Custom CSS change will not appear

  • Hi,
    I have some problems with OceanWP Custom Style CSS. I have just taken this site from the previous dev.

    If I change something in the Customizer Custom CSS, this change will not appear on the website front end. If I view source, I can see the custom CSS in the code, but the objects are just not adhering to the changes, even if !important is included.

    I have already cleared all cache.

    Anybody some ideas how to handle this issue?

    Thanking You.

    What I can add is that although the custom CSS is not adhering to my changes, I can confirm that if I try to made the same changes using JS to change the style – this works – but is obviously not ideal.

    Hello @sqlguru,

    Thank you for reaching out,

    If you can see the custom CSS on your website but it doesn’t work, there can be only one reason: A syntax error in the CSS.
    You must check the CSS syntax because a single error can affect other CSS rules. To check the CSS syntax, you can use an online tool: https://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator.

    I’ve checked the custom CSS on your website: https://postimg.cc/RqCnP8fh. And saw some errors: https://postimg.cc/JyWsjdM1 – usually related to the curly brace symbol on media queries.

    I hope it helps.
    Best Regards

    Thanks for the feedback, I will investigate further… just still trying to clean out the mess of the previous dev.
