is backup before do changes.
Checklist: 6 Things You MUST DO Before Changing WordPress Themes
Take Notes on Your Current Theme
Go through your theme files and note down all additional code that you added. You also want to check your current theme’s load time because this way you can compare the two. Go to a site like Pingdom Tools or use YSlow to test out different pages (Yes different pages, not just the homepage).
Be cautious of the Sidebars
If you are using a widget-enabled theme, and you switch to a theme that is not widget-ready, then you will lose all of that. If you are using a widget-enabled WordPress theme, then this is not an issue.
Also anything that you modify in sidebar.php file of your old theme, will be overwritten. So make sure that you add those codes in the new theme sidebar.
Backup!!
You never have anything to lose by creating a backup. As a precautionary measure, you should backup all of your theme files, plugins, and the database.
4.Testing all functionality and plugins
Once you have the new theme activated, you need to make sure that you retain all the functionality and plugins still work. Try out all the features including but not limited to the commenting process, single post pages, search, 404 page, archive page, contact page etc. Make sure all of your widgets are still there and are working.
Cross Browser Compatibility
Test your site in all browsers you have access to. Browsers have a tendency of rendering things differently.
Maintenance Mode
You probably don’t want your users to see while you are making the switch because they will end up seeing a broken site or such. It is best to turn on Maintenance mode for 15 – 20 minutes that it may take you to make sure that everything is working properly. Once you have setup Maintenance mode, you are good to go ahead and activate the new theme.
I've just finished creating a new custom theme based on the underscores framework, and It's ended up breaking my current wordpress installation after applying it.
Although everything is running fine on the front end, the back end is running really weird.
The following issues have presented themselves:
Trying to add a new post (either regular, or one of the new custom post types I've defined) just results in a blank page. Although the post has been created, the admin section gets stuck on the wp-admin/post.php page.
My media library no longer shows up in the media browser. Although all 6,000+ images are still there, none show up.
When logged in, it takes ages for the page to load in the Wordpress admin bar, as it appears it can no longer display the site stats (it just shows the broken image icon after it's finally finished loading in, when the new theme is selected).
I've tried to refresh the permalinks, but this hasn't worked.
Any ideas? I was hoping to re-launch my website today, but it looks like I might have to put it on hold...
Get ahold of the devs for your framework. Your experience is not an uncommon one. It has happened to my sites several times. Unless you want to tweak the php yourself, they will have to help you.
Managed to sort this out. Turns out a function I had written to add a custom field to menu items broke the entire back end. Thanks for the help everyone!
My site used the Sunburst theme without any custom style sheets – at most I would update the logo. I recently updated the logo and front-page after a long absence. The logo was successfully updated, however something else happened and now the site appears unstyled. Skip to content/Skip to navigation text links (for accessibility) appear at the top where they had not previously.
I checked portal_skins/custom, but there was no ploneCustom.css file there to remove, only the logo.png. I tried changing the theme to Classic but it also appeared unstyled, so then I changed it back to Sunburst. Next I went to portal_skins/sunburst_styles and pressed the customize button for public.css and ploneCustom.css, hoping to override the current style. Even though the style files were copied to portal_skins/custom (I did not modify the copies), the site still appears unstyled.
Please help a grad student whose occasional task is to maintain a Plone site (server is running Plone 4.) The server admin is away at a conference – the previous server admin who had the Plone expertise graduated last fall and is now out of the country (and also at the same conference.) I’ve read the documentations and searched for similar issues, but am at wit’s end.
I would greatly appreciate any guidance in how to revert back to the default Sunburst theme styles!
Sometimes the "Plone Classic Theme" seems to become applied when upgrading. In the Theme control panel ( http://yoursite/##skins-controlpanel ) make sure that "Sunburst" is selected.
I am working on WP 3.5.1, the latest version with a Duotive Three theme installed in it. Everything was working fine until 2 days back, but from 2 days, whenever I edit my CSS file either through the FTP or the Wordpress Admin, it does not reflect in the browser, either in the website or when I open the CSS file in the browser directly. However, the changes start reflecting a few hours later, I do not know how long exactly. But it frustrates me a lot because I need to wait for a long time to see the changes and check them.
I have tried refreshing the browser with Shift + F5, I deleted browser cache, cookies and even temp files. But still it does not work. Please help.
Note:- I have been working in Wordpress since around 6 years now, built more than 100 websites in Wordpress but this is the first time I am facing this problem. I tried to consult with my network of friends and spent hours googling, many had similar problems but not exactly like mine.
One thing that you might do is to add a version number where the css is called.
If it is called in the head, you can do it like:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="youtstylestyles.css?version=1.0" media="all" />
This will make the browser refresh.
There is also a variable in the wp_enqueue_style() function (if that is how the stylesheet is added) and if you up that it will force a refresh.
In your WP Admin GoTo
Appearance -> Theme Options -> Dynamic CSS ->
In this option scroll down you can see USE option
Here you need to select Internal Stylesheet from drop down menu.
