    Hi all,

    I created a custom.css file and uploaded it via FTP on the Lifestyle Pro Theme. I did this so that when a newer version of the theme is updated my css styles won't be lost.

    But the original stylesheet.css is overriding any styles that add to my custom.css file?!

    If anyone could help I would really appreciate it and could stop pulling my hair out!

    Thanks
    🙂

    Have you also linked the custom.css to your WordPress?

    "Now that you have uploaded the CSS file to your theme's default directory, you still need to tell WordPress to use this new style sheet in your current theme. Now there are many different ways you can do this, some of which are specific to the Genesis framework. "

    Here is an article on how to do it.
