    I am using the Azure Basic theme and I am having a lot of trouble with the style.css file. I add classes to the style.css file but they don’t show up in my website. I can see my classes on the inline part on the left side of Firebug but they don’t show up on the right side in the css information. This keeps happening over and over again. Why are my styles being ignored?

    Can someone please help me figure this out because i am wasting a lot of time with this!

    Thank you!

    Add styles using a Custom CSS Manager plugin instead.

    Thank you Andrew for your reply. I just installed the plug-in because I am so tired of fighting this.

    Do you know why this happens? I don’t know that I will use this theme again for this reason!

    Thank you again!

    The reason is likely to be either CSS specificity or the nature of CSS (to cascade, prioritising styles cascading downwards).

    We never recommend editing the theme’s files anyway, because (one of many reasons) you’re just going to lose those changes when the theme updates.

    Plugins that provide Custom CSS managing facilities call CSS interally (within the <head> section) and after the theme’s stylesheets. This increases chance of overriding the theme’s stylesheets.

    Thank you for your help Andrew and my styles were applied using the plug-in!
