    Hi, this is what happens:

    i make changes to my styles.css, locally. they update, work and look nice.

    when i try to mak the exact same changes on my online site, the do not update, do not show, nothing. as if they were not working…

    specificly i tried changing the widget title color and font size, and the slider size and position.

    my website is https://www.magellanicnaturetours.com

    any help will be really appreciated!

  • what method are you using to change the styles?

    can you post an example of recently edited styles?

    Do you have caching on your site? Are you clearing your browser cache?

    Also, you should not be making any changes to theme files – as they will be overwritten and lost when the theme is updated.

    You can, instead, use a Child Theme or custom CSS plugin. Then ADD your changes there – they will override the theme styles.

    alchymyth: to change the styles i go to the editor and in style.css i replace or add code i need.. an example would be:

    .eror404 .widgettitle {
    	font-family: 'Lato',sans-serif;
    	font-size: 16px;
    	letter-spacing: 1px;
    	text-transform: uppercase;
    	font-weight: 800;
    	background: url(images/dot-border.jpg) repeat-x bottom;
    	padding: 7.5px 0;
    	margin: 7.5px 0;
    	color: #cb4b2f;
    	}

    that style didn’t have that color property, the weight was 400 instead of 800, and the size was smaller.

    if i try now to change the color online it won’t, but locally it does..

    WPyogi:
    i actually thought it was my browser not refreshing, but cleared everything and still no result. as far as caching on my site… i don’t know, how can i check.

    yah, i became aware of child themes when i was finishing the site, so i anted to make everything, and then take styles, etc to a child…. i know it was a mistake =/

    i forgot to add that SOME changes do work. For example:

    .flexcontainer {
    	width: 100%;
    	max-width: 960px;
    	margin: 0 auto;
    	padding: 0 0 25px 0;
    }

    if i change the max-width to a smaller number, it changes without problem

    update: changes appeared after a while… i dunno.

    i read in a support section that this could happen because my host has caching, and may take time to show in the site.

    it’s frustrating cause i don’t know how it looks uploaded…

    thanks anyway! i take this for resolved
