  • Any chance the server/browser are caching your file? Maybe try adding a random string as the version into your script enqueuing, so that every time the page loads, you're telling the browser it's a different CSS file and instead of serving a cached version it grabs the newest one that you just generated via the CSS?

  • Thanks Tony. I didn't have any caching set up on the site (via plugins), cleared the browser cache, and turned off Cloudflare on the domain, and the CSS file still didn't update without a hard refresh. So I was a bit perplexed. But adding the random string seems to have done the trick. Thank you for the suggestion! Commented Oct 18, 2020 at 15:24
  • I’ve noticed that sometimes, despite what I want, the server itself and even my browsers will still cache files, especially if I’m just fine tuning a production site rather than working on the early stages of a new project. It’s all part of how things are configured to make browsing faster and it’s not always obvious that it’s happening. With regards to caching plugins I’ve found them to be largely ineffectual. Using a host like FlyWheel that really sets servers up well is far more effective. But then you also sometimes need cache busting solutions like yours. Glad it’s fixed. 😊 Commented Oct 18, 2020 at 15:36
