What does it take to make changes?
I’ve been using WordPress.com for quite a while, with great success and pleasure, thank you. But I’ve now set up multiple standalone (NOT multisite) sites with WordPress. While I can enter content and add plugins and so forth, My attempts at using CSS have been completely foiled. No matter what I change (as root) in style.css is ignored. How hard is it to change h1{} for gosh sakes.
So clearly I am missing something. Something really simple. Help Please.

I’ve learned
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Site_Architecture_1.5
and know that index.php is my friend.I’ve learned
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Designing_Headers
and have examined headers.php very closely, as all the h{n} elements in style.css. I’ve edited all of these adjustingfloat: left;
to
float: center;and trying adding
text align: center;I’ve saved an HTML of a page, so I can examine the HTML for clues on where to do, without success yet.
I’ve examine the MySQL database and I have lots of tables and entries.
I’m learning a lot of good stuff, but not finding how to do the most basic tasks.
These are some of the things that need doing:
Front Page
? Title
I want it centered, not left-aligned
? Image
I want it centered and resizable, not left aligned and fixed size. Changing the resolution doesn’t seem to change things.Forum (BBPress)
? Description and image
I want these to show on the actual Forum page as a header section. It shows in the list of Forums, but disappears when you select the forum==========
I’m sure there are many more, and I can’t believe that I have to go to CSS to do them, so I conclude that I”m missing something really simple. But after two days of deliberate research and experimentation I haven’t found it.Thanks in advance, Andy
