Changes to css now showing up on live website

    So I go to Appearance>Themes and the theme I purchased is listed there (the Arcade theme), along with other themes I could choose. On this page, I click on the Customize button on the Arcade theme and am brought to a new page that shows what my blog currently looks like with the theme, along with a sidebar on the right for editing the theme.

    I click on the CSS link in this sidebar and am given an area to add css. I add some simple css (I change the color of some text) and the change is immediately visible to the left of that sidebar. I click on the Save button and the sidebar says “Your design has been published!”.

    Well after all of this, I view my site and the changes I made to the css are not visible there. I even tried viewing the site in a different browser and pressing ctrl+f5 numerous times. The last thing I tried is to just wait. It has been over an hour now, however, and my site as seen by the public does not have the css changes. When I go to edit the css again, however, the changes are visible there.

    How does one make the changes they add to the CSS section show up on the website?

  • Can you post a link to your website? Also, what CSS are you adding?

    Here is my client’s website: https://www.stepfathersstepson.com

    I added this to the CSS section:

    #site-title a span{
transition:none !important;
transform:none !important;
display:inline !important;
color:#add8e6;
}

    When I add this css code to the CSS section, immediately to the left the header text changes in color to lightblue (#add8e6) and the header text straightens out to become horizontal. After saving this change, however, the website never seems to updates with the new css.

    The website has such a long name, that I had to straighten this header text out in order for all the words to be visible.

    When I look at your site, I don’t see that CSS code listed anywhere. Are you sure it was saved correctly? Also, you may get better help if you posted at the WP.com support forums.

    I am having the same problem – I just updated to the newest version of arcade basic a few minutes ago and I am trying to hide my site title and tagline using a css code I used with the previous version that worked:

    .headerblock {
    display: none;
    visibility: hidden;
    }

    This CSS code now does not work to hide the title and the tagline. I am on a self-hosted wordpress site: dwellbeautiful.com. I don’t know what to do!

    @stephencottontail That’s a good question: I just add the code, click save, and then the UI says “saving…” and then “Your design has been published!”. Not sure what is going on. The site is just a regular WordPress site hosted by WordPress.

    If the site is hosted at WordPress.com, then I suggest you check out their support forums. You may get better answers there.

    I figured it out: the CSS thing is not free. They let you preview it, but you have to pay have it actually update to your site.

    “This feature is a part of Custom Design. Purchase to make it live or exit the preview.”

    I’m sorry but you are in the wrong place. These forums are for self-hosted WordPress sites only. Please try asking your question on https://en.forums.wordpress.com/
