CSS Stylesheet not updating

Are you using any caching plugins on your site? If so you may need to clear/empty the cache through the Dashboard.

Also you can try to do a hard refresh in your browser.

Windows: Ctrl + F5
Mac/Apple: Shift + Apple + R or Shift + Command + R

You’re allowed to post URLs to content that is not safe for work, as long as you let people know that.

I’m using W3TC. I’ve tried clearing its cache and my browser cache.

Site is https://femdomcaps.com (it’s very nsfw). The theme is very outdated and has this weird image styling (images have a white border and for some reason alt tags are shown on top of images)

Can you clear the W3TC cache again, then deactivate all of your plugins.

Then add this style:

body {
    border: 10px solid red !important;
}

Does the issue persist?

Here’s the result of that – https://i.imgur.com/mCpHNL2.jpg (NSFW)

Issue is moreso the stylesheet not updating, not the image border (although it’d be fantastic to have either fixed)

If the border worked then your issue is not that your stylesheet is not updating. Can you re-explain your issue?

OH. Well to do what you said, I had to leave on my custom CSS plugin (all other plugins switched off). Otherwise, it wouldn’t have worked.

Doh forgot about the deactivating plugins part. Did you find out the plugin that caused the issue?

Tried deactivating all plugins and then making an edit, no dice still.

Just for extra clarification, here’s how the stylesheet looks in the page source (I’m trying to clear the image styling): https://i.imgur.com/vdhXwod.png

and here’s how the editor looks: https://i.imgur.com/3Dulwcn.png.

Even when I edit the style.css file in cpanel at the same address as in the page source, no changes are made ??

For extra extra clarification, I can make changes to the CSS via a CSS editor plugin, but I cannot through actually editing the style.css. This is a pain since it means I cannot delete any styling.

Hi Bloopbleep, you’re not meant to edit the theme’s stylesheet so it worth exploring this?

Wait, really? How do most people go about removing styling?

They use a Custom CSS plugin or set up a Child Theme and override the theme’s styles (instead of editing the theme’s styles).

For example,
A theme has this style:

body {
    background: pink;
}

To override it, you just declare the same style but in your Custom CSS plugin or Child Them style.css file:

body {
    background: red;
}
