    I'm sorry I don't have a link, everything is locked down for development, but please see screenshots.

    My edits will be a child theme of Lifestyle Pro soon, but they aren't yet, while we're in development.

    I changed the google fonts for the h2 and h4 tags and the changes will not show up in any browsers.

    I located the google font string in the function file and updated it.
    I located the fonts in the style sheet and updated them.
    I emptied my browser cache.
    I turned off & purged CloudFlare
    Held down shift key and refreshed REPEATEDLY
    I do not have any WordPress cacheing enabled, but double checked.
    I checked on an entirely different machine.
    I DELETED the entire style.css file and NO change shows on the website.
    I repeated the emptying of the caches, purging of CloudFlare & turned on the CloudFlare development mode.
    Held down shift key and refreshed until my fingers turned blue and fell off.
    STILL no difference whatsoever in the site... elements that the deleted stylesheet are supposed to be controlling!

    No changes have been made to the root Genesis files, and the site does not look like Genesis. It looks like a modified Lifestyle Pro theme... yet the stylesheet for it has now been deleted.

    In looking at Google Web Developer tools, the site is pulling a stylesheet with a version number tacked on the end. I can pull it up in the browser: /wp-content/themes/lifestyle-pro/style.css?ver=3.0.0

    But this file does not EXIST on the FTP or file manager in cpanel. What is this madness?

    Here's the file in my browser loading like it's totally legit:

    And here's a shot of my file manager with no such file in existence anywhere in that directory, and yes hidden files are selected to show up:

    Is it something from a minified css somewhere? I can't find a setting...

    Ugh. These forums are useless lately.

    If anyone else has this problem, change the version number at the top of the style sheet. THEN change the version number in the functions file. Save both, and shift + refresh and the css changes will FINALLY load.

    If anyone has a better fix for this, let me know. Not holding my breath though. Chirp, chirp.
