    Hi All I'm trying to change the before footer on my blog to white from blue.

    I'm sure it might be a caching thing again but who knows.

    I did an inspect element to find the right piece of css tested in there it worked found it in editor saved it, changed it, cleared my browser cache but its still BLUE arrghhghghghghghg

    Any ideas?

    Hi,

    by before footer do you mean the footer-widget area?
    If so, the css is still showing the blue background color:

    .footer-widgets {
        background-color: #27AAE1;

    Double check that you are changing the style.css of the right child theme and that you are getting a "File edited successfully." message on top of the Editor after you clicked "Update File".

    What caching are you using? I couldn't see an active caching plugin or CDN.

    Yes I am and I've just gone back into it and my style.css file is showing

    .footer-widgets {
    background-color: #fff

    here's a link to a screen shot of that section of my css

    Ok. That is weird.

    So you are getting the "file edited successfully" message?
    And you are not using any caching plugin or CDN or hosting provider that caches your pages?

    Yes I am getting the file edited successfully message

    I've just gone into my hosting provider and flushed the cache and disabled it still nothing, I use w3 total chache but it was currently disabled.

    and no i'm not using any cdn.

    its very odd how its showing as the old hex colour in inspect element when the css files shows differently

    confused ;(
