I was playing around a LESS file with the Pageline Customization plugin, the theme then had a complier error message as follows:

 

PageLines Core LESS/CSS error.

parse error: failed at `@import: "normalize.less"` line: 7069

 

I have deleted the plugin, removed the normalize.less file from the directory and reinstalled the theme. The error message still remain there.

 

Please advice how to fix this issue.

 

Thanks.

Hi there,

 

Look for a button in the admin bar at the top of the page which says 'flush less'. Hit that and it should recompile and clear the error :-)

(same bootstrap creator) as well as the "normalize.less" file as it is recommended in his Github. Here is what I did lead me to the compile error:

 

1. saved both less files in the same directory as the style.less & function.php from Pagelines Customization Plugin.

 

2. In "style.less" file, I added the following two lines.

 

@import: "normalize.less"

@import: "preboot.less"

 

3. then I added some LESS CSS codes in "style.less"

 

4. When I refresh my site, the compile error happened.

 

What did I do wrong?

Hi there,

 

I'm glad that worked :-)

 

I'm not a developer so I'm not sure on the other two files being used within the customize plugin from what I've read @import rules have to go at the top of the styesheet above the body tag for them to work. I think the plugin won't be able to use those files to be honest, it will have to go into a child theme, like the base theme. There's an example of what LESS the plugin can handle as opposed to the theme here which might help-

Thanks for pointing me to this link, I will take a look.

May I ask why you wish to use Preboot, most of the variables and mixins are already available in PageLines ?
