style.css changes not taking effect

  • I am using the WP Accelerate theme (free edition), and have used the WP editor to modify style.css, but the change is not being reflected on the website, even though the change to the style.css file seems to have been saved OK.
    The change that I made was:

    #featured-slider .entry-content {
	color: #FFFFFF;
	display: inline-block;
	max-width: 800px;
	text-align: right;
}

    I changed max-width from 400px to 800px. When I apply the change the stylesheet on the site still shows max-width set to 400px for this selector.
    Is it the case that the theme may ignore certain types of change made to the CSS?

    I am trying the change the style of the subtitle which overlays the main graphic on the home page (i.e. the one that reads “Working with international schools”/”Supporting students in making international career decisions”)

    In the “Additional CSS” section of the dashboard add and change this:

    
#featured-slider .entry-content p {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 10px 15px;
    background: none repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);
    font-size: 15px;
}

    Your css is getting affected. I can see the css that is getting applied.

    I’ve added that to the “Additional CSS” section but it doesn’t seem to help. If I view the CSS using the inspector feature in Chrome I still see this:

    #featured-slider .entry-content {
    color: #FFFFFF;
    display: inline-block;
    max-width: 400px;
    text-align: right;
}

    Hmmm…looks like it was an issue with my Chrome browser…I just opened an incognito window and the change had taken effect. I’ve had a few issues with Chrome appearing to cache certain things on sites, and causing problems.
    Thanks for the help!
