How are you adding this CSS?

To discover what CSS is output by your theme, use a web inspection tool such as Firebug: https://getfirebug.com/ , Chrome Inspect Element: https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/ or Internet Explorer 9+ F12 Dev. Tools: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd565627(v=vs.85).aspx#csstool

There are others.

When editing CSS, use a Child Theme

Custom CSS Plugin, or Theme provided custom CSS option.
Edits to parent themes are lost on theme update.

I’m not missing the closing ) in the file just didn’t have it in this message. I’ve tried getfirebug, again can’t see any changes. I tried using a custom css plugin and putting code in that but again can’t see any changes to the site, I am stuck

oh and just to add, I won’t be updating the theme so I am happy to change the parent theme if need be its not a problem

If you don’t update the theme your site will eventually have compatibility and/or security issues. Not a good idea at all.

Start by looking into quite a few validation errors on your site:

It also looks like a theme stylesheet (css/foundation.css) is being loaded after your changes so you may need to make your more specific or use the !important rule.

oh okay I didn’t know that about not updating the themes. well I was having trouble changing the css also with the menu but I just finally managed to do that, will keep trying with default font. that’s good info about the foundation.css didn’t realise that either ?? thanks guys, I’ll keep fiddling around with the css
