 * Hi Guys
 * I am trying to use the CSS blend modes on my wp theme but I just can’t get it
   to work.
 * I want to apply it to a hovered thumbnail using this code:
 *     ```
       img.postthumb:hover {
         background-color: #01157c;
         background-blend-mode: multiply;
       }
       ```
   
 * I am adding it to the CSS Stylesheet Editor but the `background-blend-mode: multiply;`
   appears red suggesting WP doesn’t know that it is code and when I save it it 
   just disappears.
 * What am I doing wrong?
