    I'm confused ...

    I've built this site following Katrinah's video .... pretty much to a "t"

    I did notice that Custom CSS is available on the Dashboard called Edit CSS

    My first couple of entries updated just fine.

    Then it stopped updating.

    Best example I can give is the footer widget.

    Here's that code (what continues to appear is very different):

    .footer-widgets {
    background-color: #ffffff;
    border-top: 2px solid #dddddd;
    }

    }

    .widet-title {
    font-size: 30px;
    }

    .footer-widgets {
    color: #666;
    font-size: 20px;
    }

    a {
    color: #60C9C9;

    Same issue on the sidebar widget:

    }

    .sidebar .enews-widget {
    background-color: #556270;
    }

    Frustrating.

    Would love to hear your thoughts / suggestions

    Thank you ... Renee

    Can you access to your css file with ftp or cpanel?

    Hi Angelo ...

    Wrong? Would appreciate your suggestions...

    a) I followed Katrinah's video basically to a "t"

    b) the first code worked like a charm (nav bar)

    c) Yes, I have access via ftp. Although when I uploaded custom.css via ftp it never showed up under "style.css"

    that's when I discovered that built into this child theme is the "edit css"

    Appreciate any help you can offer so I can get my colors right

    Thank you, Renee

    Well Thats Strange..

    My advice

    1) Deactive all your cache plugins if you have it.
    2)Clean your browswer cache
    3) Clean the cache from your server if you have it
    4) Try to doit again using ftp or cpanel

    .Your code maight be like this when you update your css
    /* # Copy from here
    --------------------------------------------- */
    .footer-widgets {
    background-color: #ffffff;
    border-top: 2px solid #dddddd;
    }

    .widet-title {
    font-size: 30px;
    }

    .footer-widgets {
    color: #666;
    font-size: 20px;
    }

    .a {
    color: #60C9C9;
    }

    .sidebar .enews-widget {
    background-color: #556270;
    }
    /* # end here
    --------------------------------------------- */

    Hey Renee,

    I'm not sure if this will be helpful, but in the code sample you gave it looks like there is an extra bracket placed between .footer-widgets and .widget-title. If that is in the actual stylesheet it may be screwing up everything else after it.

    Hope this helps.
