styleSheet.css file visible as uploaded but missing from public folder

I have recently upgraded from OJS 3.3 to 3.5.0-3. In the Journal Settings (Settings > Website > Appearance > Advanced), it shows that a custom stylesheet (styleSheet.css) is active. However, I cannot find this file anywhere in my current live server directory. I am currently on OJS 3.5.0-3.
Is there a way I can see what is inside this styleSheet.css file? I want to have it for adding more desired changes to the layout.
Thanks

Hi @pranjal007,

I suspect that it might live under the public directory (e.g. like here(ojs/public at main · pkp/ojs · GitHub) - there are no journals in this example, so with a journal I think it might look like: [ojs_root]/public/journals/[journal_id]/styleSheet.css

Could you try that?

Thanks for answering. I also thought it would be living there but in my public folder there was nothing just an empty index.html file. I was also very confused to see nothing there.

I tried looking for the styleSheet.css file in all other directories but could only find it in some of the older backups of the OJS.

I have an intuition that maybe it’s an issue of the database entry, what do you think about that?

Thanks

Hi @pranja, are you certain that you copied from the old installation when upgrading? It’s part of the upgrade instructions to copy the contents of the public directory from the old installation to the new.

Hi @rcgillis , Thanks for the help, after my update somehow the public folder was empty. I just copied the old public files from the backup and it is now working completely fine.
Thanks again!
