Child theme no longer working?

That’s weird. Try creating a new, blank child theme to narrow down the issue.

I have tried that. I made a new child theme, completely blank and tried testing it by attempting to change the colour of one particular heading. All very basic code so I am very sure the css is correct but nothing.

Can you post a link to your site with the child theme active? Also, can you post an example of some code you’ve added that doesn’t work?

Here is my site.
This is the page in question, its not linked to the main part of my site yet.

This is the code that was previously working:

.et_pb_slide_description aboutslider {
max-width: 650px;
text-align:left;
padding: 40px 0 20px 20px;
margin: 0 auto;
float:left;
}

.et_pb_slide_description aboutslider h2 {
padding: 0 0 10px 0;
font-size:210%;
margin: 0 auto;
color: rgb(100,63,136);
line-height:130%;
}

also tried just changing the colour of the heading with this:

h2 {
color: rgb(100,63,136);
}

Any ideas? Thanks for your help!

Your code isn’t working for two reasons: you’ve forgotten the # on aboutslider and you’ve got the nesting order wrong. Because #aboutslider is the parent element, it needs to come before .et_pb_slide_description:

#aboutslider .et_pb_slide_description {
max-width: 650px;
text-align:left;
padding: 40px 0 20px 20px;
margin: 0 auto;
float:left;
}

#aboutslider .et_pb_slide_description h2 {
padding: 0 0 10px 0;
font-size:210%;
margin: 0 auto;
color: rgb(100,63,136);
line-height:130%;
}

Ahh, thank you for fixing that up, very much appreciate your help!

I am now wondering how the hell it was working in the first place now though haha.

Oh well, thanks again.
