How quickly does the Theme Editor update your site?

    I make updates to my CSS in WordPress’s built-in theme file editor, but the changes don’t show up immediately on my site.

    Is this normal? How long does it generally take for a CSS change (made in the theme editor) to show up your website?

    Hello,
    its not taking any time plz check do you have any cache plugin install, if yes then clear cache and go to frontend and press ctrl + F5 button 2 or 3 time to refresh page.

    On the front end, I hit Caching –> Purge All, and it still doesn’t update. Then when I return to working on the site the next day, the updates show up…

    …The CSS is definitely being changed. I know this because I logged into my web hosting account to see if the CSS file has been updated there. It has.

    Yet when I refresh my page the CSS hasn’t taken effect. (I use a hard refresh, using Ctrl F5, or Ctrl update button in chrome, or Caching –> Purge All, still no luck.)

    As an experiment, I made a change to an element that I have updated with CSS in the past. I just wanted to see if I’m targeting the elements correctly. Even that element which updated fine in the past doesn’t update immediately, so I know there’s no problem with how I am applying CSS… the problem is either WordPress or Chrome.
