    Hi – I am having a similar problem where I am putting css code in the childtheme css file, and no changes are being seen on the site.

    e.g.
    #top .template-page .entry-content-wrapper h2 {
    text-transform: none!important;
    letter-spacing: 0px!important;
    }
    #top #topheadtitle .template-page .entry-content-wrapper h2 {
    margin-bottom:0!important;
    }

    (#topheadtitle is a cusom ID I applied on the page to try to help)

    When I inspect element in my browser, usually the childtheme css would show, but be crossed out if it wasn’t being used (bad hierarchy) – whereas it is not even showing. Most of the styles showing are coming from uploads/dynamic-avia/ folder.

    I have also got this error a couple of times – probably unrelated?
    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 72 bytes) in mysite/wp-content/themes/enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-template-builder/php/external/JSqueeze.php on line 484

    On another thread you said “You can check your css code by trying to enter it in WordPress > Customize > Additional CSS.” but I get the above error on the page preview there before i even try anything.

    I have fixed the memory error (adding define( ‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’ ); to the wp-config file).

    When I now use the css editor within wordpress I can see it makes changes, so why doesn’t it work in my childtheme css?

    Hi,
    I have taken a look at your site and adjusted your css a little, and it now works.
    Please note that the css is merged within the theme, so if you make a change to your child theme stylesheet you will need to regenerate the merge. To do this, please go to General Styling > Quick CSS field and put a space in so the Theme Options “Save all changes” button allows you to click it.
    Then clear your browser cache to see your changes.

    Best regards,
    Mike

    Thanks – however what you have done is add specific classes to two elements which has worked.
    However, I want to change all h2 headings, without having to apply a class each time. On many of my previous Enfold sites I have done this easily in the child theme css, but on this latest version they are just not working. I am afraid some of my previously working child theme css on other websites will now not work with theme update…?

    Ok, so I didn’t quite head what you said about needing to update the quick css (even just with a space) and save in order for the css to reset. When I do this my child theme css works. Strange this is needed – didn’t used to be. But hopefully it means my past custom css in older sites is still safe.

    Hi,
    Yes your custom css for older sites is safe, Please read this post it helps explain why the css & js are merged.

    Best regards,
    Mike
