Editor has problem recognizing custom properties and advnaced css rules.

Hi there,

SO-CSS had problem recognizing css variables, variable definitions and advanced css selectors. It also had problem with complicated css rules such as repeat function in grid.

SO-CSS marks all of these as false and error.

Grid Repeat Function:

Note: Does not understand gap property as well.

CSS variable definitions:

Variable usage:

Problem with :has selector:

Probably there is some update to the code editor. Maybe old version of code mirror is causing these errors and warnings. Current version was released in 2017 and there are new versions available.

Hope you guys are able to fix this problem.

Have a nice day.

Hi @numanzahid

Thanks for taking the time to get in touch. We're using the core WordPress version of CodeMirror.

It looks like there is a Trac ticket open at https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/48456. If the situation persists, we'll re-evaluate whether to self-host CodeMirror. Thanks again for reaching out.

Hi @Misplon,

Thanks for the fast response. Hopefully SiteOrigin team decides to self host the CodeMirror as WordPress is not likely to change this.

On the other hand whole functionality of SO-CSS relies on its editor. Especially SO-CSS is offering premium version of this plugin as well.

Surely the self hosting will add about 3mb to the plugin but will allow you to use more CodeMirror addons and functionalities and complete control over the behavior.

Have a nice day.

Hi, thanks for your reply.

SiteOrigin CSS is almost entirely free. The only setting that SiteOrigin Premium adds is a Web Font Selector for choosing Google Fonts. There isn't a premium version of SiteOrigin CSS, as you'd normally understand it. Just the one setting added via SiteOrigin Premium.

CodeMirror was previously included in SiteOrigin CSS. We'll reevaluate the situation with the core being updated and get back to you in the week.

Thanks again.

Andrew

@numanzahid Apologies for the delay. We, unfortunately, haven't had a chance to move CodeMirror yet. We'll update you as soon as we've made progress.
