It’s not uncommon for changes to CSS to sometimes not take effect immediately due to browser caching. To ensure that your recent CSS updates are applied correctly, I recommend performing a “hard refresh” of your website. This will force your browser to fetch the latest version of the page and its associated assets, including the updated CSS.
To perform a hard refresh, please follow these steps based on your operating system and browser:
Windows:
- With your browser window open, press Ctrl + F5 on your keyboard.
macOS:
- With your browser window open, press Command + Shift + R on your keyboard.
After performing a hard refresh, revisit your website to see if the CSS changes have taken effect. If you still don’t see the changes, here are a few additional steps you can take:
- Clear Browser Cache: Clearing your browser’s cache will remove stored versions of web pages and assets, ensuring that you’re seeing the most up-to-date content. Instructions for clearing the cache vary by browser, but you can typically find this option in your browser’s settings or preferences menu.
- Check CSS Code: Double-check the CSS code you’ve added or updated to ensure that there are no typos or errors that might be preventing the changes from being applied.
- Inspect Elements: Use your browser’s built-in developer tools (usually accessible by right-clicking on the page and selecting “Inspect” or pressing F12) to inspect the elements on your website. This can help you verify if the updated CSS is being loaded and applied correctly.
- Temporary Deactivate Caching Plugins: If you’re using any caching plugins on your WordPress site, temporarily deactivate them while you’re making and testing CSS changes. Caching plugins can sometimes delay the appearance of updates.
