Child Theme Not Working with twentyseventeen

    I’m having an odd problem with something that has always been extremely simple in the past.
    I’m using twenty seventeen theme, and trying to add a child theme to it. I have taken the standard step of adding a twentyseventeen-child folder to “themes” and putting in a style.css and functions.css file. But none of the changes I make to style.css are showing up on the site.
    Style.css file is:

    /*
 Theme Name: Twenty Seventeen Child Theme
 Theme URI: https://yourwebsite.com
 Author: Your Name
 Author URI: https://yourwebsite.com
 Template: twentyseventeen
 Description: Child theme for Twenty Seventeen.
 Version: 0.1
 License: GNU General Public License v2 or later
 License URI: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html
 Tags:
 Text Domain: twentyseventeen-child
 */

    functions.php file is:

     <?php
 add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_enqueue_styles' );
 function theme_enqueue_styles() {
 wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
 }

    Site is: devtester16.com
    you need to login to see. [redacted]
    Thanks – this has always been a really simple formality in the past but this time it doesn’t work.

    Now for the why: The internet is a wonderful place full of very nice people and a few very bad ones. I’m sure everyone here is very nice however, by giving some ones keys to your house you are trusting they wont steal anything. Likewise the person who takes the keys is now responsible for the house FOREVER.

    So, bottom line: Do not ask for or offer credentials on the forums.

    like what?

    right now, there are no additional styles in the file.

    what are you trying to change in the formatting?

    Michael I tried a few different things. Sorry – I did take them out before posting question.

    I’ve thrown a few basic, random things back into the child style.css via the editor in dashboard, just to test. Not sure they’re written correctly, but none are having any effect:

    .site-description {
    display: none;
    }

    .page .panel-content .entry-title {
    color: #000066;
    }

    p {
    color: #000066;
    }
    .main-navigation a:hover {
    color: #d01818;
    }

    Ah! You know something. It actually is working. Problem is just caching in my browser not showing changes right away. Sorry for the dumb question! Appreciate your effort to help.
