I recently purchased Enfold and I’m having one heck of a time dealing with overriding some of the CSS.
If I use General Styling, I can change some things, but other things don’t change at all.
If I use Quick CSS, I get no results.
I followed the Vimeo video on creating child themes and had a lot of problems. First of all, the associated files don’t seem to work or they’re for an older version of Enfold. The only way I was able to get them to do anything was by copying and pasting style.css from Enfold to my Enfold-child. However, no matter what I change in the style.css, nothing happens.
I’ve tried disabling every plug-in I have, and get no change.
I’ve also tried modifying custom.css, and still get nothing. Something as simple as this:
h2 { font-size: 28px; line-height: 1.1em; margin-bottom: 10px; color: green; }
has no effect at all. I don’t even see it when I reload the page and inspect the CSS.Sorry if this post is rambling, I’ve literally been awake for around 36 hours while working on this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please make sure that wp-content>uploads folder has correct permissions ( 755 ).
Please also create a temporary admin login and post it here privately so we can take a look at the backendBest regards,
YigitJune 3, 2014 at 1:42 pm #273871Hang on… it looks like my server has been hit.
I ran a safebrowsing diagnostic on it from Google and it was flagged immediately…
I have to get in touch with my host and see how bad things might be.

Seems to be working fine when adding in css for me. I changed the scroll to top background color via Quick CSS just now.
There was no child theme in your themes section so I couldn’t take a look at how that was set up. In general however a child theme is very simplistic in what it needs. If you are familiar with github I have a child theme here you can refer to: https://github.com/DevinVinson/enfold-child-starter
Cheers!
DevinJune 3, 2014 at 5:31 pm #274001If you look in the Theme Options section, you’ll see I’ve purposely set up some bright colors. None of them show up for me.
Are you saying when you view the site you see an ugly bright green header?
If so, then something is wrong with my Chrome install.
Thanks,
Paul
P.S. I can see the code you’ve typed in, but nothing looks different to me. The bar is still white.

This is how i see your website – http://i.imgur.com/4Y9ExVF.png
Please flush browser cache and refresh your page a few timesRegards,
YigitJune 3, 2014 at 7:32 pm #274107Weird. I don’t see that green color. I’ve tried on 3 different machines and an iPad – all of them show the same thing.
I wonder if it’s Cloudflare (Cloudfront?). My host has it on all accounts.

It’s definitely something on your end, here’s how i see it:

JosueJune 3, 2014 at 8:53 pm #274181This reply has been marked as private.June 3, 2014 at 9:33 pm #274212Ha! I think I fixed it. The JSON REST API plugin was disabled. Once I enabled it, I started seeing the changes.
That doesn’t explain why you guys could see them, though, does it?
EDIT – I spoke too soon. While, yes, it did fix the problem, it actually didn’t… No changes I make in the CSS are being reflected.
This is incredibly frustrating.

June 3, 2014 at 9:38 pm #274218I don’t think that plugin had something to do with this directly, but enabling/disabling it may have caused a cache reset on the server or something.
Best regards,
