I have a wiki on a shared hosting server that was auto installed via cpanel, it's an older version of media wiki version 1.23.9. I wish I had known that to start off with, I assumed they were using the latest version, would have saved me some headaches when trying to install extensions.
In any case I've been making due because it does everything I want it to do for the most part and I'm not experience enough to try to manually update it.
The only thing I do wish to change are colors (would like a dark theme) however when I attempt to do so by editing the common:css and reloading the page with shift+f5 I see no effect. I took a look at my wiki in edge and also saw no effect.
I've been goggling this problem for the last two weeks I think I just lack some fundamental knowledge that's causing me to over look the root issue. I've tried copping tutorial changes onto the page and no effect, I've delete the vector.css and common.css pages and tried again and no effect.
I've reduced my css to the simplest of changes in order to eliminate variables. An example of what I've trying now is bellow.
body {background-color: #000000;}
I may just be entering entirely the wrong code, I've tried adding the !important tag after reading some things about css priority and no change.
The only other things I've changed about my wiki is that I've added tinyMCE and tried to add some 1.31 extensions before I realized that I was on 1.23.9. Maybe some of the poking around I did broke the common.css function? I'm not sure. I deleted all of the old
I also tried disabling tinyMCE and running the above code without it enabled in localsettings.php but still no effect.
Any how, this is a long shot but if any one has any insight that would be amazing. Thank you!
