    Okay, I deleted the child and used a plugin to create one. this is what I have in the style sheet but it hasn’t made any change to the website. Is it correct if it is then where does my problem lie maybe.

    I understand you shouldn’t modify the original theme css sheet because you will lose your modifications with future updates. So we create a child and make our changes there. What I don’t understand is why don’t changes I make to the original theme CSS file take effect on the website as I tried this just to verify if I was modifying the correct file. I changed one color code as discussed above and cleared my cache and had no effect on the published website. My logic makes me think something else is wrong your thoughts.

    Okay, I tried that and it doesn’t take effect on the website. I’m using Mozilla with firebug to identify the code. it appears as you posted earlier but doesn’t take effect. I even went into the actual theme css file changed that one color code updated and see no change so I then changed back. I’m confused. This is the only code in the child style sheet right now. Is it correct should it change the text color of the menu

    Okay I have that fixed now. I still can’t get the changes that I make in the CSS sheet under the child theme take effect in the real world. Please advise your thoughts all I want to do is change some colors and fonts.

    Okay I think I have it fixed and I’m able to get in now. The only thing that is still wrong is the editor function of the dashboard. give me the same fatal error if i click on the editor button
