    I'm using eleven40 pro.

    When I am making edits to my website style.css it seems to be taking a long time to refresh and display the edits.

    I can change any of the site, like <h1> to 50px font size and nothing changes for at least an hour.

    I can make changes, but they take an hour or more to take affect on the site.

    I don't have any cache plugins or security and all plugins are up to date.

    If I change a file name via FTP, say wp-content/themes to wp-content/themes2, the site breaks. If I change style.css to style1.css the site works fine.

    I've also edited style.css via the editor in WP admin back end and downloaded that same file via FTP and the changes are showing, yet it doesn't change how the site looks.

    Can you help please?

    Editing with Inspector works perfect. Did you empty your browser cache?

    Hi, my name is Jan Hoek. Sure, they all say I have a big head, but I like to think it’s way too small for all my ideas.

    I don't think that this is an issue with CSS. The changes you make do work. Changing a stylesheet filename but having an unchanged site would hint at some type of caching or enforced delay. I can see that renaming a folder (themes > themes2) might kill things. I expect that renaming functions.php would, too.

    I'd check with your webhost (5quidhost Limited?) to see if they can help sort this out. Perhaps they have a cacheing feature turned that you're not aware of?

    Please keep us advised! 🙂
