    Hello,

    PLEASE HELP!

    I am unable to update my style.css file in my child theme because the button “UPDATE File” is unresponsive. Thus, I am unable to make any changes. The cursor changes when I hover over it, but when I click on it, the browser does not even reload. I have tried ctrl+F5, file permissions, trying different browsers. I am able to update all other pages, and files, except for my Style.css file. I can always change the file through FTP, but it’s extremely inconvenient when editing my theme.

    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!
    Thank you,

    Have you tried:
    – Flushing any caching plugins you might be running, as well as server and/or browser caches. Not just your browser, but any op cache or content network cache as well such as Cloudflare. If your host provider has a “Purge Varnish” option or if you can ask your provider to flush memcache on your server.
    – deactivating ALL (yes all) plugins temporarily to see if this resolves the problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s).
    – switching to the unedited default Theme (Twenty Sixteen, etc.) for a moment using the WP dashboard to rule out any theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).

    If the above steps don’t help, your browser may help you identify JavaScript issues or conflicts. Do you have any Javascript errors in the console when looking at the editor page? This article can assist you in doing that diagnosis.
