    Hi,

    I’m using wordpress through godaddy and am trying to change my child theme css. I’ve downloaded the ‘celebrate’ theme and created a child theme which is activated. When you visit my site you can see the celebrate theme with my information (I put in my own menu titles through the child theme path ‘appearance–>menus’), but nothing changes when I try to change the CSS in the editor and press ‘update file’. This is my CSS: (I only tried to change the ‘color’ in the menu)

    /*
Theme Name:     Celebrate-child
Theme URI:      http://themehall.com/celebrate
Description:    Child theme for the Celebrate theme
Author:         emitiktak
Author URI:     http://themehall.com/
Template:       celebrate
Version:        0.1.0
*/

@import url("../celebrate/style.css");

#menu-primary li a {
display: inline-block;
padding: 25px 25px;
border-bottom: none;
color: black;
text-decoration: none;
text-transform: uppercase;
}

    Does anyone know why this might be? Any help is appreciated!

    Under Appearance > Editor on the right hand side where it says ‘select theme to edit’ did you select your child theme from the dropdown list & click ‘Select’

    Thanks for the reply. Yes, I did. I’ve also tried clearing the cache. Could it be that for certain themes you can’t change certain features purely through css and need to go into the php files? I also tried changing the header picture and the background colour through the editor but neither of those worked either.

    Also, when I try to edit the page from the actual site by pressing ‘edit page’, this error comes up: ‘You can’t edit this item because it is in the Trash. Please restore it and try again.’

    But it is definitely active and not in the trash because I can make changes with things other than then editor (pages, menu, etc)

    I switched from wordpress themes to my own coded site on godaddy, and then switched back to wordpress and that solved it.
