There is no problem with the Master Style. The problem arises when using the Master Style AND a Custom Style for a subset of pages on the same website.
Letâs say I have a site with 100 pages. On 80 of them I use the Master Style, no problem, but on 20 of the pages I want to use an alternative style. I then
- make a new page, deselect âuse master styleâ, tweak the style settings, and save the custom style as âMy Alternative Styleâ.
- I then create the other 19 pages and apply the custom style âMy Alternative Styleâ to them (after unticking âuse master styleâ). All is now great until:
- Later on, if I want to make a change to âMy Alternative Styleâ on all 20 pages, I have to go to one of those 20 pages, make the change, and chose âupdate custom style with current settingsâ. THEN I have to go to the other 19 pages, one at a time, and select âMy Alternative Styleâ for the pages to reflect the new changes.
Rapidweaver should, in my opinion, update the other 19 pages automatically - I canât see why it shouldnât! After all, this is how the Master Style works. And it really does not make sense that it is possible for âMy Alternative Styleâ to be different on different pages (until you manually update it on every page using it).
NOTE: my post title âOne custom style to rule them allâ may be a bit confusing. I donât mean that a custom style should replace the Master Style or anything like that. Just that updates to a custom style should actually update that custom style on all pages using it.
