    I have worked with X for years. I love the theme.

    I just installed a new site. installed the new license. Installed the new child theme.

    The child theme style.css does not work.

    I have gone into customizer and put css there and they take without a problem. This is not my workflow. I do not wish to update css in customizer. I’ve been using child theme since forever to do custom css.

    I do a ton of css overwrites. Please help me get this working.

    The site is: http://silver.startheaters.wpengine.com/

    Thanks,

    Mike

    Hi Mike,

    Thanks for writing in! It seems you have a typo on your child theme.

    .tooltip-button (
bottom: -50px;
)

    And make sure that your selector, is more specific than the default. So it can actually overwrite the styling.

    Hope it helps, Cheers!

    Where is the typo? What am I doing wrong? Sorry, but I’m having a hard time understanding your answer.

    The particular selector (.tooltip-button) was just a test to see if the css was working. I have tried many, many tests with different selectors and none of them are working. The css doesn’t seem to be working at all.

    Like I said, it works in the customizer, but not on the style.css of the child theme.

    Please advise.

    Thanks!

    It must have been “user error” on my part. I wish I knew what I was doing wrong. But it seems to be working now.

    Thanks,

    Mike

    Glad to hear that, thanks! Could be due connectivity too.
