there is a basic option i missed to sort this

Thank you so much for your help, im still unsure as to why my edits on the parent css are never taking affect, but i am now able to override whatever css is being used via the chils theme, which is the main thing!

thanks again

Additional info:

The plot thickens… So i just noticed/remembered that i had attempted to alter the .lsep file in the parent theme (the height is set to 0px). I just reuploaded this css via ftp into my simplify theme folder.

My child theme is directly pulling the css from this folder via @import. So how come now on my website the .lsep file still remains and under inspection the pixels are set to 20 (the original default) and not to 0 as i have specified in the parent css.

here is the exact line again

.lsep{background:url(“images/lsep.png”) no-repeat scroll top center #CCCCCC;clear:both;height:0px;margin:10px auto;}

and on website puerteaspecialists.co.uk – height:20px

I even downloaded the css file directly from my server via ftp to ensure i was opening the version that simplify claims to be running (themes/simplify/style.css) and the pixel height is set to 0, yet the website itself is showing 20. Very confused

Thanks a lot!

If im honest i was semi guessing, this is the lines in css which i attempted to alter

#content-full{width:930px;}

.content-ver-sep{background:none repeat scroll 0 0 #CCCCCC;border-bottom:1px solid #FFFFFF;clear:both;height:1px;}

.lsep{background:url(“images/lsep.png”) no-repeat scroll top center #CCCCCC;clear:both;height:0px;margin:10px auto;}

I found a template to alter parent theme rules and was just attempting to fit the information to it! Please let me know how you would remove lsep?

One problem ive been having is on inspecting my css on (for example) fire bug, the ccs line does not match the line of my css file when opened (in expression web)… I dont know if this is linked but its confused me and makes me worry my website is somehow built on dodgy foundations.

an example: on firefox style (line:88) for lsep
on expression web – relating info found on line 177

thanks again for your help
